1 Introduction

lisp-invocation

lisp-invocation is a small library for starting Lisp processes from Common Lisp.

lisp-invocation actually only computes the proper command-line invocations; to actually run a process, you will use uiop:run-program, inferior-shell:run, or external-program:start.

Usage

A simple example: Starting an SBCL process, running some code and quitting. Here we use uiop:run-program to run the process and extract its output.

(let ((impl :sbcl))
  (uiop:run-program
   (lisp-invocation:lisp-invocation-arglist
    :implementation-type impl
    :eval (format nil "(progn (format t ~S '~S) ~A)"
                  "~{~31R~^ ~}~%" '(595756 9556552524 643802 496307950)
                  (lisp-invocation:quit-form :code 0 :implementation-type impl)))
   :output :string))

Requirements

lisp-invocation depends on ASDF 3.1.2 or later for its package-inferred-system, but you'd want it 3.1.2 anyway for its enhanced uiop:run-program.

Description

Invoking Lisp subprocesses from Lisp

Long Description

lisp-invocation allows you to portably execute Lisp code
as subprocesses of a current Lisp process.
All known command-line accessible Common Lisp implementations are supported.
