5.1 Public Interface


5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *language*

This variable holds the user’s chosen language.

Its default value is automatically chosen according to the system’s configured language.

The value held by this should be a LANGUAGE instance.

See SYSTEM-LOCALE:LANGUAGE
See LANGUAGE

Package

multilang-documentation.

Source

language.lisp.


5.1.2 Ordinary functions

Function: documentation (object type &key lang)

Retrieve the documentation string for the given object and type.

You may optionally specify the language that the docstring should be in. The default language is *LANGUAGE*, which
will typically be automatically configured according to your system’s locale settings.

When reading a docstring, if there is no documentation stored specifically for the given language, and the language is eq to *LANGUAGE*, CL:DOCUMENTATION is consulted instead.

When writing a docstring, if the language is eq to *LANGUAGE*, the docstring is also written to CL:DOCUMENTATION. Note that your implementation might not store docstrings for unknown documentation specifiers, but the language object will always do so regardless. Either way, this mechanism is mostly provided as a best-effort backwards compatibility to users of CL:DOCUMENTATION.

See CL:DOCUMENTATION
See DOCUMENTATION*
See *LANGUAGE*

Package

multilang-documentation.

Source

drop-in.lisp.

Function: (setf documentation) (object type &key lang)
Package

multilang-documentation.

Source

drop-in.lisp.


5.1.3 Generic functions

Generic Function: canonicalize-doctype (object type)

This function should return a canonical representation for the given documentation specifier.

Some documentation strings can be referred to by different
specifiers. For instance:

- (#<function foo> T)
- (#<function foo> ’function)
- (’foo ’function)

All refer to the same documentation string. This function
should return a value that identifies a docstring for the
given object and type. The same (under EQUAL) value must
be returned for any object and type combinations that
should refer to the same docstring.

You should add appropriate methods to this function for
custom documentation specifiers / types.

See CL:EQUAL

Package

multilang-documentation.

Source

canonical.lisp.

Methods
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object symbol) (type (eql type)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object symbol) (type (eql structure)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object list) (type (eql compiler-macro)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object list) (type (eql function)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object symbol) (type (eql compiler-macro)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object symbol) (type (eql function)))
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object structure-class) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object standard-class) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object standard-method) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object method-combination) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object package) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype ((object function) type)
Method: canonicalize-doctype (object type)
Generic Function: documentation* (object type lang)

Access the docstring for the given object, type and language.

If LANGUAGE is not an instance of LANGUAGE, the value is coerced to a LANGUAGE instance by way of the LANGUAGE function.

When reading a docstring from an inexistent language, NIL is returned as well as a NO-SUCH-LANGUAGE instance as the secondary value.

When writing a docstring to an inexistent language, a new language instance is automatically created by way of the :IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST :CREATE argument to the LANGUAGE function.

If you are implementing your own subclass of LANGUAGE that bypasses the DOCUMENTATION-STORAGE mechanism, you should add methods to this function that provide the desired behaviour.

Generic Reader: documentation-storage (language)

Returns the hash-table for the docstring storage of the language.

This hash-table must be using the EQUAL test.
Keys are canonical docstring identifiers as returned by CANONICALIZE-DOCTYPE. Values are docstrings.

Methods
Reader Method: documentation-storage ((simple-language simple-language))

%documentation-storage.

Generic Reader: identifier (language)

Returns the identifier of the object.

See NO-SUCH-LANGUAGE
See SIMPLE-LANGUAGE

Package

Source

language.lisp.

Methods
Reader Method: identifier ((simple-language simple-language))

automatically generated reader method

Target Slot

%identifier.

Reader Method: identifier ((condition no-such-language))
Target Slot

identifier.

Generic Function: language (identifier &key if-does-not-exist)

Returns the language object referred to by the given identifier.

If a LANGUAGE instance is passed, the language instance is simply returned directly.

IF-DOES-NOT-EXIST can be one of the following values, designating the behaviour if no language for the given identifier can be found:

:CREATE — A new SIMPLE-LANGUAGE instance is created and associated with the identifier.
:ERROR — An error of type NO-SUCH-LANGUAGE is signalled. The following restarts will be available:
USE-VALUE — Return the given restart value. STORE-VALUE — Associate the given restart value with the identifier and return it. MAKE-INSTANCE — This behaviour is the same as :if-does-not-exist :create
NIL — Returns NIL.

When USE-VALUE or STORE-VALUE are called interactively, the value is read and evaluated, and then passed through LANGUAGE to potentially coerce it to an existing language object.
