pll-file

$Revision: 5.0.2.5 $

Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: nil

Returns the name and perhaps the location of the current .pll file, or nil if there is no .pll file associated with the running Lisp. The location information is only returned (along with the name) if the image was created with location information specified along with the name (that is, build-lisp-image was called with the value of the :pll-file argument being <directory>/<filename and type> rather than just <filename and type>).

On startup, Lisp looks for the pll file as follows:

If location information is supplied, look there only (relative to the current directory if the location information is relative).
If just the filename and type or just the filename is supplied, do:

If there is no type, use the type pll. (Note that the type of the file supplied with the distribution is sometimes epll rather than pll.)

Look in the current directory.

Look in the Allegro directory.

[Windows only] Look in the Windows `system' directory.
