Arguments: configuration
Configurations contain information about the Lisp environment. The
current configuration is the value of (configuration *system*). Among
the information stored is the desired value for many standard global
variables. These globals are set to these values when the system is
initialized. Changing a value in the configuration changes the current
value of the global. Accessors are typically named with a symbol named
the same as the global variable but without the surrounding stars (if
any).
This function accesses the value of the print-length property, which
corresponds to the *print-length* global
variable. This global variable controls how many elements of a list
are printed when the list is printed. The value nil means print all the elements. A positive integer
value means print that number of elements and indicate missing
elements with suspension points (…).
print-length is a property of the configuration class.
You can examine and change configuration options with the inspector. Choose Tools | Inspect System Data | Configuration Options.
