CL-INFO - Common Lisp Environment Reporter

This is a small utility, useful to display information about you Common Lisp environment. You might want to call it in the CI pipeline or to use it when rendering a crash report in some client applications.

Usage from Common Lisp

It's main entry point is cl-info:get-cl-info function. It returns an object with customized PRINT-OBJECT method. You can use it to output debug information in your programs.

cl-info collects inforrmation about OS, Lisp Implementation, ASDF, installed Quicklisp distributions:

CL-USER>

Also, you can gather information about separate systems using cl-info:get-system-info function:

CL-USER> (cl-info:get-system-info :hamcrest)
System: HAMCREST 0.4.2
       /Users/art/common-lisp/cl-hamcrest/src/

Usage From Command-line

Also, you can use cl-info as a command-line utility. It is useful to output information about common lisp environment running on CI server.

Here is how to do it:

# Here we use a Roswell, to install utility
[art@art-osx:~]% ros install 40ants/cl-info
   
# And now request information about lisp and some systems
[art@art-osx:~]% cl-info weblocks clack jonathan some-other-system
OS:   Darwin 15.6.0
Lisp: Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.11.5/v1.11.5  (DarwinX8664)
ASDF: 3.3.1.1
QL:   org.borodust.bodge 20180214223017
      quicklisp 2017-10-23

        /Users/art/common-lisp/weblocks/src/

        /Users/art/common-lisp/clack/
System: jonathan 0.1

System: some-other-system is not available
