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.

Installation

You can install this library from Quicklisp, but you want to receive updates quickly, then install it from Ultralisp.org:

(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/"
                      :prompt nil)
(ql:quickload :cl-info)

Or you can install the script using Roswell:

ros install 40ants/cl-info

Usage

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 (1 2) 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 (1 2) 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
