QUERY: Lisp code for querying the user.
lang/lisp/code/io/query/
The QUERY package generalizes the capabilities of the Lisp
functions Y-OR-N-P and YES-OR-NO-P, and is similar in many ways to
the Symbolics FQUERY function. There are several major differences,
one of which is QUERY's ability to timeout with a default value. In
addition to redefining Y-OR-N-P and YES-OR-NO-P in terms of QUERY,
this package defines Y-OR-N-P-WAIT and YES-OR-NO-P-WAIT to illustrate
the timeout capability. More complicated queries are possible using
the QUERY function.
