CHAPTER 27. COMMAND PROCESSING

is in keystrokes but does not have a command associated with it in command-table.

keystrokes is a sequence of keyboard gesture names that are the keystroke accelerators.

command-table, stream, command-parser, command-unparser, and partial-command-parser are
as for read-command.

=> command-line-command-parser command-table stream [Function]
The default command-line parser. It reads a command name and the command's arguments as
a command line from stream (with completion as much as is possible), and returns a command
object. command-table is a command table designator that specifies the command table to use;
the commands are read via the textual command-line name.

=> command-line-command-unparser command-table stream command [Function]
The default command-line unparser. It prints the command command as a command name and
its arguments as a command line on stream. command-table is a command table designator that
specifies the command table to use; the commands are displayed using the textual command-line
name.

=> command-line-read-remaining-arguments-for-partial-command command-table stream partial-
command start-position [Function]
The default partial command-line parser. If the remaining arguments are at the end of the com-
mand line, it reads them as a command line, otherwise it constructs a dialog using accepting-
values and reads the remaining arguments from the dialog. command-table is a command table
designator.

=> menu-command-parser command-table stream [Function]
The default menu-driven command parser. It uses only pointer clicks to construct a command.
It relies on presentations of all arguments being visible. command-table and stream are as for
command-line-parser.

There is no menu-driven command unparser, since it makes no sense to unparse a completely
menu-driven command.

=> menu-read-remaining-arguments-for-partial-command command-table stream partial-command
start-position [Function]
The default menu-driven partial command parser. It uses only pointer clicks to fill in the
command. Again, it relies on presentations of all arguments being visible. command-table is a
command table designator.

=> *command-parser* [Variable]
Contains the currently active command parsing function. The default value is the function
command-line-command-parser, which is the default command-line parser.
