finalize-definitions [Function]

Purpose

The finalize-definitions function causes Loom to perform a number of internal actions that finalize the state of the definitions in the network before data manipulation operations are performed. In particular, this function can be used to force the early creation of CLOS classes for all concepts having the :clos-class characteristic. (Normally these classes aren't created until the concepts are first instantiated.)

Syntax

finalize-definitions

Arguments

This function takes no arguments.

Value

The finalize-definitions function returns nil.

Remarks

Simply calling tellm with no arguments has the same effect as calling finalize-definitions.

Examples

(finalize-definitions) ==> NIL
