*command-line-args*

var

    
A sequence of the supplied command line arguments, or nil if
none were supplied

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*compile-files*

var

    
Set to true when compiling files, false otherwise.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*compile-path*

var

    
Specifies the directory where 'compile' will write out .class
files. This directory must be in the classpath for 'compile' to
work.

Defaults to "classes"

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*compiler-options*

var

    
A map of keys to options.
Note, when binding dynamically make sure to merge with previous value.
Supported options:
:elide-meta - a collection of metadata keys to elide during compilation.
:disable-locals-clearing - set to true to disable clearing, useful for using a debugger
:direct-linking - set to true to use direct static invocation of functions, rather than vars
  Note that call sites compiled with direct linking will not be affected by var redefinition.
  Use ^:redef (or ^:dynamic) on a var to prevent direct linking and allow redefinition.
See https://clojure.org/reference/compilation for more information.

    Added in Clojure version 1.4


*data-readers*

dynamic var

    
Map from reader tag symbols to data reader Vars.

When Clojure starts, it searches for files named 'data_readers.clj'
and 'data_readers.cljc' at the root of the classpath. Each such file
must contain a literal map of symbols, like this:

    {foo/bar my.project.foo/bar
     foo/baz my.project/baz}

The first symbol in each pair is a tag that will be recognized by
the Clojure reader. The second symbol in the pair is the
fully-qualified name of a Var which will be invoked by the reader to
parse the form following the tag. For example, given the
data_readers.clj file above, the Clojure reader would parse this
form:

    #foo/bar [1 2 3]

by invoking the Var #'my.project.foo/bar on the vector [1 2 3]. The
data reader function is invoked on the form AFTER it has been read
as a normal Clojure data structure by the reader.

Reader tags without namespace qualifiers are reserved for
Clojure. Default reader tags are defined in
clojure.core/default-data-readers but may be overridden in
data_readers.clj, data_readers.cljc, or by rebinding this Var.

    Added in Clojure version 1.4
Source


*default-data-reader-fn*

dynamic var

    
When no data reader is found for a tag and *default-data-reader-fn*
is non-nil, it will be called with two arguments,
the tag and the value.  If *default-data-reader-fn* is nil (the
default), an exception will be thrown for the unknown tag.

    Added in Clojure version 1.5

*e

dynamic var

    
bound in a repl thread to the most recent exception caught by the repl

    Added in Clojure version 1.0

*err*

var

    
A java.io.Writer object representing standard error for print operations.

Defaults to System/err, wrapped in a PrintWriter

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*file*

var

    
The path of the file being evaluated, as a String.

When there is no file, e.g. in the REPL, the value is not defined.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*flush-on-newline*

var

    
When set to true, output will be flushed whenever a newline is printed.

Defaults to true.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*in*

var

    
A java.io.Reader object representing standard input for read operations.

Defaults to System/in, wrapped in a LineNumberingPushbackReader

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*ns*

var

    
A clojure.lang.Namespace object representing the current namespace.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*out*

var

    
A java.io.Writer object representing standard output for print operations.

Defaults to System/out, wrapped in an OutputStreamWriter

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*print-dup*

var

    
When set to logical true, objects will be printed in a way that preserves
their type when read in later.

Defaults to false.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*print-length*

dynamic var

    
*print-length* controls how many items of each collection the
printer will print. If it is bound to logical false, there is no
limit. Otherwise, it must be bound to an integer indicating the maximum
number of items of each collection to print. If a collection contains
more items, the printer will print items up to the limit followed by
'...' to represent the remaining items. The root binding is nil
indicating no limit.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0
Source


*print-level*

dynamic var

    
*print-level* controls how many levels deep the printer will
print nested objects. If it is bound to logical false, there is no
limit. Otherwise, it must be bound to an integer indicating the maximum
level to print. Each argument to print is at level 0; if an argument is a
collection, its items are at level 1; and so on. If an object is a
collection and is at a level greater than or equal to the value bound to
*print-level*, the printer prints '#' to represent it. The root binding
is nil indicating no limit.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0
Source


*print-meta*

var

    
If set to logical true, when printing an object, its metadata will also
be printed in a form that can be read back by the reader.

Defaults to false.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*print-namespace-maps*

dynamic var

    
*print-namespace-maps* controls whether the printer will print
namespace map literal syntax. It defaults to false, but the REPL binds
to true.

    Added in Clojure version 1.9
Source


*print-readably*

var

    
When set to logical false, strings and characters will be printed with
non-alphanumeric characters converted to the appropriate escape sequences.

Defaults to true

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*read-eval*

var

    
Defaults to true (or value specified by system property, see below)
***This setting implies that the full power of the reader is in play,
including syntax that can cause code to execute. It should never be
used with untrusted sources. See also: clojure.edn/read.***

When set to logical false in the thread-local binding,
the eval reader (#=) and record/type literal syntax are disabled in read/load.
Example (will fail): (binding [*read-eval* false] (read-string "#=(* 2 21)"))

The default binding can be controlled by the system property
'clojure.read.eval' System properties can be set on the command line
like this:

java -Dclojure.read.eval=false ...

The system property can also be set to 'unknown' via
-Dclojure.read.eval=unknown, in which case the default binding
is :unknown and all reads will fail in contexts where *read-eval*
has not been explicitly bound to either true or false. This setting
can be a useful diagnostic tool to ensure that all of your reads
occur in considered contexts. You can also accomplish this in a
particular scope by binding *read-eval* to :unknown

    Added in Clojure version 1.0


*unchecked-math*

var

    
While bound to true, compilations of +, -, *, inc, dec and the
coercions will be done without overflow checks. While bound
to :warn-on-boxed, same behavior as true, and a warning is emitted
when compilation uses boxed math. Default: false.

    Added in Clojure version 1.3


*warn-on-reflection*

var

    
When set to true, the compiler will emit warnings when reflection is
needed to resolve Java method calls or field accesses.

Defaults to false.

add-tap

function
Usage: (add-tap f)
adds f, a fn of one argument, to the tap set. This function will be called with anything sent via tap>.

but blocking indefinitely may cause tap values to be dropped.
Remember f in order to remove-tap

    Added in Clojure version 1.10
Source


add-watch

function
Usage: (add-watch reference key fn)
Adds a watch function to an agent/atom/var/ref reference. The watch
fn must be a fn of 4 args: a key, the reference, its old-state, its
new-state. Whenever the reference's state might have been changed,
any registered watches will have their functions called. The watch fn
will be called synchronously, on the agent's thread if an agent,
before any pending sends if agent or ref. Note that an atom's or
ref's state may have changed again prior to the fn call, so use
old/new-state rather than derefing the reference. Note also that watch
fns may be called from multiple threads simultaneously. Var watchers
are triggered only by root binding changes, not thread-local
set!s. Keys must be unique per reference, and can be used to remove
the watch with remove-watch, but are otherwise considered opaque by
the watch mechanism.

agent

function
Usage: (agent state & options)
Creates and returns an agent with an initial value of state and
zero or more options (in any order):

:meta metadata-map

:validator validate-fn

:error-handler handler-fn

:error-mode mode-keyword

If metadata-map is supplied, it will become the metadata on the
agent. validate-fn must be nil or a side-effect-free fn of one
argument, which will be passed the intended new state on any state
change. If the new state is unacceptable, the validate-fn should
return false or throw an exception.  handler-fn is called if an
action throws an exception or if validate-fn rejects a new state --
see set-error-handler! for details.  The mode-keyword may be either
:continue (the default if an error-handler is given) or :fail (the
default if no error-handler is given) -- see set-error-mode! for
details.

case

macro
Usage: (case e & clauses)
Takes an expression, and a set of clauses.

Each clause can take the form of either:

test-constant result-expr

(test-constant1 ... test-constantN)  result-expr

The test-constants are not evaluated. They must be compile-time
literals, and need not be quoted.  If the expression is equal to a
test-constant, the corresponding result-expr is returned. A single
default expression can follow the clauses, and its value will be
returned if no clause matches. If no default expression is provided
and no clause matches, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Unlike cond and condp, case does a constant-time dispatch, the
clauses are not considered sequentially.  All manner of constant
expressions are acceptable in case, including numbers, strings,
symbols, keywords, and (Clojure) composites thereof. Note that since
lists are used to group multiple constants that map to the same
expression, a vector can be used to match a list if needed. The
test-constants need not be all of the same type.

condp

macro
Usage: (condp pred expr & clauses)
Takes a binary predicate, an expression, and a set of clauses.
Each clause can take the form of either:

test-expr result-expr

test-expr :>> result-fn

Note :>> is an ordinary keyword.

For each clause, (pred test-expr expr) is evaluated. If it returns

result-expr is returned, if a ternary clause matches, its result-fn,
which must be a unary function, is called with the result of the
predicate as its argument, the result of that call being the return
value of condp. A single default expression can follow the clauses,
and its value will be returned if no clause matches. If no default
expression is provided and no clause matches, an
IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

defmulti

macro
Usage: (defmulti name docstring? attr-map? dispatch-fn & options)
Creates a new multimethod with the associated dispatch function.

Options are key-value pairs and may be one of:

:default

The default dispatch value, defaults to :default

:hierarchy

The value used for hierarchical dispatch (e.g. ::square is-a ::shape)

Hierarchies are type-like relationships that do not depend upon type
inheritance. By default Clojure's multimethods dispatch off of a
global hierarchy map.  However, a hierarchy relationship can be
created with the derive function used to augment the root ancestor
created with make-hierarchy.

Multimethods expect the value of the hierarchy option to be supplied as
a reference type e.g. a var (i.e. via the Var-quote dispatch macro #'
or the var special form).

defprotocol

macro
Usage: (defprotocol name & opts+sigs)
A protocol is a named set of named methods and their signatures:
(defprotocol AProtocolName

  ;optional doc string
  "A doc string for AProtocol abstraction"

 ;options
 :extend-via-metadata true

;method signatures
  (bar [this a b] "bar docs")
  (baz [this a] [this a b] [this a b c] "baz docs"))

No implementations are provided. Docs can be specified for the
protocol overall and for each method. The above yields a set of
polymorphic functions and a protocol object. All are
namespace-qualified by the ns enclosing the definition The resulting
functions dispatch on the type of their first argument, which is
required and corresponds to the implicit target object ('this' in 
Java parlance). defprotocol is dynamic, has no special compile-time 
effect, and defines no new types or classes. Implementations of 
the protocol methods can be provided using extend.

When :extend-via-metadata is true, values can extend protocols by
adding metadata where keys are fully-qualified protocol function
symbols and values are function implementations. Protocol
implementations are checked first for direct definitions (defrecord,
deftype, reify), then metadata definitions, then external
extensions (extend, extend-type, extend-protocol)

defprotocol will automatically generate a corresponding interface,
with the same name as the protocol, i.e. given a protocol:
my.ns/Protocol, an interface: my.ns.Protocol. The interface will
have methods corresponding to the protocol functions, and the
protocol will automatically work with instances of the interface.

Note that you should not use this interface with deftype or
reify, as they support the protocol directly:

(defprotocol P 
  (foo [this]) 
  (bar-me [this] [this y]))

(deftype Foo [a b c] 
 P
  (foo [this] a)
  (bar-me [this] b)
  (bar-me [this y] (+ c y)))

(bar-me (Foo. 1 2 3) 42)
=> 45

(foo 
  (let [x 42]
    (reify P 
      (foo [this] 17)
      (bar-me [this] x)
      (bar-me [this y] x))))
=> 17

defrecord

macro
Usage: (defrecord name [& fields] & opts+specs)
(defrecord name [fields*]  options* specs*)

Options are expressed as sequential keywords and arguments (in any order).

Supported options:
:load-ns - if true, importing the record class will cause the
           namespace in which the record was defined to be loaded.
           Defaults to false.

Each spec consists of a protocol or interface name followed by zero
or more method bodies:

protocol-or-interface-or-Object
(methodName [args*] body)*

Dynamically generates compiled bytecode for class with the given
name, in a package with the same name as the current namespace, the
given fields, and, optionally, methods for protocols and/or
interfaces.

The class will have the (immutable) fields named by
fields, which can have type hints. Protocols/interfaces and methods
are optional. The only methods that can be supplied are those
declared in the protocols/interfaces.  Note that method bodies are
not closures, the local environment includes only the named fields,
and those fields can be accessed directly.

Method definitions take the form:

(methodname [args*] body)

The argument and return types can be hinted on the arg and
methodname symbols. If not supplied, they will be inferred, so type
hints should be reserved for disambiguation.

Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired
protocol(s) and interface(s). You can also define overrides for
methods of Object. Note that a parameter must be supplied to
correspond to the target object ('this' in Java parlance). Thus
methods for interfaces will take one more argument than do the
interface declarations. Note also that recur calls to the method
head should *not* pass the target object, it will be supplied
automatically and can not be substituted.

In the method bodies, the (unqualified) name can be used to name the
class (for calls to new, instance? etc).

The class will have implementations of several (clojure.lang)
interfaces generated automatically: IObj (metadata support) and
IPersistentMap, and all of their superinterfaces.

In addition, defrecord will define type-and-value-based =,
and will defined Java .hashCode and .equals consistent with the
contract for java.util.Map.

When AOT compiling, generates compiled bytecode for a class with the
given name (a symbol), prepends the current ns as the package, and
writes the .class file to the *compile-path* directory.

Two constructors will be defined, one taking the designated fields
followed by a metadata map (nil for none) and an extension field
map (nil for none), and one taking only the fields (using nil for
meta and extension fields). Note that the field names __meta,
__extmap, __hash and __hasheq are currently reserved and should not
be used when defining your own records.

Given (defrecord TypeName ...), two factory functions will be
defined: ->TypeName, taking positional parameters for the fields,
and map->TypeName, taking a map of keywords to field values.

    Added in Clojure version 1.0

deftype

macro
Usage: (deftype name [& fields] & opts+specs)
(deftype name [fields*]  options* specs*)

Options are expressed as sequential keywords and arguments (in any order).

Supported options:
:load-ns - if true, importing the type class will cause the
           namespace in which the type was defined to be loaded.
           Defaults to false.

Each spec consists of a protocol or interface name followed by zero
or more method bodies:

protocol-or-interface-or-Object
(methodName [args*] body)*

Dynamically generates compiled bytecode for class with the given
name, in a package with the same name as the current namespace, the
given fields, and, optionally, methods for protocols and/or
interfaces. 

The class will have the (by default, immutable) fields named by
fields, which can have type hints. Protocols/interfaces and methods
are optional. The only methods that can be supplied are those
declared in the protocols/interfaces.  Note that method bodies are
not closures, the local environment includes only the named fields,
and those fields can be accessed directly. Fields can be qualified
with the metadata :volatile-mutable true or :unsynchronized-mutable
true, at which point (set! afield aval) will be supported in method
bodies. Note well that mutable fields are extremely difficult to use
correctly, and are present only to facilitate the building of higher
level constructs, such as Clojure's reference types, in Clojure
itself. They are for experts only - if the semantics and
implications of :volatile-mutable or :unsynchronized-mutable are not
immediately apparent to you, you should not be using them.

Method definitions take the form:

(methodname [args*] body)

The argument and return types can be hinted on the arg and
methodname symbols. If not supplied, they will be inferred, so type
hints should be reserved for disambiguation.

Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired
protocol(s) and interface(s). You can also define overrides for
methods of Object. Note that a parameter must be supplied to

that the field names __meta, __extmap, __hash and __hasheq are currently
reserved and should not be used when defining your own types.

Given (deftype TypeName ...), a factory function called ->TypeName
will be defined, taking positional parameters for the fields

most-recently-committed value of ref. When applied to a var, agent
or atom, returns its current state. When applied to a delay, forces
it if not already forced. When applied to a future, will block if
computation not complete. When applied to a promise, will block
until a value is delivered.  The variant taking a timeout can be
used for blocking references (futures and promises), and will return
timeout-val if the timeout (in milliseconds) is reached before a
value is available. See also - realized?.

extend

function
Usage: (extend atype & proto+mmaps)
Implementations of protocol methods can be provided using the extend construct:

 (extend AType
   AProtocol
    {:foo an-existing-fn
     :bar (fn [a b] ...)
     :baz (fn ([a]...) ([a b] ...)...)}
   BProtocol 
     {...} 
   ...)

 extend takes a type/class (or interface, see below), and one or more
 protocol + method map pairs. It will extend the polymorphism of the
 protocol's methods to call the supplied methods when an AType is
 provided as the first argument. 

 Method maps are maps of the keyword-ized method names to ordinary
 fns. This facilitates easy reuse of existing fns and fn maps, for
 code reuse/mixins without derivation or composition. You can extend
 an interface to a protocol. This is primarily to facilitate interop
 with the host (e.g. Java) but opens the door to incidental multiple
 inheritance of implementation since a class can inherit from more
 than one interface, both of which extend the protocol. It is TBD how
 to specify which impl to use. You can extend a protocol on nil.

 If you are supplying the definitions explicitly (i.e. not reusing
 exsting functions or mixin maps), you may find it more convenient to
 use the extend-type or extend-protocol macros.

 Note that multiple independent extend clauses can exist for the same
 type, not all protocols need be defined in a single extend call.

extend-protocol

macro
Usage: (extend-protocol p & specs)
Useful when you want to provide several implementations of the same
protocol all at once. Takes a single protocol and the implementation
of that protocol for one or more types. Expands into calls to
extend-type:

(extend-protocol Protocol
  AType
    (foo [x] ...)
    (bar [x y] ...)
  BType
    (foo [x] ...)
    (bar [x y] ...)
  AClass
    (foo [x] ...)
    (bar [x y] ...)
  nil
    (foo [x] ...)
    (bar [x y] ...))

expands into:

(do
 (clojure.core/extend-type AType Protocol 
   (foo [x] ...) 
   (bar [x y] ...))
 (clojure.core/extend-type BType Protocol 
   (foo [x] ...)

extend-type

macro
Usage: (extend-type t & specs)
A macro that expands into an extend call. Useful when you are
supplying the definitions explicitly inline, extend-type
automatically creates the maps required by extend.  Propagates the
class as a type hint on the first argument of all fns.

(extend-type MyType 
  Countable
    (cnt [c] ...)
  Foo
    (bar [x y] ...)
    (baz ([x] ...) ([x y & zs] ...)))

expands into:

gen-class

macro
Usage: (gen-class & options)
When compiling, generates compiled bytecode for a class with the
given package-qualified :name (which, as all names in these
parameters, can be a string or symbol), and writes the .class file
to the *compile-path* directory.  When not compiling, does
nothing. The gen-class construct contains no implementation, as the
implementation will be dynamically sought by the generated class in
functions in an implementing Clojure namespace. Given a generated
class org.mydomain.MyClass with a method named mymethod, gen-class
will generate an implementation that looks for a function named by 
(str prefix mymethod) (default prefix: "-") in a
Clojure namespace specified by :impl-ns
(defaults to the current namespace). All inherited methods,
generated methods, and init and main functions (see :methods, :init,
and :main below) will be found similarly prefixed. By default, the
static initializer for the generated class will attempt to load the
Clojure support code for the class as a resource from the classpath,
e.g. in the example case, ``org/mydomain/MyClass__init.class``. This
behavior can be controlled by :load-impl-ns

Note that methods with a maximum of 18 parameters are supported.

In all subsequent sections taking types, the primitive types can be
referred to by their Java names (int, float etc), and classes in the
java.lang package can be used without a package qualifier. All other
classes must be fully qualified.

Options should be a set of key/value pairs, all except for :name are optional:

:name aname

The package-qualified name of the class to be generated

:extends aclass

Specifies the superclass, the non-private methods of which will be
overridden by the class. If not provided, defaults to Object.

:implements [interface ...]

One or more interfaces, the methods of which will be implemented by the class.

:init name

If supplied, names a function that will be called with the arguments
to the constructor. Must return [ [superclass-constructor-args] state] 
If not supplied, the constructor args are passed directly to
the superclass constructor and the state will be nil

:constructors {[param-types] [super-param-types], ...}

By default, constructors are created for the generated class which
match the signature(s) of the constructors for the superclass. This
parameter may be used to explicitly specify constructors, each entry
providing a mapping from a constructor signature to a superclass
constructor signature. When you supply this, you must supply an :init
specifier. 

:post-init name

If supplied, names a function that will be called with the object as
the first argument, followed by the arguments to the constructor.
It will be called every time an object of this class is created,
immediately after all the inherited constructors have completed.
Its return value is ignored.

:methods [ [name [param-types] return-type], ...]

The generated class automatically defines all of the non-private
methods of its superclasses/interfaces. This parameter can be used
to specify the signatures of additional methods of the generated
class. Static methods can be specified with ^{:static true} in the
signature's metadata. Do not repeat superclass/interface signatures
here.

:main boolean

If supplied and true, a static public main function will be generated. It will
pass each string of the String[] argument as a separate argument to
a function called (str prefix main).

:factory name

If supplied, a (set of) public static factory function(s) will be
created with the given name, and the same signature(s) as the
constructor(s).

:state name

If supplied, a public final instance field with the given name will be
created. You must supply an :init function in order to provide a
value for the state. Note that, though final, the state can be a ref
or agent, supporting the creation of Java objects with transactional
or asynchronous mutation semantics.

:exposes {protected-field-name {:get name :set name}, ...}

Since the implementations of the methods of the generated class
occur in Clojure functions, they have no access to the inherited
protected fields of the superclass. This parameter can be used to
generate public getter/setter methods exposing the protected field(s)
for use in the implementation.

:exposes-methods {super-method-name exposed-name, ...}

It is sometimes necessary to call the superclass' implementation of an
overridden method.  Those methods may be exposed and referred in 
the new method implementation by a local name.

:prefix string

Default: "-" Methods called e.g. Foo will be looked up in vars called
prefixFoo in the implementing ns.

:impl-ns name

Default: the name of the current ns. Implementations of methods will be 
looked up in this namespace.

:load-impl-ns boolean

Default: true. Causes the static initializer for the generated class
to reference the load code for the implementing namespace. Should be
true when implementing-ns is the default, false if you intend to
load the code via some other method.

gen-interface

macro
Usage: (gen-interface & options)
When compiling, generates compiled bytecode for an interface with
 the given package-qualified :name (which, as all names in these
 parameters, can be a string or symbol), and writes the .class file
 to the *compile-path* directory.  When not compiling, does nothing.

 In all subsequent sections taking types, the primitive types can be
 referred to by their Java names (int, float etc), and classes in the
 java.lang package can be used without a package qualifier. All other
 classes must be fully qualified.

 Options should be a set of key/value pairs, all except for :name are
 optional:

 :name aname

 The package-qualified name of the class to be generated

 :extends [interface ...]

 One or more interfaces, which will be extended by this interface.

 :methods [ [name [param-types] return-type], ...]

 This parameter is used to specify the signatures of the methods of
 the generated interface.  Do not repeat superinterface signatures
 here.

iteration

function
Usage: (iteration step & {:keys [somef vf kf initk], :or {vf identity, kf identity, somef some?, initk nil}})
Creates a seqable/reducible via repeated calls to step,
a function of some (continuation token) 'k'. The first call to step
will be passed initk, returning 'ret'. Iff (somef ret) is true,
(vf ret) will be included in the iteration, else iteration will
terminate and vf/kf will not be called. If (kf ret) is non-nil it
will be passed to the next step call, else iteration will terminate.

This can be used e.g. to consume APIs that return paginated or batched data.

 step - (possibly impure) fn of 'k' -> 'ret'

 :somef - fn of 'ret' -> logical true/false, default 'some?'
 :vf - fn of 'ret' -> 'v', a value produced by the iteration, default 'identity'
 :kf - fn of 'ret' -> 'next-k' or nil (signaling 'do not continue'), default 'identity'
 :initk - the first value passed to step, default 'nil'

It is presumed that step with non-initk is unreproducible/non-idempotent.
If step with initk is unreproducible it is on the consumer to not consume twice.

proxy

macro
Usage: (proxy class-and-interfaces args & fs)
class-and-interfaces - a vector of class names

args - a (possibly empty) vector of arguments to the superclass
constructor.

f => (name [params*] body) or
(name ([params*] body) ([params+] body) ...)

Expands to code which creates a instance of a proxy class that
implements the named class/interface(s) by calling the supplied
fns. A single class, if provided, must be first. If not provided it
defaults to Object.

The interfaces names must be valid interface types. If a method fn
is not provided for a class method, the superclass method will be
called. If a method fn is not provided for an interface method, an
UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown should it be
called. Method fns are closures and can capture the environment in
which proxy is called. Each method fn takes an additional implicit
first arg, which is bound to 'this. Note that while method fns can
be provided to override protected methods, they have no other access
to protected members, nor to super, as these capabilities cannot be
proxied.

ref

function
Usage: (ref x)
       (ref x & options)
Creates and returns a Ref with an initial value of x and zero or
more options (in any order):

:meta metadata-map

:validator validate-fn

:min-history (default 0)
:max-history (default 10)

If metadata-map is supplied, it will become the metadata on the
ref. validate-fn must be nil or a side-effect-free fn of one
argument, which will be passed the intended new state on any state
change. If the new state is unacceptable, the validate-fn should
return false or throw an exception. validate-fn will be called on
transaction commit, when all refs have their final values.

Normally refs accumulate history dynamically as needed to deal with
read demands. If you know in advance you will need history you can
set :min-history to ensure it will be available when first needed (instead
of after a read fault). History is limited, and the limit can be set
with :max-history.

refers to all public vars of ns, subject to filters.
filters can include at most one each of:

:exclude list-of-symbols
:only list-of-symbols
:rename map-of-fromsymbol-tosymbol

For each public interned var in the namespace named by the symbol,
adds a mapping from the name of the var to the var to the current
namespace.  Throws an exception if name is already mapped to
something else in the current namespace. Filters can be used to
select a subset, via inclusion or exclusion, or to provide a mapping
to a symbol different from the var's name, in order to prevent
clashes. Use :use in the ns macro in preference to calling this directly.

reify

macro
Usage: (reify & opts+specs)
reify creates an object implementing a protocol or interface.
 reify is a macro with the following structure:

(reify options* specs*)
 
 Currently there are no options.

 Each spec consists of the protocol or interface name followed by zero
 or more method bodies:

 protocol-or-interface-or-Object
 (methodName [args+] body)*

 Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired
 protocol(s) and interface(s). You can also define overrides for
 methods of Object. Note that the first parameter must be supplied to
 correspond to the target object ('this' in Java parlance). Thus
 methods for interfaces will take one more argument than do the
 interface declarations.  Note also that recur calls to the method
 head should *not* pass the target object, it will be supplied
 automatically and can not be substituted.

 The return type can be indicated by a type hint on the method name,
 and arg types can be indicated by a type hint on arg names. If you
 leave out all hints, reify will try to match on same name/arity
 method in the protocol(s)/interface(s) - this is preferred. If you
 supply any hints at all, no inference is done, so all hints (or
 default of Object) must be correct, for both arguments and return
 type. If a method is overloaded in a protocol/interface, multiple
 independent method definitions must be supplied.  If overloaded with
 same arity in an interface you must specify complete hints to
 disambiguate - a missing hint implies Object.

 recur works to method heads The method bodies of reify are lexical
 closures, and can refer to the surrounding local scope:
 
 (str (let [f "foo"] 
      (reify Object 
        (toString [this] f))))
 == "foo"

 (seq (let [f "foo"] 
      (reify clojure.lang.Seqable 
        (seq [this] (seq f)))))
 == (\f \o \o))
 
 reify always implements clojure.lang.IObj and transfers meta
 data of the form to the created object.
 
 (meta ^{:k :v} (reify Object (toString [this] "foo")))
 == {:k :v}

require

function
Usage: (require & args)
Loads libs, skipping any that are already loaded. Each argument is
either a libspec that identifies a lib, a prefix list that identifies
multiple libs whose names share a common prefix, or a flag that modifies
how all the identified libs are loaded. Use :require in the ns macro
in preference to calling this directly.

Libs

A 'lib' is a named set of resources in classpath whose contents define a
library of Clojure code. Lib names are symbols and each lib is associated
with a Clojure namespace and a Java package that share its name. A lib's
name also locates its root directory within classpath using Java's
package name to classpath-relative path mapping. All resources in a lib
should be contained in the directory structure under its root directory.
All definitions a lib makes should be in its associated namespace.

'require loads a lib by loading its root resource. The root resource path
is derived from the lib name in the following manner:
Consider a lib named by the symbol 'x.y.z; it has the root directory
<classpath>/x/y/, and its root resource is <classpath>/x/y/z.clj, or
<classpath>/x/y/z.cljc if <classpath>/x/y/z.clj does not exist. The
root resource should contain code to create the lib's
namespace (usually by using the ns macro) and load any additional
lib resources.

Libspecs

A libspec is a lib name or a vector containing a lib name followed by
options expressed as sequential keywords and arguments.

Recognized options:
:as takes a symbol as its argument and makes that symbol an alias to the
  lib's namespace in the current namespace.
:as-alias takes a symbol as its argument and aliases like :as, however
  the lib will not be loaded. If the lib has not been loaded, a new
  empty namespace will be created (as with create-ns).
:refer takes a list of symbols to refer from the namespace or the :all
  keyword to bring in all public vars.

Prefix Lists

It's common for Clojure code to depend on several libs whose names have
the same prefix. When specifying libs, prefix lists can be used to reduce
repetition. A prefix list contains the shared prefix followed by libspecs
with the shared prefix removed from the lib names. After removing the
prefix, the names that remain must not contain any periods.

Flags

A flag is a keyword.
Recognized flags: :reload, :reload-all, :verbose
:reload forces loading of all the identified libs even if they are
  already loaded (has no effect on libspecs using :as-alias)
:reload-all implies :reload and also forces loading of all libs that the
  identified libs directly or indirectly load via require or use
  (has no effect on libspecs using :as-alias)
:verbose triggers printing information about each load, alias, and refer

Example:

The following would load the libraries clojure.zip and clojure.set
abbreviated as 's'.

(require '(clojure zip [set :as s]))

set-error-handler!

function
Usage: (set-error-handler! a handler-fn)
Sets the error-handler of agent a to handler-fn.  If an action
being run by the agent throws an exception or doesn't pass the
validator fn, handler-fn will be called with two arguments: the
agent and the exception.

    Added in Clojure version 1.2

set-error-mode!

function
Usage: (set-error-mode! a mode-keyword)
Sets the error-mode of agent a to mode-keyword, which must be
either :fail or :continue.  If an action being run by the agent
throws an exception or doesn't pass the validator fn, an
error-handler may be called (see set-error-handler!), after which,
if the mode is :continue, the agent will continue as if neither the
action that caused the error nor the error itself ever happened.

If the mode is :fail, the agent will become failed and will stop
accepting new 'send' and 'send-off' actions, and any previously
queued actions will be held until a 'restart-agent'.  Deref will
still work, returning the state of the agent before the error.

set-validator!

function
Usage: (set-validator! iref validator-fn)
Sets the validator-fn for a var/ref/agent/atom. validator-fn must be nil or a
side-effect-free fn of one argument, which will be passed the intended
new state on any state change. If the new state is unacceptable, the
validator-fn should return false or throw an exception. If the current state (root
value if var) is not acceptable to the new validator, an exception
will be thrown and the validator will not be changed.

cat

function
Usage: (cat)
       (cat ctor)

A high-performance combining fn that yields the catenation of the
reduced values. The result is reducible, foldable, seqable and
counted, providing the identity collections are reducible, seqable
and counted. The single argument version will build a combining fn
with the supplied identity constructor. Tests for identity
with (zero? (count x)). See also foldcat.

fold

function
Usage: (fold reducef coll)
       (fold combinef reducef coll)

Reduces a collection using a (potentially parallel) reduce-combine
strategy. The collection is partitioned into groups of approximately
n (default 512), each of which is reduced with reducef (with a seed
value obtained by calling (combinef) with no arguments). The results
of these reductions are then reduced with combinef (default
reducef). combinef must be associative, and, when called with no
arguments, (combinef) must produce its identity element. These
operations may be performed in parallel, but the results will
preserve order.

clojure.core.server

Socket server support

Public Variables and Functions



io-prepl

function
Usage: (io-prepl & {:keys [valf], :or {valf pr-str}})
prepl bound to *in* and *out*, suitable for use with e.g. server/repl (socket-repl).
:ret and :tap vals will be processed by valf, a fn of one argument
or a symbol naming same (default pr-str)

Alpha, subject to change.

    Added in Clojure version 1.10
Source


prepl

function
Usage: (prepl in-reader out-fn & {:keys [stdin]})
a REPL with structured output (for programs)
reads forms to eval from in-reader (a LineNumberingPushbackReader)
Closing the input or passing the form :repl/quit will cause it to return

Calls out-fn with data, one of:
{:tag :ret
 :val val ;;eval result, or Throwable->map data if exception thrown
 :ns ns-name-string
 :ms long ;;eval time in milliseconds
 :form string ;;iff successfully read
 :exception true ;;iff exception thrown
}
{:tag :out
 :val string} ;chars from during-eval *out*
{:tag :err
 :val string} ;chars from during-eval *err*
{:tag :tap
 :val val} ;values from tap>

You might get more than one :out or :err per eval, but exactly one :ret
tap output can happen at any time (i.e. between evals)

Usage: (remote-prepl host port in-reader out-fn & {:keys [valf readf], :or {valf read-string, readf (fn* [p1__6786# p2__6787#] (read p1__6786# false p2__6787#))}})
Implements a prepl on in-reader and out-fn by forwarding to a
remote [io-]prepl over a socket.  Messages will be read by readf, a
fn of a LineNumberingPushbackReader and EOF value or a symbol naming
same (default #(read %1 false %2)),
:ret and :tap vals will be processed by valf, a fn of one argument
or a symbol naming same (default read-string). If that function
throws, :val will be unprocessed.
