Method Detail

eval

public java.lang.String eval(java.lang.String lispCode)

Synchronous implementation of the corresponding method from LispInterpreter.

Specified by:

eval in interface LispInterpreter

Following copied from interface: jacol.LispInterpreter

Parameters:

lispCode - a String representing a lisp statement.

Returns:

if the lisp interpreter is synchronous, a String will be returned containing the response from the lisp server. Otherwise null will be returned.

exit

public void exit()

Description copied from interface: LispInterpreter

Instruct JACOL to exit. This should be the last thing called from the java program. If it is omitted, JACOL will continue running since there are other threads. If System.exit() is called directly, the lisp server will continue running as an orphaned process.

Specified by:

exit in interface LispInterpreter
