I'm looking for documentation or an example of how to load a file
into a running Lisp image using Swank. I can do it from within Emacs
and Slime, but I need to be able to do it programmatically.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Patrick

The typical way to bootstrap your way into such things is this.

What does C-c C-l do? Do C-h C-k (describe-key) C-c C-l

Emacs responds with
C-c C-l runs the command slime-load-file, which is an interactive
compiled Lisp function in `slime.el'.

The slime.el is clickable, and takes you to the definition of slime-load-file.

The last line of this function is:

(slime-eval-with-transcript `(swank:load-file ,lisp-filename))

Bang. You're in swank territory.

How is this going to be different from cl:load?

I need to connect to a remote running image and evaluate cl:load
for a particular file on the remote machine. The Swank protocol isn't
documented, unfortunately, but I'm hacking around with it to get it to
do what I want.

The obvious alternative is to spawn a thread and listen on my own
socket for load requests.

Patrick
