# lisp-invocation

lisp-invocation is a small library for starting Lisp processes from Common Lisp.

lisp-invocation actually only computes the proper command-line invocations;

to actually run a process, you will use

[uiop:run-program](http://cliki.net/uiop),

[inferior-shell:run](http://cliki.net/inferior-shell), or

[external-program:start](http://cliki.net/external-program).

## Usage

A simple example: Starting an SBCL process, running some code and quitting.

Here we use [uiop:run-program](http://cliki.net/uiop) to run the process

and extract its output.

    (let ((impl :sbcl))

      (uiop:run-program

       (lisp-invocation:lisp-invocation-arglist

        :implementation-type impl

        :eval (format nil "(progn (format t ~S '~S) ~A)"

                      "~{~31R~^ ~}~%" '(595756 9556552524 643802 496307950)

                      (lisp-invocation:quit-form :code 0 :implementation-type impl)))

       :output :string))

## Requirements

`lisp-invocation` depends on ASDF 3.1.2 or later for its package-inferred-system,

but you'd want it 3.1.2 anyway for its enhanced uiop:run-program.
