Function UNEXPORT

Syntax:

unexport symbols `&optional` package => t

Arguments and Values:

symbols---a designator for a list of symbols.

package---a package designator. The default is the current package.

Description:

unexport reverts external symbols in package to internal status; it undoes the effect of export.

unexport works only on symbols present in package, switching them back to internal status. If unexport is given a symbol that is already accessible as an internal symbol in package, it does nothing.

Examples:

     (in-package "COMMON-LISP-USER") =>  #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP-USER">
     (export (intern "CONTRABAND" (make-package 'temp)) 'temp) =>  T
     (find-symbol "CONTRABAND") =>  NIL, NIL
     (use-package 'temp) =>  T
     (find-symbol "CONTRABAND") =>  CONTRABAND, :INHERITED
     (unexport 'contraband 'temp) =>  T
     (find-symbol "CONTRABAND") =>  NIL, NIL

Side Effects:

Package system is modified.

Affected By:

Current state of the package system.

Exceptional Situations:

If unexport is given a symbol not accessible in package at all, an error of type package-error is signaled.

The consequences are undefined if package is the `KEYWORD` package or the `COMMON-LISP` package.
