Subject: Refer to List of Arguments in Emacs Lisp Function
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:02:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKu-7WwKSdDY_pxL8Z2jcdxJjbRD+9+We7HL=9FhRXr-D9HSOg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I can't find whether there is a possibility to refer to the whole list of
arguments of a function in Emacs Lisp. For example:
(defun move (x y z)
(apply do-move (args))
What I mean by (args) primitive here is a list (x y z). This use case
illustrates usefulness of such a primitive, i.e. forwarding of arguments to
another internal call without a need to rewrite them by hand. (length
(args)) might be useful in some cases too. Is there anything like that in
Emacs Lisp already?
