*inferior-lisp*
bufferSLIME internally uses the comint
package to start Lisp
processes. This has a few user-visible consequences, some good and
some not-so-terribly. To avoid confusion it is useful to understand
the interactions.
The buffer *inferior-lisp*
contains the Lisp process's own
top-level. This direct access to Lisp is useful for troubleshooting,
and some degree of SLIME integration is available using the
inferior-slime-mode
. However, in normal use we recommend using
the fully-integrated SLIME REPL (see REPL) and ignoring the
*inferior-lisp*
buffer.
