lambda

code: subr.el

(defmacro lambda (&rest cdr)

"Return an anonymous function.

Under dynamic binding, a call of the form (lambda ARGS DOCSTRING

INTERACTIVE BODY) is self-quoting; the result of evaluating the

lambda expression is the expression itself. Under lexical

binding, the result is a closure. Regardless, the result is a

function, i.e., it may be stored as the function value of a

ARGS should take the same form as an argument list for a `defun'.

DOCSTRING is an optional documentation string.

If present, it should describe how to call the function.

But documentation strings are usually not useful in nameless functions.

INTERACTIVE should be a call to the function `interactive', which see.

It may also be omitted.

BODY should be a list of Lisp expressions.

(declare (doc-string 2) (indent defun)

(debug (&define lambda-list lambda-doc

def-body)))

;; Note that this definition should not use backquotes; subr.el should not

;; depend on backquote.el.
