find-all-symbols string → symbols

string — a string designator.

symbols — a list of symbols.

find-all-symbols searches every registered package for symbols that have a name that is the same (under string=) as string. A list of all such symbols is returned. Whether or how the list is ordered is implementation-dependent.

 (find-all-symbols 'car) 
→ (CAR) 
or → (CAR VEHICLES:CAR) 
or → (VEHICLES:CAR CAR) 
 (intern "CAR" (make-package 'temp :use nil)) → TEMP::CAR, NIL 
 (find-all-symbols 'car) 
→ (TEMP::CAR CAR) 
or → (CAR TEMP::CAR) 
or → (TEMP::CAR CAR VEHICLES:CAR) 
or → (CAR TEMP::CAR VEHICLES:CAR)
