Dumping a lisp image in sbcl


The function used in cmucl don't seem to work in sbcl
(extension:save-lisp ..) , and I can't find documentation for
how this works in sbcl. Does someone know how, or know where docs
for this can be found or both?

It got renamed: it's now SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE

* (describe 'sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die)

will show you the (fairly comprehensive) doc string

Thanks, that helped. Is there any other way of finding the
documentation of implementation specific functions and
packages than reading the source of sbcl?

The introspective qualities of lisp are quite strong.  You now know
that SB-EXT names the extension package of SBCL, so to find out all
the public extension symbols, you can do
  * (do-external-symbols (s 'sb-ext) (print s))
which prints out 70-odd symbols.  You can then ask about them; at
random, I'll choose 
  * (describe 'get-bytes-consed)
to get the information
    Return the number of bytes consed since the program began. Typically
