I don't think David is having trouble finding the documentation for meta. He's complaining that the output of (doc meta) does not tell you that you need to use (meta (var meta)) instead of (meta 'meta) or (meta meta). By the way, David: The following URLs show that ^#'meta is equivalent to (meta (var meta)): http://clojure.org/special_forms#var http://clojure.org/metadata http://clojure.org/reader See also macroexpand-1: user=> (macroexpand-1 '#'meta) (var meta) user=> (macroexpand-1 '^#'meta) (clojure.core/meta (var meta)) > user=> (find-doc "metadata") > ... > ------------------------- > clojure.core/meta > ([obj]) > Returns the metadata of obj, returns nil if there is no metadata. > ------------------------- > ... > user=> (doc clojure.core/meta) > ------------------------- > clojure.core/meta > ([obj]) > Returns the metadata of obj, returns nil if there is no metadata. > nil > user=> The above is not necessary: user=> (doc meta) ------------------------- clojure.core/meta ([obj]) Returns the metadata of obj, returns nil if there is no metadata. nil user=> -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
