Description

The execute-actions macro executes, in sequence, the actions on the specified list. If the action-list specified by name-or-list does not exist, then this is handled according to the value of *handle-missing-action-list*. Note that name-or-list is evaluated.

If a user-defined execution function was specified when the action list was defined, then it should accept the following arguments:

( action-list other-args &rest keyword-value-pairs )

Note that other-args is passed as a single list.

If a user-defined execution function was not specified when the action list was defined, then the following default mapping occurs. Each action's data is invoked via apply on other-args:

( apply data other-args )

This behavior is modified by the keyword-value-pairs, thus:

:collect

collect values into list

:and

return t only if all values are t . Return nil immediately if any value is nil

:or

return first non- nil value
