7.9 Users of location information

To find location information for definitions made in the running image or recorded in a tags database or a tags file:

• query for a dspec using find-dspec-locations, or
• query for a name in a given set of namespaces using find-name-locations

The extent of the search is controlled by the value of the variable *active-finders*.

For example, to obtain the locations of the definitions of foo across all dspec namespaces, call

Another example of the use of find-name-locations is the LispWorks Editor tool's Find Definitions tab.
