Constructs and returns a list

(vl-list* object[object]...)

Arguments

object

Any LISP object.

Return Values

The vl-list* function is similar to list, but it will place the last object in the final cdr of the result list. If the last argument to vl-list* is an atom, the result is a dotted list. If the last argument is a list, its elements are appended to all previous arguments added to the constructed list. The possible return values from vl-list* are

• An atom, if a single atom object is specified.
• A dotted pair, if all object arguments are atoms.
• A dotted list, if the last argument is an atom and neither of the previous conditions is true.
• A list, if none of the previous statements is true.

Examples
