getq

getq( 
sl_id 
S_name 
) 
=> g_result / nil
sl_id->S_name 
=> g_result / nil

Returns the value of a property in a property list. Same as get except that the second argument is not evaluated. This is a syntax form.

getq corresponds to -> as an LHS infix operator. So, obj->prop is equivalent to getq(obj prop).

Used in conjunction with putprop, where putprop stores the property and getq retrieves it.

sl_id	Symbol or disembodied property list.
S_name	Name of the property you want the value of.

g_result	Value of S_name in the sl_id property list.
`nil`	The named property does not exist.

putprop( 'chip 8 'pins ) 
=> 8

Assigns the property pins to a value of 8 to the symbol chip.

getq( 'chip pins )           
=> 8

chip.pins                    
=> 8

chip1 = list(nil 'pins 10)   
=> (nil pins 10)

chip1->pins                  
=> 10
