rplacd

rplacd( 
l_arg1 
l_arg2 
) 
=> l_result

Description

Replaces the tail of a list with the elements of a second list. This function does not create a new list; it alters the input list in the same way as setcdr. This is a destructive operation, meaning that any other reference to the list will also see the changes.

Arguments

l_arg1	List that is modified.
l_arg2	List that replaces the cdr of l_arg1.

Value Returned

l_result

Modified l_arg1 with the cdr of the list l_arg1 replaced with l_arg2.

Examples

x = '(a b c)
rplacd( x '(d e f))  
=> (a d e f)

x                    
=> (a d e f) 

The cdr of x is replaced by the second argument.
