*compile-files*
varSet to true when compiling files, false otherwise.
Added in Clojure version 1.0
*compile-path*
varSpecifies the directory where 'compile' will write out .class files. This directory must be in the classpath for 'compile' to work. Defaults to "classes"
Added in Clojure version 1.0
*compiler-options*
varA map of keys to options. Note, when binding dynamically make sure to merge with previous value. Supported options: :elide-meta - a collection of metadata keys to elide during compilation. :disable-locals-clearing - set to true to disable clearing, useful for using a debugger :direct-linking - set to true to use direct static invocation of functions, rather than vars Note that call sites compiled with direct linking will not be affected by var redefinition. Use ^:redef (or ^:dynamic) on a var to prevent direct linking and allow redefinition. See https://clojure.org/reference/compilation for more information.
Added in Clojure version 1.4
*data-readers*
dynamic varMap from reader tag symbols to data reader Vars. When Clojure starts, it searches for files named 'data_readers.clj' and 'data_readers.cljc' at the root of the classpath. Each such file must contain a literal map of symbols, like this: {foo/bar my.project.foo/bar foo/baz my.project/baz} The first symbol in each pair is a tag that will be recognized by the Clojure reader. The second symbol in the pair is the fully-qualified name of a Var which will be invoked by the reader to parse the form following the tag. For example, given the data_readers.clj file above, the Clojure reader would parse this form: #foo/bar [1 2 3] by invoking the Var #'my.project.foo/bar on the vector [1 2 3]. The data reader function is invoked on the form AFTER it has been read as a normal Clojure data structure by the reader. Reader tags without namespace qualifiers are reserved for Clojure. Default reader tags are defined in clojure.core/default-data-readers but may be overridden in data_readers.clj, data_readers.cljc, or by rebinding this Var.
Added in Clojure version 1.4
Source
*default-data-reader-fn*
dynamic varWhen no data reader is found for a tag and *default-data-reader-fn* is non-nil, it will be called with two arguments, the tag and the value. If *default-data-reader-fn* is nil (the default), an exception will be thrown for the unknown tag.

*print-dup*
varWhen set to logical true, objects will be printed in a way that preserves their type when read in later. Defaults to false.
Added in Clojure version 1.0
*print-length*
dynamic var*print-length* controls how many items of each collection the printer will print. If it is bound to logical false, there is no limit. Otherwise, it must be bound to an integer indicating the maximum number of items of each collection to print. If a collection contains more items, the printer will print items up to the limit followed by '...' to represent the remaining items. The root binding is nil indicating no limit.
Added in Clojure version 1.0
Source
*print-level*
dynamic var*print-level* controls how many levels deep the printer will print nested objects. If it is bound to logical false, there is no limit. Otherwise, it must be bound to an integer indicating the maximum level to print. Each argument to print is at level 0; if an argument is a collection, its items are at level 1; and so on. If an object is a collection and is at a level greater than or equal to the value bound to *print-level*, the printer prints '#' to represent it. The root binding is nil indicating no limit.
Added in Clojure version 1.0
Source
varIf set to logical true, when printing an object, its metadata will also be printed in a form that can be read back by the reader. Defaults to false.
Added in Clojure version 1.0
*print-namespace-maps*
dynamic var*print-namespace-maps* controls whether the printer will print namespace map literal syntax. It defaults to false, but the REPL binds to true.
Added in Clojure version 1.9
Source
*print-readably*
varWhen set to logical false, strings and characters will be printed with non-alphanumeric characters converted to the appropriate escape sequences. Defaults to true
Added in Clojure version 1.0
*read-eval*
varDefaults to true (or value specified by system property, see below) ***This setting implies that the full power of the reader is in play, including syntax that can cause code to execute. It should never be used with untrusted sources. See also: clojure.edn/read.*** When set to logical false in the thread-local binding, the eval reader (#=) and record/type literal syntax are disabled in read/load. Example (will fail): (binding [*read-eval* false] (read-string "#=(* 2 21)")) The default binding can be controlled by the system property 'clojure.read.eval' System properties can be set on the command line like this: java -Dclojure.read.eval=false ... The system property can also be set to 'unknown' via -Dclojure.read.eval=unknown, in which case the default binding is :unknown and all reads will fail in contexts where *read-eval* has not been explicitly bound to either true or false. This setting can be a useful diagnostic tool to ensure that all of your reads occur in considered contexts. You can also accomplish this in a particular scope by binding *read-eval* to :unknown

*repl*
dynamic varBound to true in a repl thread
Added in Clojure version 1.12

Added in Clojure version 1.3
*warn-on-reflection*
varWhen set to true, the compiler will emit warnings when reflection is needed to resolve Java method calls or field accesses. Defaults to false.

accessor
functionUsage: (accessor s key)

adds f, a fn of one argument, to the tap set. This function will be called with anything sent via tap>. This function may (briefly) block (e.g. for streams), and will never impede calls to tap>, but blocking indefinitely may cause tap values to be dropped. Remember f in order to remove-tap
Added in Clojure version 1.10
Source
add-watch
functionUsage: (add-watch reference key fn)
Adds a watch function to an agent/atom/var/ref reference. The watch fn must be a fn of 4 args: a key, the reference, its old-state, its new-state. Whenever the reference's state might have been changed, any registered watches will have their functions called. The watch fn will be called synchronously, on the agent's thread if an agent, before any pending sends if agent or ref. Note that an atom's or ref's state may have changed again prior to the fn call, so use old/new-state rather than derefing the reference. Note also that watch fns may be called from multiple threads simultaneously. Var watchers are triggered only by root binding changes, not thread-local set!s. Keys must be unique per reference, and can be used to remove the watch with remove-watch, but are otherwise considered opaque by the watch mechanism.

agent
functionUsage: (agent state & options)
Creates and returns an agent with an initial value of state and zero or more options (in any order): :meta metadata-map :validator validate-fn :error-handler handler-fn :error-mode mode-keyword If metadata-map is supplied, it will become the metadata on the agent. validate-fn must be nil or a side-effect-free fn of one argument, which will be passed the intended new state on any state change. If the new state is unacceptable, the validate-fn should return false or throw an exception. handler-fn is called if an action throws an exception or if validate-fn rejects a new state -- see set-error-handler! for details. The mode-keyword may be either :continue (the default if an error-handler is given) or :fail (the default if no error-handler is given) -- see set-error-mode! for details.

case
macroUsage: (case e & clauses)
Takes an expression, and a set of clauses. Each clause can take the form of either: test-constant result-expr (test-constant1 ... test-constantN) result-expr The test-constants are not evaluated. They must be compile-time literals, and need not be quoted. If the expression is equal to a test-constant, the corresponding result-expr is returned. A single default expression can follow the clauses, and its value will be returned if no clause matches. If no default expression is provided and no clause matches, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown. Unlike cond and condp, case does a constant-time dispatch, the clauses are not considered sequentially. All manner of constant expressions are acceptable in case, including numbers, strings, symbols, keywords, and (Clojure) composites thereof. Note that since lists are used to group multiple constants that map to the same expression, a vector can be used to match a list if needed. The test-constants need not be all of the same type.

Options are key-value pairs and may be one of: :default The default dispatch value, defaults to :default :hierarchy The value used for hierarchical dispatch (e.g. ::square is-a ::shape) Hierarchies are type-like relationships that do not depend upon type inheritance. By default Clojure's multimethods dispatch off of a global hierarchy map. However, a hierarchy relationship can be created with the derive function used to augment the root ancestor created with make-hierarchy.

defprotocol
macroUsage: (defprotocol name & opts+sigs)
A protocol is a named set of named methods and their signatures: (defprotocol AProtocolName ;optional doc string "A doc string for AProtocol abstraction" ;options :extend-via-metadata true ;method signatures (bar [this a b] "bar docs") (baz [this a] [this a b] [this a b c] "baz docs")) No implementations are provided. Docs can be specified for the protocol overall and for each method. The above yields a set of polymorphic functions and a protocol object. All are namespace-qualified by the ns enclosing the definition The resulting functions dispatch on the type of their first argument, which is required and corresponds to the implicit target object ('this' in Java parlance). defprotocol is dynamic, has no special compile-time effect, and defines no new types or classes. Implementations of the protocol methods can be provided using extend. When :extend-via-metadata is true, values can extend protocols by adding metadata where keys are fully-qualified protocol function symbols and values are function implementations. Protocol implementations are checked first for direct definitions (defrecord, deftype, reify), then metadata definitions, then external extensions (extend, extend-type, extend-protocol) defprotocol will automatically generate a corresponding interface, with the same name as the protocol, i.e. given a protocol: my.ns/Protocol, an interface: my.ns.Protocol. The interface will have methods corresponding to the protocol functions, and the protocol will automatically work with instances of the interface. Note that you should not use this interface with deftype or reify, as they support the protocol directly: (defprotocol P (foo [this]) (bar-me [this] [this y])) (deftype Foo [a b c] P (foo [this] a) (bar-me [this] b) (bar-me [this y] (+ c y))) (bar-me (Foo. 1 2 3) 42) => 45 (foo (let [x 42] (reify P (foo [this] 17) (bar-me [this] x) (bar-me [this y] x)))) => 17

defrecord
macroUsage: (defrecord name [& fields] & opts+specs)
(defrecord name [fields*] options* specs*) Options are expressed as sequential keywords and arguments (in any order). Supported options: :load-ns - if true, importing the record class will cause the namespace in which the record was defined to be loaded. Defaults to false. Each spec consists of a protocol or interface name followed by zero or more method bodies: protocol-or-interface-or-Object (methodName [args*] body)* Dynamically generates compiled bytecode for class with the given name, in a package with the same name as the current namespace, the given fields, and, optionally, methods for protocols and/or interfaces. The class will have the (immutable) fields named by fields, which can have type hints. Protocols/interfaces and methods are optional. The only methods that can be supplied are those declared in the protocols/interfaces. Note that method bodies are not closures, the local environment includes only the named fields, and those fields can be accessed directly. Method definitions take the form: (methodname [args*] body) The argument and return types can be hinted on the arg and methodname symbols. If not supplied, they will be inferred, so type hints should be reserved for disambiguation. Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired protocol(s) and interface(s). You can also define overrides for methods of Object. Note that a parameter must be supplied to correspond to the target object ('this' in Java parlance). Thus methods for interfaces will take one more argument than do the interface declarations. Note also that recur calls to the method head should *not* pass the target object, it will be supplied automatically and can not be substituted. In the method bodies, the (unqualified) name can be used to name the class (for calls to new, instance? etc). The class will have implementations of several (clojure.lang) interfaces generated automatically: IObj (metadata support) and IPersistentMap, and all of their superinterfaces. In addition, defrecord will define type-and-value-based =, and will defined Java .hashCode and .equals consistent with the contract for java.util.Map. When AOT compiling, generates compiled bytecode for a class with the given name (a symbol), prepends the current ns as the package, and writes the .class file to the *compile-path* directory. Two constructors will be defined, one taking the designated fields followed by a metadata map (nil for none) and an extension field map (nil for none), and one taking only the fields (using nil for meta and extension fields). Note that the field names __meta, __extmap, __hash and __hasheq are currently reserved and should not be used when defining your own records. Given (defrecord TypeName ...), two factory functions will be defined: ->TypeName, taking positional parameters for the fields, and map->TypeName, taking a map of keywords to field values.

Each spec consists of a protocol or interface name followed by zero or more method bodies: protocol-or-interface-or-Object (methodName [args*] body)* Dynamically generates compiled bytecode for class with the given name, in a package with the same name as the current namespace, the given fields, and, optionally, methods for protocols and/or interfaces. The class will have the (by default, immutable) fields named by fields, which can have type hints. Protocols/interfaces and methods are optional. The only methods that can be supplied are those declared in the protocols/interfaces. Note that method bodies are not closures, the local environment includes only the named fields, and those fields can be accessed directly. Fields can be qualified with the metadata :volatile-mutable true or :unsynchronized-mutable true, at which point (set! afield aval) will be supported in method bodies. Note well that mutable fields are extremely difficult to use correctly, and are present only to facilitate the building of higher level constructs, such as Clojure's reference types, in Clojure itself. They are for experts only - if the semantics and implications of :volatile-mutable or :unsynchronized-mutable are not immediately apparent to you, you should not be using them. Method definitions take the form: (methodname [args*] body) The argument and return types can be hinted on the arg and methodname symbols. If not supplied, they will be inferred, so type hints should be reserved for disambiguation. Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired protocol(s) and interface(s).

extend
functionUsage: (extend atype & proto+mmaps)
Implementations of protocol methods can be provided using the extend construct: (extend AType AProtocol {:foo an-existing-fn :bar (fn [a b] ...) :baz (fn ([a]...) ([a b] ...)...)} BProtocol {...} ...) extend takes a type/class (or interface, see below), and one or more protocol + method map pairs. It will extend the polymorphism of the protocol's methods to call the supplied methods when an AType is provided as the first argument. Method maps are maps of the keyword-ized method names to ordinary fns. This facilitates easy reuse of existing fns and fn maps, for code reuse/mixins without derivation or composition. You can extend an interface to a protocol. This is primarily to facilitate interop with the host (e.g. Java) but opens the door to incidental multiple inheritance of implementation since a class can inherit from more than one interface, both of which extend the protocol. It is TBD how to specify which impl to use. You can extend a protocol on nil. If you are supplying the definitions explicitly (i.e. not reusing exsting functions or mixin maps), you may find it more convenient to use the extend-type or extend-protocol macros. Note that multiple independent extend clauses can exist for the same type, not all protocols need be defined in a single extend call. See also: extends?, satisfies?, extenders
Added in Clojure version 1.2

extend-protocol
macroUsage: (extend-protocol p & specs)
Useful when you want to provide several implementations of the same protocol all at once. Takes a single protocol and the implementation of that protocol for one or more types. Expands into calls to extend-type: (extend-protocol Protocol AType (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...) BType (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...) AClass (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...) nil (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...)) expands into: (do (clojure.core/extend-type AType Protocol (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...)) (clojure.core/extend-type BType Protocol (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...)) (clojure.core/extend-type AClass Protocol (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...)) (clojure.core/extend-type nil Protocol (foo [x] ...) (bar [x y] ...)))

extend-type
macroUsage: (extend-type t & specs)
A macro that expands into an extend call. Useful when you are supplying the definitions explicitly inline, extend-type automatically creates the maps required by extend. Propagates the class as a type hint on the first argument of all fns. (extend-type MyType Countable (cnt [c] ...) Foo (bar [x y] ...) (baz ([x] ...) ([x y & zs] ...))) expands into: (extend MyType Countable {:cnt (fn [c] ...)} Foo {:baz (fn ([x] ...) ([x y & zs] ...)) :bar (fn [x y] ...)})

gen-class
macroUsage: (gen-class & options)
When compiling, generates compiled bytecode for a class with the given package-qualified :name (which, as all names in these parameters, can be a string or symbol), and writes the .class file to the *compile-path* directory. When not compiling, does nothing. The gen-class construct contains no implementation, as the implementation will be dynamically sought by the generated class in functions in an implementing Clojure namespace. Given a generated class org.mydomain.MyClass with a method named mymethod, gen-class will generate an implementation that looks for a function named by (str prefix mymethod) (default prefix: "-") in a Clojure namespace specified by :impl-ns (defaults to the current namespace). All inherited methods, generated methods, and init and main functions (see :methods, :init, and :main below) will be found similarly prefixed. By default, the static initializer for the generated class will attempt to load the Clojure support code for the class as a resource from the classpath, e.g. in the example case, ``org/mydomain/MyClass__init.class``. This behavior can be controlled by :load-impl-ns Note that methods with a maximum of 18 parameters are supported. In all subsequent sections taking types, the primitive types can be referred to by their Java names (int, float etc), and classes in the java.lang package can be used without a package qualifier. All other classes must be fully qualified. Options should be a set of key/value pairs, all except for :name are optional: :name aname The package-qualified name of the class to be generated :extends aclass Specifies the superclass, the non-private methods of which will be overridden by the class. If not provided, defaults to Object. :implements [interface ...] One or more interfaces, the methods of which will be implemented by the class. :init name If supplied, names a function that will be called with the arguments to the constructor. Must return [ [superclass-constructor-args] state] If not supplied, the constructor args are passed directly to the superclass constructor and the state will be nil :constructors {[param-types] [super-param-types], ...} By default, constructors are created for the generated class which match the signature(s) of the constructors for the superclass. This parameter may be used to explicitly specify constructors, each entry providing a mapping from a constructor signature to a superclass constructor signature. When you supply this, you must supply an :init specifier. :post-init name If supplied, names a function that will be called with the object as the first argument, followed by the arguments to the constructor. It will be called every time an object of this class is created, immediately after all the inherited constructors have completed. Its return value is ignored. :methods [ [name [param-types] return-type], ...] The generated class automatically defines all of the non-private methods of its superclasses/interfaces. This parameter can be used to specify the signatures of additional methods of the generated class. Static methods can be specified with ^{:static true} in the signature's metadata. Do not repeat superclass/interface signatures here. :main boolean If supplied and true, a static public main function will be generated. It will pass each string of the String[] argument as a separate argument to a function called (str prefix main). :factory name If supplied, a (set of) public static factory function(s) will be created with the given name, and the same signature(s) as the constructor(s). :state name If supplied, a public final instance field with the given name will be created. You must supply an :init function in order to provide a value for the state. Note that, though final, the state can be a ref or agent, supporting the creation of Java objects with transactional or asynchronous mutation semantics. :exposes {protected-field-name {:get name :set name}, ...} Since the implementations of the methods of the generated class occur in Clojure functions, they have no access to the inherited protected fields of the superclass. This parameter can be used to generate public getter/setter methods exposing the protected field(s) for use in the implementation. :exposes-methods {super-method-name exposed-name, ...} It is sometimes necessary to call the superclass' implementation of an overridden method. Those methods may be exposed and referred in the new method implementation by a local name. :prefix string Default: "-" Methods called e.g. Foo will be looked up in vars called prefixFoo in the implementing ns. :impl-ns name Default: the name of the current ns. Implementations of methods will be looked up in this namespace. :load-impl-ns boolean Default: true. Causes the static initializer for the generated class to reference the load code for the implementing namespace. Should be true when implementing-ns is the default, false if you intend to load the code via some other method.

gen-interface
macroUsage: (gen-interface & options)
When compiling, generates compiled bytecode for an interface with the given package-qualified :name (which, as all names in these parameters, can be a string or symbol), and writes the .class file to the *compile-path* directory. When not compiling, does nothing. In all subsequent sections taking types, the primitive types can be referred to by their Java names (int, float etc), and classes in the java.lang package can be used without a package qualifier. All other classes must be fully qualified. Options should be a set of key/value pairs, all except for :name are optional: :name aname The package-qualified name of the class to be generated :extends [interface ...] One or more interfaces, which will be extended by this interface. :methods [ [name [param-types] return-type], ...] This parameter is used to specify the signatures of the methods of the generated interface. Do not repeat superinterface signatures here.

iteration
functionUsage: (iteration step & {:keys [somef vf kf initk], :or {vf identity, kf identity, somef some?, initk nil}})
Creates a seqable/reducible via repeated calls to step, a function of some (continuation token) 'k'. The first call to step will be passed initk, returning 'ret'. Iff (somef ret) is true, (vf ret) will be included in the iteration, else iteration will terminate and vf/kf will not be called. If (kf ret) is non-nil it will be passed to the next step call, else iteration will terminate. This can be used e.g. to consume APIs that return paginated or batched data. step - (possibly impure) fn of 'k' -> 'ret' :somef - fn of 'ret' -> logical true/false, default 'some?' :vf - fn of 'ret' -> 'v', a value produced by the iteration, default 'identity' :kf - fn of 'ret' -> 'next-k' or nil (signaling 'do not continue'), default 'identity' :initk - the first value passed to step, default 'nil' It is presumed that step with non-initk is unreproducible/non-idempotent. If step with initk is unreproducible it is on the consumer to not consume twice.

class-and-interfaces - a vector of class names args - a (possibly empty) vector of arguments to the superclass constructor. f => (name [params*] body) or (name ([params*] body) ([params+] body) ...) Expands to code which creates a instance of a proxy class that implements the named class/interface(s) by calling the supplied fns. A single class, if provided, must be first. If not provided it defaults to Object. The interfaces names must be valid interface types. If a method fn is not provided for a class method, the superclass method will be called. If a method fn is not provided for an interface method, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown should it be called. Method fns are closures and can capture the environment in which proxy is called. Each method fn takes an additional implicit first arg, which is bound to 'this. Note that while method fns can be provided to override protected methods, they have no other access to protected members, nor to super, as these capabilities cannot be proxied.

If the new state is unacceptable, the validate-fn should return false or throw an exception. validate-fn will be called on transaction commit, when all refs have their final values. Normally refs accumulate history dynamically as needed to deal with read demands. If you know in advance you will need history you can set :min-history to ensure it will be available when first needed (instead of after a read fault). History is limited, and the limit can be set with :max-history.

Throws an exception if name is already mapped to something else in the current namespace. Filters can be used to select a subset, via inclusion or exclusion, or to provide a mapping to a symbol different from the var's name, in order to prevent clashes.

reify
macroUsage: (reify & opts+specs)
reify creates an object implementing a protocol or interface. reify is a macro with the following structure: (reify options* specs*) Currently there are no options. Each spec consists of the protocol or interface name followed by zero or more method bodies: protocol-or-interface-or-Object (methodName [args+] body)* Methods should be supplied for all methods of the desired protocol(s) and interface(s). You can also define overrides for methods of Object. Note that the first parameter must be supplied to correspond to the target object ('this' in Java parlance). Thus methods for interfaces will take one more argument than do the interface declarations. Note also that recur calls to the method head should *not* pass the target object, it will be supplied automatically and can not be substituted. The return type can be indicated by a type hint on the method name, and arg types can be indicated by a type hint on arg names. If you leave out all hints, reify will try to match on same name/arity method in the protocol(s)/interface(s) - this is preferred. If you supply any hints at all, no inference is done, so all hints (or default of Object) must be correct, for both arguments and return type. If a method is overloaded in a protocol/interface, multiple independent method definitions must be supplied. If overloaded with same arity in an interface you must specify complete hints to disambiguate - a missing hint implies Object. Method heads are recursion points for recur, as in a fn. The method bodies of reify are lexical closures, and can refer to the surrounding local scope: (str (let [f "foo"] (reify Object (toString [this] f)))) == "foo" (seq (let [f "foo"] (reify clojure.lang.Seqable (seq [this] (seq f))))) == (\f \o \o) reify always implements clojure.lang.IObj and transfers meta data of the form to the created object. (meta ^{:k :v} (reify Object (toString [this] "foo"))) == {:k :v}

require
functionUsage: (require & args)
Loads libs, skipping any that are already loaded. Each argument is either a libspec that identifies a lib, a prefix list that identifies multiple libs whose names share a common prefix, or a flag that modifies how all the identified libs are loaded. Use :require in the ns macro in preference to calling this directly. Libs A 'lib' is a named set of resources in classpath whose contents define a library of Clojure code. Lib names are symbols and each lib is associated with a Clojure namespace and a Java package that share its name. A lib's name also locates its root directory within classpath using Java's package name to classpath-relative path mapping. All resources in a lib should be contained in the directory structure under its root directory. All definitions a lib makes should be in its associated namespace. 'require loads a lib by loading its root resource. The root resource path is derived from the lib name in the following manner: Consider a lib named by the symbol 'x.y.z; it has the root directory <classpath>/x/y/, and its root resource is <classpath>/x/y/z.clj, or <classpath>/x/y/z.cljc if <classpath>/x/y/z.clj does not exist. The root resource should contain code to create the lib's namespace (usually by using the ns macro) and load any additional lib resources. Libspecs A libspec is a lib name or a vector containing a lib name followed by options expressed as sequential keywords and arguments. Recognized options: :as takes a symbol as its argument and makes that symbol an alias to the lib's namespace in the current namespace. :as-alias takes a symbol as its argument and aliases like :as, however the lib will not be loaded. If the lib has not been loaded, a new empty namespace will be created (as with create-ns). :refer takes a list of symbols to refer from the namespace or the :all keyword to bring in all public vars. Prefix Lists It's common for Clojure code to depend on several libs whose names have the same prefix. When specifying libs, prefix lists can be used to reduce repetition. A prefix list contains the shared prefix followed by libspecs with the shared prefix removed from the lib names. After removing the prefix, the names that remain must not contain any periods. Flags A flag is a keyword. Recognized flags: :reload, :reload-all, :verbose :reload forces loading of all the identified libs even if they are already loaded (has no effect on libspecs using :as-alias) :reload-all implies :reload and also forces loading of all libs that the identified libs directly or indirectly load via require or use (has no effect on libspecs using :as-alias) :verbose triggers printing information about each load, alias, and refer Example: The following would load the libraries clojure.zip and clojure.set abbreviated as 's'. (require '(clojure zip [set :as s]))

with-redefs
macroUsage: (with-redefs bindings & body)
binding => var-symbol temp-value-expr Temporarily redefines Vars while executing the body. The temp-value-exprs will be evaluated and each resulting value will replace in parallel the root value of its Var. After the body is executed, the root values of all the Vars will be set back to their old values. These temporary changes will be visible in all threads. Useful for mocking out functions during testing.
Added in Clojure version 1.3

with-redefs-fn
functionUsage: (with-redefs-fn binding-map func)
Temporarily redefines Vars during a call to func. Each val of binding-map will replace the root value of its key which must be a Var. After func is called with no args, the root values of all the Vars will be set back to their old values. These temporary changes will be visible in all threads. Useful for mocking out functions during testing.
