  77   "Save a \"core image\", i.e. enough information to restart a Lisp
  78 process later in the same state, in the file of the specified name.
  79 Only global state is preserved: the stack is unwound in the process.
  80
  81 The following &KEY arguments are defined:
  82
  83   :TOPLEVEL
  84      The function to run when the created core file is resumed. The
  85      default function handles command line toplevel option processing
  86      and runs the top level read-eval-print loop. This function returning
  87      is equivalent to (SB-EXT:EXIT :CODE 0) being called.
  88
  89      TOPLEVEL functions should always provide an ABORT restart: otherwise
  90      code they call will run without one.
  91
  92   :EXECUTABLE
  93      If true, arrange to combine the SBCL runtime and the core image
  94      to create a standalone executable.  If false (the default), the
  95      core image will not be executable on its own. Executable images
  96      always behave as if they were passed the --noinform runtime option.
  97
  98   :SAVE-RUNTIME-OPTIONS
  99      If true, values of runtime options --dynamic-space-size and
 100      --control-stack-size that were used to start SBCL are stored in
 101      the standalone executable, and restored when the executable is
 102      run. This also inhibits normal runtime option processing, causing
 103      all command line arguments to be passed to the toplevel.
 104      Meaningless if :EXECUTABLE is NIL.
 105
 106   :PURIFY
 107      If true (the default on cheneygc), do a purifying GC which moves all
 108      dynamically allocated objects into static space. This takes
 109      somewhat longer than the normal GC which is otherwise done, but
 110      it's only done once, and subsequent GC's will be done less often
 111      and will take less time in the resulting core file. See the PURIFY
 112      function. This parameter has no effect on platforms using the
 113      generational garbage collector.
 114
 115   :ROOT-STRUCTURES
 116      This should be a list of the main entry points in any newly loaded
 117      systems. This need not be supplied, but locality and/or GC performance
 118      may be better if they are. Meaningless if :PURIFY is NIL. See the
 119      PURIFY function.
 120
 121   :ENVIRONMENT-NAME
 122      This is also passed to the PURIFY function when :PURIFY is T.
 123      (rarely used)
 124
 125   :COMPRESSION
 126      This is only meaningful if the runtime was built with the :SB-CORE-COMPRESSION
 127      feature enabled. If NIL (the default), saves to uncompressed core files. If
 128      :SB-CORE-COMPRESSION was enabled at build-time, the argument may also be
 129      an integer from -1 to 9, corresponding to zlib compression levels, or T
 130      (which is equivalent to the default compression level, -1).
 131
 132   :APPLICATION-TYPE
 133      Present only on Windows and is meaningful only with :EXECUTABLE T.
 134      Specifies the subsystem of the executable, :CONSOLE or :GUI.
 135      The notable difference is that :GUI doesn't automatically create a console
 136      window. The default is :CONSOLE.
 137
 138 The save/load process changes the values of some global variables:
 139
 140   *STANDARD-OUTPUT*, *DEBUG-IO*, etc.
 141     Everything related to open streams is necessarily changed, since
 142     the OS won't let us preserve a stream across save and load.
 143
 144   *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*
 145     This is reinitialized to reflect the working directory where the
 146     saved core is loaded.
 147
 148 SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE interacts with SB-ALIEN:LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT: see its
 149 documentation for details.
 150
 151 On threaded platforms only a single thread may remain running after
 152 SB-EXT:*SAVE-HOOKS* have run. Applications using multiple threads can
 153 be SAVE-LISP-AND-DIE friendly by registering a save-hook that quits
 154 any additional threads, and an init-hook that restarts them.
 155
 156 This implementation is not as polished and painless as you might like:
 157   * It corrupts the current Lisp image enough that the current process
 158     needs to be killed afterwards. This can be worked around by forking
 159     another process that saves the core.
 160   * There is absolutely no binary compatibility of core images between
 161     different runtime support programs. Even runtimes built from the same
 162     sources at different times are treated as incompatible for this
 163     purpose.
 164 This isn't because we like it this way, but just because there don't
 165 seem to be good quick fixes for either limitation and no one has been
 166 sufficiently motivated to do lengthy fixes."
