Call-with-current-continuation

(call/cc) A {Lisp} control function. call/cc takes a function

f as its argument. It calls f and passes it the current

{continuation}, which is itself a function, k. The

continuation represents the context of the call to call/cc.

It is a function which takes the result of call/cc (which is

the result of f) and returns the final result of the whole

program. Thus if, for example, the final result is to print

the value returned by call/cc then anything passed to k will

also be printed:

(defun f (k)

(apply k 1)

(apply k 2)

3)

(print (call/cc f))

Will print 1 2 3.
