Signature

(case EXPR (KEYLIST BODY...)...)

Documentation

Eval EXPR and choose among clauses on that value.

Each clause looks like (KEYLIST BODY...). EXPR is evaluated and compared against each key in each KEYLIST; the corresponding BODY is evaluated. If no clause succeeds, this macro returns nil. A single non-nil atom may be used in place of a KEYLIST of one atom. A KEYLIST of t or otherwise is allowed only in the final clause, and matches if no other keys match. Key values are compared by eql.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 1.1.
