Variable: obarray

obarray is a variable defined in lread.c.

Value

#<obarray n=163406>

Symbol table for use by intern and read.

It is a vector whose length ought to be prime for best results. The vector's contents don't make sense if examined from Lisp programs; to find all the symbols in an obarray, use mapatoms.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 25.1.
