Syntax:
fdefinition function-name => definition
(setf (fdefinition function-name) new-definition)
Arguments and Values:
function-name---a function name. In the non-setf case, the name must be fbound in the global environment.
definition---Current global function definition named by function-name.
new-definition---a function.
Description:
fdefinition accesses the current global function definition named by function-name. The definition may be a function or may be an object representing a special form or macro. The value returned by fdefinition when fboundp returns true but the function-name denotes a macro or special form is not well-defined, but fdefinition does not signal an error.
Examples: None.
Side Effects: None.
Affected By: None.
Exceptional Situations:
Should signal an error of type type-error if function-name is not a function name.
An error of type undefined-function is signaled in the non-setf case if function-name is not fbound.

fboundp, fmakunbound, macro-function, special-operator-p, symbol-function
Notes:
fdefinition cannot access the value of a lexical function name produced by flet or labels; it can access only the global function value.
setf can be used with fdefinition to replace a global function definition when the function-name's function definition does not represent a special form. setf of fdefinition requires a function as the new value. It is an error to set the fdefinition of a function-name to a symbol, a list, or the value returned by fdefinition on the name of a macro or special form.
