Each separate data type is documented in its own section, this is a just a
table of the more common types.
- Integer
-
32-bit signed integers. See section Numbers.
- Cons cell
-
An object containing two other Lisp objects. See section Cons Cells.
- List
-
A sequence of objects, in Lisp lists are not primitive types, instead they
are made by chaining together Cons cells. See section Lists.
- Vector
-
A one-dimensional array of objects. See section Vectors.
- String
-
A vector of characters. See section Strings.
- Array
-
An ordered sequence of objects which can be accessed in constant time,
either a vector or a string. See section Sequences.
- Sequence
-
An ordered sequence of objects, either a list or an array.
See section Sequences.
- Symbol
-
A symbol is a named object; they are used to provide named variables and
functions. See section Symbols.
- File
-
A link to a file in the operating system's filing system, allows access

- Stream
-
Serial data sinks and sources. See section Streams.
- Void
-
No type, only used in symbols to represent an unset function or variable
value.
- Buffer
-
A "space" in which text can be edited, buffers may be displayed in a
window and hence edited by the user. See section Buffers.
- Window
-
A physical window in the underlying window-system, used for input and
output.
- Position
-
A pair of integers, used to represent the coordinates of a character in
a buffer. See section Positions.
- Mark
-
A position in a specified file, this file may either be a buffer in memory
or a named file. See section Marks.
- Process
-
An object through which processes may be created and controlled.
See section Processes.
- Glyph Table
-
A lookup-table which is used to map characters in a buffer to the sequence
of glyphs they are rendered as. See section Glyph Tables.
- Keymap
-
A set of key-sequence-to-command mappings; when installed in a buffer it
controls how the editor reacts to all input from the user. See section Keymaps.
- Event
