Name: SESSION-EXPORT

Section: Session Operators

Synopsis:

`<session-export PACKAGE [TO-PACKAGE]>`

Description:

Save the package variables of PACKAGE in the current session. If TO-PACKAGE is supplied, it indicates a new package name to assign to each variable from PACKAGE that is saved.

This function is quite useful when you wish to save all of the variables that were posted from the previous URL (presumably, that URL contained a form whose action pointed to the current URL) in the session database record for the current session. For example, if the previous URL posted the variables `FOO` and `BAR`, then executing

`<session-export posted blue>`

results in the session database containing values for `blue::FOO` and `blue::BAR`. These values can either be looked up directly, or retrieved as a group (see `session-import` for more information).
