+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(fboundp <i>symbol</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>symbol</i> - the symbol expression to check for a value<br>
+returns - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if a functional
+value is bound to the symbol, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a>
+otherwise</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'fboundp' predicate function checks to see if 'symbol' is a symbol
+with a function definition bound to it.
+<a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if 'symbol' has a
+function value, <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned otherwise.
+Note that 'symbol' is a symbol expression, it is evaluated and the resulting
+expression is the one that is checked.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(defun foo (x) (print x)) <font color="#008844">; set up function FOO</font>
+(fboundp 'foo) <font color="#008844">; returns T - FOO is closure</font>
+(fboundp 'car) <font color="#008844">; returns T - CAR is subr</font>
+
+(setq myvar 'goo) <font color="#008844">; set up MYVAR to have value GOO</font>
+(fboundp myvar) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - because GOO has no value yet</font>
+(defmacro goo () (print "hi")) <font color="#008844">; define GOO macro</font>
+(fboundp myvar) <font color="#008844">; returns T</font>
+
+(fboundp 'a) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
+(fboundp '1) <font color="#008844">; error: bad argument type - 1</font>
+(fboundp "hi") <font color="#008844">; error: bad argument type - "hi"</font>
