 ## Arguments and Values:

 Returns: *class* --- an __objc-class__ object representing the Objective
 C class whose name is *class-name*.
 
 
 ## Description:
 
+If no Objective C class named by *class-name* is found, the behaviour
+depends on *errorp*: If *errorp* is **true**, an error is signaled.  If
+*errorp* is **false** (which is the default), __nil__ is returned.

 If *class-name* is a **symbol** which does not contain a hyphen, its
 **name** is converted to **lowercase** except for the first letter,
 which is left intact, and the resulting **string** used as if directly
