=> ...
   Lambda-list: (&KEY (PORT DEFAULT-SERVER-PORT)
                (STYLE *COMMUNICATION-STYLE*) (DONT-CLOSE *DONT-CLOSE*)
                (CODING-SYSTEM *CODING-SYSTEM*))

    Bind swank::*loopback-interface* to a string containing the ip address for the swank server. It defaults to the localhost (“127.0.0.1”).

    For security, take care that the swank address is not wide open to the world as it would leave the computer vulnerable for intrusion. If the goal is to access swank from another computer, it might be preferable to rather set up a secure channel to the swank server and leave the loopback-interface as is.
