> What is an exported package?

  A package documented with its exported symbols and intended for others to
  use.  Any serious implementation will need housekeeping or internal
  packages that they do not publish any documentation for.

> Can a Common Lisp program export a package?

  No, but a vendor can choose to document and tell you about a package, or
  choose to withhold such information.
