No one help me?

There's a external symbol INSTALL-CHARSET in EXTERNAL-FORMAT package,
but no documentation. Should I try to use this?

CL-USER 12 > (describe 'ef:install-charset)

EXTERNAL-FORMAT:INSTALL-CHARSET is a SYMBOL
NAME          "INSTALL-CHARSET"
VALUE         #<unbound value>
FUNCTION      #<Function EXTERNAL-FORMAT:INSTALL-CHARSET 41E08C6524>
PLIST         NIL
PACKAGE       #<The EXTERNAL-FORMAT package, 225/256 internal, 41/64 external>
