21.2.14 read-byte | Function
  Syntax: read-byte stream `&optional` eof-error-p eof-value byte Arguments and Values: stream - a binary input stream. eof-error-p - a generalized boolean. The default is true. eof-value - an object. The default is nil. byte - an integer, or the eof-value. Description: read-byte reads and returns one byte from stream. If an end of file2 occurs and eof-error-p is false, the eof-value is returned. Examples:
       (with-open-file (s "temp-bytes"
                           :direction :output
                           :element-type 'unsigned-byte)
          (write-byte 101 s))  101
       (with-open-file (s "temp-bytes" :element-type 'unsigned-byte)
          (format t "~S ~S" (read-byte s) (read-byte s nil 'eof)))
      101 EOF
        NIL
Side Effects: Modifies stream. Exceptional Situations: Should signal an error of type type-error if stream is not a stream. Should signal an error of type error if stream is not a binary input stream. If there are no bytes remaining in the stream and eof-error-p is true, an error of type end-of-file is signaled. See Also: read-char, read-sequence, write-byte Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
