## charpos

Arguments: &optional output-stream

For a Gray stream, charpos calls stream-line-column.

Otherwise:

The output line-character-position may be tracked on a per-character basis, or it may be calculated when needed. If for any reason the charpos cannot be determined it is deemed to be `nil`.

If the stream tracks charpos, the current value is returned as the result of this function. Otherwise, the calculation is performed and the result returned.

See Details of stream-line-column and charpos in streams.htm. See streams.htm for information on the simple-streams implementation in Allegro CL. The older but still supported Gray streams implementation is described in gray-streams.htm.
