socket-base-simple-stream

One of the new simple-stream classes introduced in release 6.0. This stream is encapsulated by socket-simple-stream when the first chunking-input request is processed. The socket-base-simple-stream acts as a device to the socket-simple-stream, feeding it bytes after de-chunking the input.

The options when creating an instance of this class are: filename, direction (defaults to :input), if-exists, if-does-not-exist, external-format (defaults to :default), input-handle, output-handle, mapped, fn-in (another name for the input-handle, for compatibility only, do not specify both) and fn-out (another name for the output handle, for compatibility only, do not specify both).

See device-open for a description of the input-handle, output-handle, and mapped options.

See streams.htm for a description of the new simple-stream stream implementation.
