| Allegro CL version 6.1 Unrevised | |||||||||
One of the new simple-stream subclasses introduced in Allegro CL 6.0. Equivalent
to the Gray stream excl::terminal-stream and a
subclass of dual-channel-simple-stream. This is similar to
a socket-simple-stream,
but a Control-D, which is seen as an EOF, does not latch the stream
into an EOF state.
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 general information on simple-streams in Allegro CL.
