Arguments: buffer &optional external-format
Returns a buffer-output-simple-stream.
buffer must be a simple-vector (that is, a vector
that is not adjustable, not displaced, and does not have a
fill-pointer). The external-format argument
should be the name of an external-format, or
:default will cause it to be looked up in the
locale.
Writing can be done on the stream, and file-position can be used to read and set the location, but not past the end of the buffer. A read past the end of the buffer causes an error.
See streams.htm for information on the simple-streams implementation in Allegro CL.
