Summary

A generic function used by write-byte to write an integer to a binary stream.

Package

stream

Signature

stream-write-byte stream => result

Arguments

stream

A stream.

Values

result

An integer.

Description

The generic function stream-write-byte is used by write-byte , and writes an integer to the binary stream specified by stream .

A method must be implemented for all binary subclasses of buffered-stream that handle output. A typical implementation will convert the integer to a character using code-char and call stream-write-char.

A method should be defined for all subclasses of fundamental-binary-output-stream.
