The generic function
stream-read-line
reads a line of characters from
stream
and returns this line as a string. If the string is terminated by an end-of-file instead of a newline then
terminated
is
t
.
The default method uses repeated calls to
stream-read-char
, and uses
stream-element-type
to determine the element-type of its result.
