The function
encode-lisp-string
converts the part of
string
bounded by
start
and
end
to a binary vector
vector
encoded in encoding
external-format
.
The element type of vector matches the external-format-foreign-type of external-format .
This function exists in LispWorks 5.0 but is not documented and does not take the
:start
and
:end
arguments. Also, it was inefficient prior to LispWorks 5.0.1.
