Package

stream

Signature

stream-read-line stream => result terminated

Description

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.
