Package

Description

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