fasl-open

$Revision: 5.0.2.2 $

Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: (name &rest args)

Returns a stream open to file named name. This function is the same as the following call to open:

(open name :element-type (unsigned-byte 8)
:if-exists :supersede :direction :output args)

Thus it returns a stream suitable as the first argument to fasl-write. Note that fasl-write will not close an open stream passed to it so you must close streams opened by fasl-open explicitly. fasl-open cannot be used with fasl-read.

See 2.0 The fasl reader/writer in miscellaneous.htm for more information on this function, fasl-read and fasl-write.

The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index in index.htm.
