Bivalent Streams
ANSI Common Lisp Support Issues
- ANSI Common Lisp specifically distinguishes character and binary streams.
- Character Stream:
- Created by open with :element-type 'character [default].
- Binary Stream:
- Created by open with :element-type being a valid array element type, e.g., 'float, or '(unsigned-byte 8), or '(signed-byte 3), etc.
