install-string-input-character-strategy

Arguments: stream

In earlier releases, the symbol naming this function was string-install-ef-methods. That symbol is no longer exported. Use this new name instead.

This function is called for its side-effects. Its return value is unspecified. This function installs input character handlers into the stream that are appropriate for string-streams, and also sets the external-format state slots to nil.

You must load the :iodefs module to use this function. Do that by evaluating (require :iodefs). (It is not an error to evaluate that form if the module is already loaded.) This function is intended for implementing device-level functionality and should not be used except for that purpose. See Simple-stream Description in streams.htm for a description of the device-level.

See also install-string-output-character-strategy. That function and this one replace the older install-string-character-strategy. See streams.htm for information on the simple-streams implementation in Allegro CL.
