| Allegro CL version 8.2 Unrevised from 8.1 to 8.2. 8.1 version |
Arguments: stream format access
In earlier releases, the symbol naming this function was
single-channel-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 character handlers into the
stream that are appropriate for single-channel
streams, and also sets the external-format state slots to nil
. The selection of which external-format handlers
are used is based on the format; the
external-format is looked up (possibly causing autoloading,
compilation of the templates, and/or loading of pre-built
external-formats).
Normally, access should be specified as nil
. If specified as either the symbol
excl::buffer
or the smbol
excl::mapped
, installation of special
buffer-oriented or mapped templates will be done. Note however, that
these options are not exported and thus not documented, and should not
be counted on remaining unchanged in future versions of Allegro CL.
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 streams.htm for information on the simple-streams implementation in Allegro CL.
