socket-simple-stream

The simple-stream subclass equivalent to the Gray stream excl::bdbv-socket-stream. The stream reads/writes both characters and bytes of any width. This stream class is a subclass of dual-channel-simple-stream.

The options when creating an instance of this class are: filename, direction (defaults to :input), if-exists, if-does-not-exist, external-format (defaults to :default), input-handle, output-handle, mapped, fn-in (another name for the input-handle, for compatibility only, do not specify both) and fn-out (another name for the output handle, for compatibility only, do not specify both).

See device-open for a description of the input-handle, output-handle, and mapped options.

See streams.htm for general information on simple-streams in Allegro CL.
