buffer-input-simple-stream

This class is a subclass of direct-simple-stream. This class describes a stream which reads from an octet buffer, in a similar manner to a string-input-simple-stream, which reads from a lisp string.

The options when creating an instance of this class are: buffer, external-format, start and end. A buffer is a vector which is a simple-array with element type (unsigned-byte 8) or (signed-byte 8).

See streams.htm for general information on simple-streams in Allegro CL. See also make-buffer-input-stream.
