terminal-simple-stream

The simple-stream subclass equivalent to the Gray stream excl::terminal-stream and a subclass of dual-channel-simple-stream. This is similar to a socket-simple-stream, but a Control-D, which is seen as an EOF, does not latch the stream into an EOF state.

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.
