fasl-open

Arguments: name &rest args

Returns a stream open to file named name. This function is the same as the following call to open:

(open name :element-type (unsigned-byte 8) :if-exists :supersede :direction :output args)

Thus it returns a stream suitable as the first argument to fasl-write. Note that fasl-write will not close an open stream passed to it so you must close streams opened by fasl-open explicitly. fasl-open cannot be used with fasl-read.

See The fasl reader/writer in miscellaneous.htm for more information on this function, fasl-read and fasl-write.
