filename

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: printer

Returns the filename printer is "printing" to. This applies when the printer is printing to a file rather than a piece of paper.

The :print-to-file-p initarg may be passed to open-stream when creating a printer stream to request that the printing be done to a file, though a particular printer driver may or may not heed the request. Typically the driver would invoke a dialog to ask the end user what file to print to, if it supports printing to files, and the filename entered by the user will be stored in this property.

filename is a property of the printer class.

This generic function is not setf'able.
