nstream-string-size

Generic Function

Package: common-graphics

Arguments: stream string position &optional start end

Modifies and returns position so that it is the amount by which the current position of stream would move if string were printed onto it by princ.

This is the destructive version of stream-string-size.

Note: incompatible change in release 6.0: in releases prior to 6.0, when a frame-with-single-child instance was passed to this operator, the operator was actually applied to the child (the result of applying frame-child to the frame-with-single-child instance). In release 6.0, this redirection no longer occurs. If you intend this operator to apply to the frame-child, pass that to this operator rather than the parent. This is a non-backward-compatible-change. See the release notes for more information.
