Arguments: buffer &optional external-format
Returns a buffer-output-simple-stream.
buffer must be a simple-vector (not adjustabe, displaced and
it cannot have a
fill-pointer. The
external-format argument should be the name of an
external-format, or :default will cause it to be
looked up in the locale.
Writing can be done on the stream, and file-position can be used to read and set the location, but not past the end of the buffer. A read past the end of the buffer causes an error.
See streams.htm for information on the simple-streams implementation in Allegro CL.
The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
