APPENDIX C. COMMON LISP STREAMS


C.5 Binary Streams

Binary streams can be created by defining a class that includes either fundamental-binary-
input-stream or fundamental-binary-output-stream (or both) and defining a method for
stream-element-type and for one or both of the following generic functions.

=> stream-read-byte stream [Generic Function]
Returns either an integer, or the symbol :eof if stream is at end-of-file. This is used by read-
byte.

=> stream-write-byte stream integer [Generic Function]
Writes integer to stream, and returns integer as the result. This is used by write-byte.
