30.2. Defined classes

Defined classes

GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM
This is a superclass of all user-defined streams. It is a subclass of STREAM and of STANDARD-OBJECT. Its metaclass is STANDARD-CLASS.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-INPUT-STREAM
This is a superclass of all user-defined input STREAMs. It is a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM. The built-in function INPUT-STREAM-P returns true on instances of this class. This means that when you define a new stream class capable of doing input, you have to make it a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-INPUT-STREAM.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-OUTPUT-STREAM
This is a superclass of all user-defined output STREAMs. It is a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM. The built-in function OUTPUT-STREAM-P returns true on instances of this class. This means that when you define a new stream class capable of doing output, you have to make it a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-OUTPUT-STREAM.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-CHARACTER-STREAM
This is a superclass of all user-defined streams whose STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE is CHARACTER. It is a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM. It defines a method on STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE that returns CHARACTER.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-STREAM
This is a superclass of all user-defined streams whose STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE is a subtype of INTEGER. It is a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-STREAM. When you define a subclass of GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-STREAM, you have to provide a method on STREAM-ELEMENT-TYPE.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-CHARACTER-INPUT-STREAM
This is a convenience class inheriting from both GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-CHARACTER-STREAM and GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-INPUT-STREAM.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-CHARACTER-OUTPUT-STREAM
This is a convenience class inheriting from both GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-CHARACTER-STREAM and GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-OUTPUT-STREAM.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-INPUT-STREAM
This is a convenience class inheriting from both GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-STREAM and GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-INPUT-STREAM.
GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-OUTPUT-STREAM
This is a convenience class inheriting from both GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-BINARY-STREAM and GRAY:FUNDAMENTAL-OUTPUT-STREAM.
