22.1.1 Overview of The Lisp Printer</H2> <P>
|
|
Common Lisp provides a representation of most <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>objects</I></A> in the form of printed text called the printed representation. Functions such as <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_wr_pr.htm#print"><B>print</B></A> take an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> and send the characters of its printed representation to a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#stream"><I>stream</I></A>. The collection of routines that does this is known as the (Common Lisp) printer. <P>
|
|
Reading a printed representation typically produces an <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> that is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_equal.htm#equal"><B>equal</B></A> to the originally printed <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A>. <P>
