22.1.3.12 Printing Structures</H2> <P>
By default, a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#structure"><I>structure</I></A> of type S is printed using <TT>#S</TT> syntax. This behavior can be customized by specifying a <TT>:print-function</TT> or <TT>:print-object</TT> option to the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="m_defstr.htm#defstruct"><B>defstruct</B></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_f.htm#form"><I>form</I></A> that defines S, or by writing a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_pr_obj.htm#print-object"><B>print-object</B></A> <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_m.htm#method"><I>method</I></A> that is <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#specialized"><I>specialized</I></A> for <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>objects</I></A> of type S. <P>
Different structures might print out in different ways; the default notation for structures is: <P>
<PRE>
#S(structure-name {slot-key slot-value}*)
</PRE>
</TT> where <TT>#S</TT> indicates structure syntax, <I>structure-name</I> is a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#structure_name"><I>structure name</I></A>, each <I>slot-key</I> is an initialization argument <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_n.htm#name"><I>name</I></A> for a <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#slot"><I>slot</I></A> in the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#structure"><I>structure</I></A>, and each corresponding <I>slot-value</I> is a representation of the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_o.htm#object"><I>object</I></A> in that <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#slot"><I>slot</I></A>. <P>
For information on how the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_l.htm#lisp_reader"><I>Lisp reader</I></A> parses <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_s.htm#structure"><I>structures</I></A>, see <A REL=CHILD HREF="02_dhm.htm">Section 2.4.8.13 (Sharpsign S)</A>. <P>
