produces bytes, while an <a name="(tech._output._port)"></a><span style="font-style: italic">output port</span> consumes bytes (and
|
|
some ports are both input ports and output ports). When an input port
|
|
is provided to a character-based operation, the bytes are decoded to a
|
|
character, and character-based output operations similarly encode the
|
|
character to bytes; see <a href="encodings.html" data-pltdoc="x">Encodings and Locales</a>. In addition to bytes and
|
|
characters encoded as bytes, some ports can produce and/or consume

|
arbitrary values as <a name="(tech._special)"></a><span style="font-style: italic">special</span> results.</p><p>When a port corresponds to a file, network connection, or some other

|
system resource, it must be explicitly closed via

|
in the port’s stream to be returned again by the next read or

<a href="ports.html#%28tech._peek%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">peek</span></a>. Previously peeked data can be <a name="(tech._commit)"></a><span style="font-style: italic">committed</span>, which causes the data to be removed from the

port as for a read in a way that can be synchronized with other
|
|
attempts to <a href="ports.html#%28tech._peek%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">peek</span></a> or read through a <a href="sync.html#%28tech._synchronizable._event%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">synchronizable

|
|
the sense that the read or <a href="ports.html#%28tech._peek%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">peek</span></a> operation does not complete
|
|
until data is available from the port; non-blocking variants of read

|
and <a href="ports.html#%28tech._peek%29" class="techoutside" data-pltdoc="x"><span class="techinside">peek</span></a> operations are also available.</p><p>The global variable <span class="RktSym"><a href="port-ops.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._eof%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">eof</a></span> is bound to the end-of-file value,

|
|
value. Reading from a port produces an end-of-file result when the
|
|
port has no more data, but some ports may also return end-of-file
|
|
mid-stream. For example, a port connected to a Unix terminal returns
|
|
an end-of-file when the user types control-D; if the user provides
|
|
more input, the port returns additional bytes after the end-of-file.</p><p>Every port has a name, as reported by <span class="RktSym"><a href="inspectors.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._object-name%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">object-name</a></span>. The name

|
can be any value, and it is used mostly for error-reporting
|
|
purposes. The <span class="RktSym"><a href="Reading.html#%28def._%28%28quote._~23~25kernel%29._read-syntax%29%29" class="RktValLink" data-pltdoc="x">read-syntax</a></span> procedure uses the name of an input
