stream-line-column

$Revision: 5.0.2.2 $

Generic Function

Package: EXCL

Arguments: (stream)

This function returns the column number where the next character will be written, or nil if that is not meaningful for stream. The first column on a line is numbered 0. This function is used in the implementation of the pretty printer and the format ~T directive. For every character output stream class that is defined, a method must be defined for this function, although it is permissible for it to always return nil.

See streams.htm for general information on streams in Allegro CL.

The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index in index.htm.
