22.3.2. Output to Binary Streams

Common Lisp currently specifies only a very simple facility for binary output: the writing of a single byte as an integer.


[Function]
write-byte integer binary-output-stream

write-byte writes one byte, the value of integer. It is an error if integer is not of the type specified as the :element-type argument to open when the stream was created. The value integer is returned.
