Declaration
define external string sink function output-file

Purpose

This external string sink function accepts data and writes that data to the file named in the "filename" argument.

Arguments:

Example:

  ; Copying a file using "input-file" and "output-file". Note that both these
  ; functions behave the same way as the OmniMark file keyword unless they are passed
  ; an "io-exception" object, in which case they allow for I/O errors to occur
  ; without stopping the OmniMark program.
  
  set output-file "myoutput.txt" exceptions-to output-exceptions
   to input-file "myinput.txt" exceptions-to input-exceptions
