declare #process-input has (binary-mode | text-mode)

declare #process-input has (binary-mode | text-mode | buffered | unbuffered)

Usually, #process-input is read from in text mode (this is the default setting for non-UNIX systems) and is buffered. #process-input has allows you to explicitly change the mode in which data is written. Changing both the mode and the buffering is possible, but requires two declare statements.

For example:

  declare #process-input has binary-mode
  declare #process-input has unbuffered

Always use this declaration in preference to the newline declaration for performing binary input or output (I/O).
