declare #process-output has

 
 

Syntax

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

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


Purpose

Usually, #process-output is written to in text mode (this is the default setting). #process-output has allows you to explicitly change the mode in which data is written.

You should always use this declaration in preference to the newline declaration for performing binary input or output.

Usually, #process-output is written to in text mode (this is the default setting for non-UNIX systems) and is buffered. #process-output 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-output has binary-mode
  declare #process-output has unbuffered

You should always use this declaration in preference to the newline declaration for performing binary input or output.
