Syntax

  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). #process-input has allows you to explicitly change the mode in which data is written.

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

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).
