Standard-oi
is an ld
special (see ld). The accessor is
(standard-oi state)
and the updater is (set-standard-oi val state)
.
Standard-oi
must be an open object input channel, a true list of objects,
or a list of objects whose last cdr
is an open object input channel.
It is from this source that ld
takes the input forms to process. When
ld
is called, if the value specified for standard-oi
is a string or
a list of objects whose last cdr
is a string, then ld
treats the
string as a file name and opens an object input channel from that file, where
the connected book directory (see cbd) is used to resolve relative
pathnames. The channel opened by ld
is closed by ld
upon
termination.
``Standard-oi'' stands for ``standard object input.'' The
read-eval-print loop in ld
reads the objects in standard-oi
and
treats them as forms to be evaluated. The initial value of
standard-oi
is the same as the value of *standard-oi*
(see *standard-oi*).
