Standard-oi
The standard object input ``channel''
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*.
