Accessing-printed-output
How to access the characters that have been printed.
Once you are done printing, you typically want to access the
characters that have been printed, e.g., as a character list or string. You
might directly access the rchars field of ps, using, e.g., (vl-ps->rchars), but it is a weird vl-printedlist-p structure, is in
reverse order, and is generally not very convenient to work with. So, it is
typically more convenient to use these alternatives.
Subtopics
- Vl-print-to-file
- Write the printed characters to a file.
- Vl-ps->chars
- (vl-ps->chars) returns what was printed as a character list in
the proper, non-reversed, printed order.
- Vl-ps->string
- (vl-ps->string) returns the printed characters as a string in
the proper, non-reversed, printed order.
- With-ps-file
- Convenient wrapper for vl-print-to-file.
