| ANSI Common Lisp 21 Streams 21.2 Dictionary of Streams
21.2.23 write-string, write-line | Function
  Syntax: write-string string `&optional` output-stream `&key` start end string write-line string `&optional` output-stream `&key` start end string Arguments and Values: string - a string. output-stream -- an output stream designator. The default is standard output. start, end - bounding index designators of string. The defaults for start and end are `0` and nil, respectively. Description: write-string writes the characters of the subsequence of string bounded by start and end to output-stream. write-line does the same thing, but then outputs a newline afterwards. Examples:
       (prog1 (write-string "books" nil :end 4) (write-string "worms"))
       bookworms
       "books"
       (progn (write-char #\*)
              (write-line "test12" *standard-output* :end 5)
              (write-line "*test2")
              (write-char #\*)
              nil)
      *test1
      *test2
      *
        NIL
  Affected By: *standard-output*, *terminal-io*. See Also: read-line, write-char Notes: write-line and write-string return string, not the substring bounded by start and end.
       (write-string string)
      ==(dotimes (i (length string)
            (write-char (char string i)))

       (write-line string)
      ==(prog1 (write-string string) (terpri))
