Introduction The deoxybyte-io system is a selection of utility code focused on transfer of data between Lisp and its environment. It includes: - IO and parser conditions - File and directory utilities - Command line interface definition utilities - Stream classes and methods - Tabular text parsing - Binary encoding and decoding * * Nathan Froyd has released nibbles (https://github.com/froydnj/nibbles) which implements octet-vector operations similar to those in this system, only optimized for efficiency. I'll consider replacing my implementations with a shim to nibbles, or calling nibbles directly. Installation deoxybyte-io uses ASDF for system definition. Install as described in the ASDF documentation and then load: (asdf:load-system :deoxybyte-io) Alternatively, use the equivalent deoxybyte-systems:load-system function: (dxs:load-system :deoxybyte-io) Tests To run the unit and regression tests you need to have LIFT installed. Run the tests: (asdf:test-system :deoxybyte-io) Alternatively, use the equivalent deoxybyte-systems:test-system function: (dxs:test-system :deoxybyte-io) Documentation See the Lisp docstrings, particularly the package docstrings for an overview. HTML documentation may be generated with the command: (dxs:document-system :deoxybyte-io) at the REPL, provided that CLDOC is installed.
