make-string-output-stream

(make-string-output-stream)

Returns a fresh string output stream: an output stream that accumulates everything written to it, to be read back with get-output-stream-string. It is the explicit form of what with-output-to-string builds, and is what a defstruct slot :initform needs when the stream has to outlive one expression. CL's :element-type keyword argument is accepted and ignored -- every rontolisp stream is a character stream.
