Subject: Re: Reading files From: Erik Naggum <erik@naggum.no> Date: 1999/05/30 Newsgroups: comp.lang.lisp Message-ID: <3137074519953937@naggum.no> * Josef Eschgfaeller <esg@felix.unife.it> | Is it not possible to read a file at once instead of using read-line | or read-char? two ways: (1) use READ-SEQUENCE on a pre-allocated string (use FILE-LENGTH to learn how big it should be), or (2) make a FFI call to the mmap system call and treat it as a string. the first is simple. | I'm working with GCL under Linux. Thanks. there are much better Common Lisp implementations available under Linux. I would recommend Allegro CL from Franz Inc. visit www.franz.com. #:Erik -- @1999-07-22T00:37:33Z -- pi billion seconds since the turn of the century
