Print Page - stderr device number in the manual

Title: stderr device number in the manual
Post by: steloflute on January 17, 2017, 09:49:52 AM

In the manual ( http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/newlisp_manual.html#device ), stderr is not mentioned.

I think 2 is the stderr.

Test code (test.lsp):

Code Select Expand
(write-line 2 "stderr")
(println "stdout")
(exit)

Code Select Expand
newlisp test.lsp > out.txt

Then, "stderr" is printed to the screen. "stdout" is printed to the file.

Would you please change the manual like so:

~~Quote~~int-io-handle is an I/O device number, which is set to 0 (zero) for the default STD I/O pair of handles, 0 for stdin and 1 for stdout.
