<h2>Syntax</h2>
<dl>
<dt>(write-char <i>char-expr</i> [<i>dest</i>])</dt>
<dd><i>char-expr</i> - a character expression<br>
<i>dest</i> - an optional destination, must be a file pointer or stream,
default is <a href="global-standard-output.htm">*standard-output*</a><br>
returns - the character</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The 'write-char' function writes the 'char-expr' to the specified
'destination'. Only the 'char-expr' is written. The 'char-expr' must be a
character expression. The 'char-expr' is returned as the result. The
'destination' may be a file pointer or a stream. If there is no
'destination', <a href="global-standard-output.htm">*standard-output*</a> is the
default.</p>
<h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="example">
(write-char #\C) <font color="#008844">; prints C</font>
(setq fp (open "t" :direction :output)) <font color="#008844">; create file</font>
(write-char #\A fp) <font color="#008844">; returns #\A</font>
(write-char #\B fp) <font color="#008844">; returns #\B</font>
(write-char #\Newline fp) <font color="#008844">; returns #\Newline</font>
(close fp) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
(read (open "t" :direction :input)) <font color="#008844">; returns AB</font>
</pre>
<p><b>Common Lisp:</b> Common Lisp specifies that print operations with a
'destination' of <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> will go to
<a href="global-standard-output.htm">*standard-output*</a>. XLISP does not send the
output to <a href="global-standard-output.htm">*standard-output*</a> with a
'destination' of <a href="nil.htm">NIL</a>. Common Lisp also
specifies that a 'destination' of
<a href="t.htm"> T </a> will be sent to
*terminal-io*, which is not defined in XLISP by default. XLISP does not
allow <a href="t.htm"> T </a> as a valid argument
for 'destination'.</p>
<p>See the
<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-029.htm#write-char">write-char</a>
function in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
