— Scheme Procedure: call-with-output-string proc
— C Function: scm_call_with_output_string (proc)

Calls the one-argument procedure proc with a newly created output port. When the function returns, the string composed of the characters written into the port is returned. proc should not close the port.

— Scheme Procedure: call-with-input-string string proc
— C Function: scm_call_with_input_string (string, proc)

Calls the one-argument procedure proc with a newly created input port from which string's contents may be read. The value yielded by the proc is returned.

— Scheme Procedure: with-output-to-string thunk

Calls the zero-argument procedure thunk with the current output port set temporarily to a new string port. It returns a string composed of the characters written to the current output.

— Scheme Procedure: with-input-from-string string thunk

Calls the zero-argument procedure thunk with the current input port set temporarily to a string port opened on the specified string. The value yielded by thunk is returned.

— Scheme Procedure: open-input-string str
— C Function: scm_open_input_string (str)

Take a string and return an input port that delivers characters from the string. The port can be closed by close-input-port, though its storage will be reclaimed by the garbage collector if it becomes inaccessible.

— Scheme Procedure: open-output-string
— C Function: scm_open_output_string ()

Return an output port that will accumulate characters for retrieval by get-output-string. The port can be closed by the procedure close-output-port, though its storage will be reclaimed by the garbage collector if it becomes inaccessible.

— Scheme Procedure: get-output-string port
— C Function: scm_get_output_string (port)

Given an output port created by open-output-string, return a string consisting of the characters that have been output to the port so far.

get-output-string must be used before closing port, once closed the string cannot be obtained.
