3.11.5 Write and Display

write object port primitive generic
display object port primitive generic
When GOOPS is loaded, write and display become generic functions with special methods for printing
  • objects - instances of the class <object>
  • foreign objects - instances of the class <foreign-object>
  • classes - instances of the class <class>
  • generic functions - instances of the class <generic>
  • methods - instances of the class <method>.

write and display print non-GOOPS values in the same way as the Guile primitive write and display functions.
