#current-output

built-in shelf

Purpose

Represents OmniMark's current output, a collection of output destinations.

  process
     put #current-output "Hello, World!%n"
          
is thus equivalent to:
  process
     output "Hello, World!%n"
          

This isn't very useful in itself, but it allows you to add an item to the current set of destinations:

  global stream s
  
  process
     local stream t
  
     open s as buffer
     open t as file "t.txt"
  
     output-to s
     put #current-output & t "Hello, World!%n"
     using output as #current-output & t
        output "Salut, Monde!%n"
