so I might define a function 'no-out' that calls either ,----------------------- | (out "/dev/null". prg) `----------------------- or ,------------------ | (out "NULL". prg) `------------------ depending on the OS. In elisp there is the variable 'system-name' to find out about the OS. Is there something similar in picolisp (I could not find anything)? On which OS is picolisp running currently, I read quite a lot of post about porting it to other OS here recently. That inhibition of any writing to STDOUT should basically work on all platforms that support both - emacs and picolisp. > On Oct 8, 2011, at 5:13 AM, Thorsten wrote: >> I need a way to inhibit any writing to STDOUT in a PicoLisp codeblock.
