writer

clojure.java.io

Available since 1.2 (source)
  • (writer x & opts)
Attempts to coerce its argument into an open java.io.Writer.
 Default implementations always return a java.io.BufferedWriter.
  Default implementations are provided for Writer, BufferedWriter,
 OutputStream, File, URI, URL, Socket, and String.
  If the argument is a String, it tries to resolve it first as a URI, then
 as a local file name.  URIs with a 'file' protocol are converted to
 local file names.
  Should be used inside with-open to ensure the Writer is properly
 closed.
