(quote <<,File,Thing)

f << x -- prints the expression x on the output file f.

Returns f as its value. Parsing associates leftward, so that several expressions may be displayed with something like f<<x<<y<<z. If f is a string, then a new file with name f is created, the expression x is printed into f, and the file f is closed.

i1 : x = 5

o1 = 5
i2 : << "the value of x is " << x << endl
the value of x is 5

o2 = stdio

o2 : File
