Read from PORT until the end-of-file is reached and return the list of expressions and blanks that were read.

Write to PORT the expressions and blanks listed in LST.

Canonicalize COMMENT, which is to be printed at INDENT, ensuring it has the "right" number of leading semicolons.

Return a new comment made from STR. When MARGIN? is true, return a margin comment; otherwise return a line comment. STR must start with a semicolon and end with newline, otherwise an error is raised.

Return a vertical space corresponding to a single blank line.

Pretty-print OBJ to PORT, attempting to at most MAX-WIDTH character columns and assuming the current column is INDENT. Comments present in OBJ are included in the output.

Lists longer than LONG-LIST are written as one element per line. Comments are passed through FORMAT-COMMENT before being emitted; a useful value for FORMAT-COMMENT is 'canonicalize-comment'. Vertical space is passed through FORMAT-VERTICAL-SPACE; a useful value of 'canonicalize-vertical-space'.

Pretty-print OBJ with INDENT columns as the initial indent. ARGS are passed as-is to 'pretty-print-with-comments'.

Like 'read', but include <blank> objects when they're encountered. When BLANK-LINE? is true, assume PORT is at the beginning of a new line.

Apply MAKE to the values associated with KEYS in ALIST. Items in KEYS that are also in MULTIPLE-VALUE-KEYS are considered to occur possibly multiple times in ALIST, and thus their value is a list.

Read a recutils-style record from PORT and return it as a list of key/value pairs. Stop upon an empty line (after consuming it) or EOF.
