-@findex stream-external-format
+@findex @cl{stream-external-format}
The encodings supported by SBCL as external formats are named by
keyword. Each encoding has a canonical name, which will be encoding
returned by @code{stream-external-format}, and a number of aliases for
@include encodings.texi-temp
-@findex open
-@findex with-open-file
+@findex @cl{open}
+@findex @cl{with-open-file}
In situations where an external file format designator is required, such
as the @code{:external-format} argument in calls to @code{open} or
@code{with-open-file}, users may supply the name of an encoding to

Streams are @emph{not} created bivalent by default for performance
reasons. Bivalent streams are incompatible with

machinery that bulk-converts octets to characters and implements a
fast path through @code{read-char}.
