## 22.3.2. Output to Binary Streams

Common Lisp currently specifies only a very simple facility for binary output: the writing of a single byte as an integer.

[Function]
`write-byte integer binary-output-stream`

`write-byte` writes one byte, the value of integer. It is an error if integer is not of the type specified as the `:element-type` argument to `open` when the stream was created. The value integer is returned.
