#### 22.1.3.20 Printing Structures ¶

By default, a structure of type S is printed using `#S` syntax. This behavior can be customized by specifying a `:print-function` or `:print-object` option to the defstruct form that defines S, or by writing a print-object method that is specialized for objects of type S.

Different structures might print out in different ways; the default notation for structures is:

     #S(structure-name {slot-key slot-value}*)

where `#S` indicates structure syntax, structure-name is a structure name, each slot-key is an initialization argument name for a slot in the structure, and each corresponding slot-value is a representation of the object in that slot.
