echo-stream,stream,t

Description:

An echo stream is a bidirectional _stream_that gets its input from an associated input _stream_and sends its output to an associated output stream.

All input taken from the input _stream_is echoed to the output stream. Whether the input is echoed immediately after it is encountered, or after it has been read from the _input stream_is implementation-dependent.
