As I was looking for the document of function call-with-port in the API document for chicken, but I got the below response in the result page. No node found matching identifier call-with-port

Seem like API document for chicken document does not have the index for this symbol, when come to the REPL to check the function call-with-port after running (import (scheme base)), it is there. my question is that is there a special reason for http://api.call-cc.org does not index the symbol call-with-port , which is in the scheme base. Thank in advanced.

It seems to me that you may be using the r7rs egg, as call-with-port is not defined in base Chicken.

The documentation at api.call-cc.org is built from the upstream Chicken documentation (which you can see at wiki.call-cc.org), so it would have to be defined there.

Unfortunately these identifiers are not documented upstream (as you can see at https://wiki.call-cc.org/eggref/5/r7rs), so they are not documented at api.call-cc.org.

I would suggest posting a request to the chicken-users mailing list, and requesting that the r7rs identifiers be imported into the documentation. Probably, no one has had time.
