--- A "stream port" is an adaption of the port concept to model the

--- openProcessPort) where the communication
--- is performed via the following stream port messages.

--- @cons SP_Put s - write the argument s on the output stream
--- @cons SP_GetLine s - unify the argument s with the next text line of the
--- input stream
--- @cons SP_GetChar c - unify the argument c with the next character of the
--- input stream
--- @cons SP_EOF b - unify the argument b with True if we are at the end
--- of the input stream, otherwise with False
--- @cons SP_Close - close the input/output streams
