Here's the abstract:

This is an extract from the R6RS that documents its support for transcoders and transcoded ports.  These provide a hook into the Scheme port system from below, allowing the creation of textual ports that provide non-default encoding and decoding from arbitrary binary ports.  It has been lightly edited to fit R7RS style.
