Output from asdf and asdf extensions are supposed to be sent to the CL
stream @code{*standard-output*}, and so rebinding that stream around
calls to @code{asdf:operate} should redirect all output from asdf
operations.
That's all you need to know to use asdf to load systems written by
others. The rest of this manual deals with writing system
definitions for Lisp software you write yourself.

@section Other code in .asd files
Files containing defsystem forms are regular Lisp files that are
executed by @code{load}. Consequently, you can put whatever Lisp code
you like into these files (e.g., code that examines the compile-time
environment and adds appropriate features to @code{*features*}).
However, some conventions should be followed, so that users can
control certain details of execution of the Lisp in .asd files:
@itemize
@item
Any informative output (other than warnings and errors, which are the
condition system's to dispose of) should be sent to the standard CL
stream @code{*standard-output*}, so that users can easily control the
disposition of output from asdf operations.
