Struct Stdout 

pub struct Stdout { /* private fields */ }

A handle to the global standard output stream of the current process.

Each handle shares a global buffer of data to be written to the standard output stream. Access is also synchronized via a lock and explicit control over locking is available via the lock method.

By default, the handle is line-buffered when connected to a terminal, meaning it flushes automatically when a newline (\n) is encountered. For immediate output, you can manually call the flush method. When the handle goes out of scope, the buffer is automatically flushed.

Created by the io::stdout method.

Note: Windows Portability Considerations

When operating in a console, the Windows implementation of this stream does not support non-UTF-8 byte sequences. Attempting to write bytes that are not valid UTF-8 will return an error.

In a process with a detached console, such as one using #![windows_subsystem = "windows"], or in a child process spawned from such a process, the contained handle will be null. In such cases, the standard library’s Read and Write will do nothing and silently succeed. All other I/O operations, via the standard library or via raw Windows API calls, will fail.

Implementations

impl Stdout

pub fn lock(&self) -> StdoutLock<'static>

Locks this handle to the standard output stream, returning a writable guard.

The lock is released when the returned lock goes out of scope. The returned guard also implements the Write trait for writing data.

Examples

use std::io::{self, Write};

fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
    let mut stdout = io::stdout().lock();

    stdout.write_all(b"hello world")?;

    Ok(())
}
