# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::io::Stdout

    pub struct Stdout { /* fields omitted */ }

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.

Created by the `io::stdout` method.

### Note: Windows Portability Consideration

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.

## Implementations

### `impl Stdout`[src]

#### `pub fn lock(&self) -> StdoutLock`[src]

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 stdout = io::stdout();
        let mut handle = stdout.lock();

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

        Ok(())
    }
