std::io::Stderr - Rust
Description: API documentation for the Rust `Stderr` struct in crate `std`.
Keywords: rust, rustlang, rust-lang, Stderr

# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::io::Stderr

    pub struct Stderr { /* fields omitted */ }

A handle to the standard error stream of a process.

For more information, see the `io::stderr` 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.

## Methods

### `impl Stderr`[src]

ⓘImportant traits for StderrLock<'_>

### Important traits for StderrLock<'_>

`impl<'_> Write for StderrLock<'_>`
`pub fn lock(&self) -> StderrLock`[src]

Locks this handle to the standard error 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 foo() -> io::Result<()> {
        let stderr = io::stderr();
        let mut handle = stderr.lock();

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

        Ok(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
