Package Exports

@stdlib/streams-node-stdout

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/streams-node-stdout) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Standard Output

Standard output.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/streams-node-stdout

Usage

var stdout = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdout' );

stdout

Standard output as a Writable stream.

// Write to the terminal...
stdout.write( 'beep', 'utf8' );
// e.g., => 'beep'

Notes

Unlike other streams, stdout can never be closed and, thus, never emits a 'finish' event.
Although rare, writes can block when output is redirected to a file.

Examples

var proc = require( 'process' );
var stdin = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdin' );
var stdout = require( '@stdlib/streams-node-stdout' );

// Set the encoding:
stdin.setEncoding( 'utf8' );

// Create an echo stream:
stdin.pipe( stdout );

// Push data to `stdin`:
stdin.push( 'beep' );
stdin.push( ' ' );
stdin.push( 'boop' );
stdin.push( '\n' );

// End the stream:
stdin.push( null );

// Ensure the process closes:
setTimeout( proc.exit, 1000 );

Notice

This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
