The source of input data for a program. The standard input file is often called stdin, and is automatically opened by the shell for reading on file descriptor 0 for every command invoked.
The source of input data for a program. The standard input file is often called stdin. Standard input is usually supplied by entering data at the keyboard.
a file that represents where commands will get their input, which is usually from the keyboard. Typed commands are treated as standard input unless the user redirects the standard input to come from elsewhere.
The Unix-standard input stream. Data can be redirected or piped into a program's stdin from any source.
the file descriptor number 0, opened by every process, used by convention as the file descriptor from which the process receives data. See Also standard error, standard output.
In UNIX, the defined source of input for a process. By default, standard input comes from the terminal.
ASCII input stream which comes from either another process or from the standard input device, usually the keyboard.
A file that represents where commands will get their input, usually assigned to your terminal keyboard. Typed commands are treated as standard input unless you have redirected the standard input to come from elsewhere.
The device from which a program reads its input. The keyboard is normally standard input.
In the AIX operating system, the primary source of data entered into a command. Standard input comes from the keyboard unless redirection or piping is used, in which case standard input can be from a file or the output from another command.
The standard place from which input is received by a program. By default it will be the user's keyboard.
The usual place from which a program takes its input. By default, this is the keyboard. Standard input can be redirected; for example, you can use the less-than symbol () to instruct a program to take input from a file. Also known as stdin, the standard input is identified by the file descriptor
A logical channel through which a command accepts input. By default, standard input is assigned to your keyboard. It can be redirected to take input from a file or a pipe. Standard input is file descriptor
The device from which a program or operating system normally receives input. In most cases this is the terminal (that is, whatever you type from the keyboard is displayed on the terminal screen). For more information, see "Using Command-Line Redirection" in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
An input stream usually intended to be used for primary data input. X/Open. Standard input comes from the keyboard unless redirection or piping is used, in which case standard input can be from a file or the output from another command.
the source of information for a command. This is assumed to be the keyboard unless input is redirected or piped from a file or another command.
This is where the computer is expecting any input from. By default this is the keyboard. Back
Also known as STDIN, standard input is an input stream into a program. In Unix, the STDIN of a program you run is usually drawn from the console. $ cat Now I am typing into the standard input of cat. Press ^d to exit. Now I am typing into the standard input of cat. Press ^d to exit. ^d $ What happened here is that cat, without a filename to read, accepts input from STDIN, and outputs to STDOUT (see below). Every line we type is immediately echoed back at us.
