a file that represents where commands will send their output, which is usually to the terminal screen. When the system writes to the standard output file, the output appears on the screen unless the user redirects the standard output, such as to a file.

The Unix-standard output stream. Normal text output from a program is written to stdout, which is separate from the error messages reported on stderr and can be piped or redirected into other programs' stdin or to a file.

the file descriptor number 1, opened by every process, used by convention as the file descriptor in which the process prints its output. See Also standard error, standard input.

In UNIX, the defined receiver for output from a process. By default, the standard output goes to the terminal.

ASCII output stream which goes to another process or the default output device, usually the screen.

A file that represents where commands will place their output, usually assigned to your terminal screen. When the system writes to the standard output file (stdout), the output appears on your screen unless you have redirected the standard output.

The device to which a program can send its output. The display is normally standard output.

In the AIX operating system, the primary destination of data produced by a command. Standard output goes to the display unless redirection or piping is used, in which case standard output can go to a file or to another command.

stdout) The default place to which a program writes its output. The default is the terminal display.

The standard place where output is directed from a program. By default it will be the user's terminal.

The usual place where a program writes its output. By default, this is the screen. Standard output can be redirected; for example, you can use a pipe symbol (|) to instruct a program to write its output into a pipe, which will then be read as input by the next program in the pipeline. Also known as stdout, the standard output is identified by the file descriptor

A logical channel for transmitting output for a command. By default, standard output is assigned to your screen. Standard output can be redirected to a file, a device, or a pipe. Standard output is file descriptor

The device to which a program or operating system normally sends its output. For UNIX commands this is usually the terminal. For Wisconsin Package programs (other than graphics programs) this is usually a file. For more information, see "Using Command-Line Redirection" in Chapter 1, Getting Started.

An output stream usually intended to be used for primary data output. X/Open. When programs are run interactively, standard output usually goes to the display unless redirection or piping is used, in which case standard output can go to a file or to another command.

the destination for information from a command. This is assumed to be the terminal display unless ouput is redirected or piped to a file or another command.

The destination of output data from a program. The standard output file is often called stdout. Standard output appears on the display unless it is redirected otherwise.

This is where the computer is sending any output by default. Generally this is the terminal, i.e. the computer monitor. It can be redirected to a printer or to a file. Back
