Function std::io::stdin

pub fn stdin() -> Stdin

Constructs a new handle to the standard input of the current process.

Each handle returned is a reference to a shared global buffer whose access is synchronized via a mutex. If you need more explicit control over locking, see the lock() method.

Examples

Using implicit synchronization:

fn main() { use std::io::{self, Read}; fn foo() -> io::Result<String> { let mut buffer = String::new(); try!(io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut buffer)); Ok(buffer) } }

use std::io::{self, Read};

let mut buffer = String::new();
try!(io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut buffer));

Using explicit synchronization:

fn main() { use std::io::{self, Read}; fn foo() -> io::Result<String> { let mut buffer = String::new(); let stdin = io::stdin(); let mut handle = stdin.lock(); try!(handle.read_to_string(&mut buffer)); Ok(buffer) } }

use std::io::{self, Read};

let mut buffer = String::new();
let stdin = io::stdin();
let mut handle = stdin.lock();

try!(handle.read_to_string(&mut buffer));
