6.1 Introduction

This document describes the Standard-IO module, which requires the Streams module. All interfaces described in this document are exported from the Standard-IO module. The functionality provided by this module mirrors some of the functionality provided by the Java.io package in Java.

For convenience, the Standard-IO module, together with the Format module, is repackaged by the Format-out module. See Chapter 3, "The Format-Out Module" for details.
