3.1 Introduction

The Format-Out module is a convenient repackaging of two libraries that provides a simple way to send text to the platform's standard output stream. For this purpose, Format-Out uses the Format module and the Standard-IO module and defines a function format-out. The Format-Out module exports all the identifiers described in this document. The Format-Out module re-exports two modules, format from the Format library and standard-io from the Standard-IO library.

Chapter 2, "The Format Module", and Chapter 6, "The Standard-IO Module" give full details of the Format and Standard-IO libraries.
