Stdout

Definitions

1. Standard output (file descriptor 1) — the default output stream where a process writes its normal results. It is line-buffered when connected to a terminal and fully buffered when piped to another process or redirected to a file.

   In plain English: The default channel where a program sends its regular output, which usually appears on your screen.

   Example: "Print the result to stdout and errors to stderr — that way users can redirect them independently."
