Stdout class

Stdout represents the IOSink for either stdout or stderr.

It provides a blocking IOSink, so using this to write will block until the output is written.

In some situations this blocking behavior is undesirable as it does not provide the same non-blocking behavior as dart:io in general exposes. Use the property nonBlocking to get an IOSink which has the non-blocking behavior.

This class can also be used to check whether stdout or stderr is connected to a terminal and query some terminal properties.

The addError API is inherited from StreamSink and calling it will result in an unhandled asynchronous error unless there is an error handler on done.

Implemented types

Properties

hasTerminal → bool
Returns true if there is a terminal attached to stdout.
read-only
nonBlocking → IOSink
Get a non-blocking IOSink.
read-only
supportsAnsiEscapes → bool
Whether connected to a terminal that supports ANSI escape sequences. [...]
read-only
terminalColumns → int
Get the number of columns of the terminal. [...]
read-only
terminalLines → int
Get the number of lines of the terminal. [...]
read-only
done → Future
Get a future that will complete when the consumer closes, or when an error occurs. This future is identical to the future returned by close.
read-only, inherited
encoding ↔ Encoding
The Encoding used when writing strings. Depending on the underlying consumer this property might be mutable.
read / write, inherited
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object. [...]
read-only, inherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
read-only, inherited

Methods

add(List<int> data) → void
Adds byte data to the target consumer, ignoring encoding. [...]
inherited
addError(Object error, [ StackTrace stackTrace ]) → void
Passes the error to the target consumer as an error event. [...]
inherited
addStream(Stream<List<int>> stream) → Future
Adds all elements of the given stream to this. [...]
inherited
close() → Future
Close the target consumer. [...]
inherited
flush() → Future
Returns a Future that completes once all buffered data is accepted by the underlying StreamConsumer. [...]
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
toString() → String
Returns a string representation of this object.
inherited
write(Object object) → void
Converts obj to a String by invoking Object.toString and adds the encoding of the result to the target consumer. [...]
inherited
writeAll(Iterable objects, [ String sep = "" ]) → void
Iterates over the given objects and writes them in sequence. [...]
inherited
writeCharCode(int charCode) → void
Writes the character of charCode. [...]
inherited
writeln([Object object = "" ]) → void
Converts obj to a String by invoking Object.toString and writes the result to this, followed by a newline. [...]
inherited

Operators

operator ==(dynamic other) → bool
The equality operator. [...]
