# Function collections::fmt::write 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub fn write(output: &mut Write, args: Arguments) -> Result<(), Error>

The `write` function takes an output stream, a precompiled format string, and a list of arguments. The arguments will be formatted according to the specified format string into the output stream provided.

# Arguments

- output - the buffer to write output to
- args - the precompiled arguments generated by `format_args!`

# Examples

Basic usage:

fn main() { use std::fmt; let mut output = String::new(); fmt::write(&mut output, format_args!("Hello {}!", "world")) .expect("Error occurred while trying to write in String"); assert_eq!(output, "Hello world!"); }

    use std::fmt;

    let mut output = String::new();
    fmt::write(&mut output, format_args!("Hello {}!", "world"))
        .expect("Error occurred while trying to write in String");
    assert_eq!(output, "Hello world!");

Please note that using `write!` might be preferrable. Example:

fn main() { use std::fmt::Write; let mut output = String::new(); write!(&mut output, "Hello {}!", "world") .expect("Error occurred while trying to write in String"); assert_eq!(output, "Hello world!"); }

    use std::fmt::Write;

    let mut output = String::new();
    write!(&mut output, "Hello {}!", "world")
        .expect("Error occurred while trying to write in String");
    assert_eq!(output, "Hello world!");

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
