### Important traits for Stdin

`impl Read for Stdin`

    pub fn stdin() -> Stdin

Constructs a new handle to the standard input of the current process.

Each handle returned is a reference to a shared global buffer whose access is synchronized via a mutex. If you need more explicit control over locking, see the `lock() method`.

# Examples

Using implicit synchronization:

    use std::io::{self, Read};

    let mut buffer = String::new();
    io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut buffer)?;Run

Using explicit synchronization:

    use std::io::{self, Read};

    let mut buffer = String::new();
    let stdin = io::stdin();
    let mut handle = stdin.lock();

    handle.read_to_string(&mut buffer)?;Run

## 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`)
