I/O and Network

    Global variable referring to the standard out stream.

    Base.stderr — Constant.

    1. stderr

    Global variable referring to the standard error stream.

    Base.stdin — Constant.

    1. stdin

    Global variable referring to the standard input stream.

    Base.open — Function.

    1. open(f::Function, args...; kwargs....)

    Apply the function f to the result of open(args...; kwargs...) and close the resulting file descriptor upon completion.

    Examples

    1. julia> open("myfile.txt", "w") do io
    2.            write(io, "Hello world!")
    3.        end;
    5. julia> open(f->read(f, String), "myfile.txt")
    6. "Hello world!"
    8. julia> rm("myfile.txt")

    1. open(filename::AbstractString; keywords...) -> IOStream

    Open a file in a mode specified by five boolean keyword arguments:

    The default when no keywords are passed is to open files for reading only. Returns a stream for accessing the opened file.

    source

    1. open(filename::AbstractString, [mode::AbstractString]) -> IOStream

    Alternate syntax for open, where a string-based mode specifier is used instead of the five booleans. The values of mode correspond to those from fopen(3) or Perl open, and are equivalent to setting the following boolean groups:

    Examples

    1. julia> io = open("myfile.txt", "w");
    3. julia> write(io, "Hello world!");
    5. julia> close(io);
    7. julia> io = open("myfile.txt", "r");
    9. julia> read(io, String)
    10. "Hello world!"
    12. julia> write(io, "This file is read only")
    13. ERROR: ArgumentError: write failed, IOStream is not writeable
    14. [...]
    16. julia> close(io)
    18. julia> io = open("myfile.txt", "a");
    20. julia> write(io, "This stream is not read only")
    21. 28
    23. julia> close(io)
    25. julia> rm("myfile.txt")

    1. open(fd::OS_HANDLE) -> IO

    Take a raw file descriptor wrap it in a Julia-aware IO type, and take ownership of the fd handle. Call open(Libc.dup(fd)) to avoid the ownership capture of the original handle.

    Warn

    Do not call this on a handle that’s already owned by some other part of the system.

    source

    1. open(command, mode::AbstractString, stdio=devnull)

    Run command asynchronously. Like open(command, stdio; read, write) except specifying the read and write flags via a mode string instead of keyword arguments. Possible mode strings are:

    1. open(command, stdio=devnull; write::Bool = false, read::Bool = !write)

    Start running command asynchronously, and return a process::IO object. If read is true, then reads from the process come from the process’s standard output and stdio optionally specifies the process’s standard input stream. If write is true, then writes go to the process’s standard input and stdio optionally specifies the process’s standard output stream. The process’s standard error stream is connected to the current global stderr.

    source

    1. open(f::Function, command, args...; kwargs...)

    Similar to open(command, args...; kwargs...), but calls f(stream) on the resulting process stream, then closes the input stream and waits for the process to complete. Returns the value returned by f.

    Base.IOStream — Type.

    1. IOStream

    A buffered IO stream wrapping an OS file descriptor. Mostly used to represent files returned by .

    source

    — Type.

    1. IOBuffer([data::AbstractVector{UInt8}]; keywords...) -> IOBuffer

    Create an in-memory I/O stream, which may optionally operate on a pre-existing array.

    It may take optional keyword arguments:

    • read, write, append: restricts operations to the buffer; see open for details.
    • truncate: truncates the buffer size to zero length.
    • maxsize: specifies a size beyond which the buffer may not be grown.
    • sizehint: suggests a capacity of the buffer (data must implement sizehint!(data, size)).

    When data is not given, the buffer will be both readable and writable by default.

    Examples

    1. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    3. julia> write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.", " It has many members.")
    4. 56
    6. julia> String(take!(io))
    7. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization. It has many members."
    9. julia> io = IOBuffer(b"JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.")
    10. IOBuffer(data=UInt8[...], readable=true, writable=false, seekable=true, append=false, size=35, maxsize=Inf, ptr=1, mark=-1)
    12. julia> read(io, String)
    13. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization."
    15. julia> write(io, "This isn't writable.")
    16. ERROR: ArgumentError: ensureroom failed, IOBuffer is not writeable
    18. julia> io = IOBuffer(UInt8[], read=true, write=true, maxsize=34)
    19. IOBuffer(data=UInt8[...], readable=true, writable=true, seekable=true, append=false, size=0, maxsize=34, ptr=1, mark=-1)
    21. julia> write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.")
    22. 34
    24. julia> String(take!(io))
    25. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization"
    27. julia> length(read(IOBuffer(b"data", read=true, truncate=false)))
    28. 4
    30. julia> length(read(IOBuffer(b"data", read=true, truncate=true)))
    31. 0

    source

    1. flush(stream)

    Commit all currently buffered writes to the given stream.

    source

    — Function.

    1. write(io::IO, x)
    2. write(filename::AbstractString, x)

    Write the canonical binary representation of a value to the given I/O stream or file. Return the number of bytes written into the stream. See also to write a text representation (with an encoding that may depend upon io).

    You can write multiple values with the same write call. i.e. the following are equivalent:

    1. write(io, x, y...)
    2. write(io, x) + write(io, y...)

    Examples

    1. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    3. julia> write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.", " It has many members.")
    4. 56
    6. julia> String(take!(io))

    9. julia> write(io, "Sometimes those members") + write(io, " write documentation.")
    10. 44
    12. julia> String(take!(io))
    13. "Sometimes those members write documentation."

    User-defined plain-data types without write methods can be written when wrapped in a Ref:

    1. julia> struct MyStruct; x::Float64; end
    3. julia> io = IOBuffer()
    4. IOBuffer(data=UInt8[...], readable=true, writable=true, seekable=true, append=false, size=0, maxsize=Inf, ptr=1, mark=-1)

    1. IOContext

    IOContext provides a mechanism for passing output configuration settings among show methods.

    In short, it is an immutable dictionary that is a subclass of IO. It supports standard dictionary operations such as , and can also be used as an I/O stream.

    source

    — Method.

    1. IOContext(io::IO, KV::Pair...)

    Create an IOContext that wraps a given stream, adding the specified key=>value pairs to the properties of that stream (note that io can itself be an IOContext).

    • use (key => value) in io to see if this particular combination is in the properties set
    • use get(io, key, default) to retrieve the most recent value for a particular key

    The following properties are in common use:

    • :compact: Boolean specifying that small values should be printed more compactly, e.g. that numbers should be printed with fewer digits. This is set when printing array elements.
    • :limit: Boolean specifying that containers should be truncated, e.g. showing … in place of most elements.
    • :displaysize: A Tuple{Int,Int} giving the size in rows and columns to use for text output. This can be used to override the display size for called functions, but to get the size of the screen use the displaysize function.
    • :typeinfo: a Type characterizing the information already printed concerning the type of the object about to be displayed. This is mainly useful when displaying a collection of objects of the same type, so that redundant type information can be avoided (e.g. [Float16(0)] can be shown as “Float16[0.0]“ instead of “Float16[Float16(0.0)]“ : while displaying the elements of the array, the :typeinfo property will be set to Float16).
    • :color: Boolean specifying whether ANSI color/escape codes are supported/expected. By default, this is determined by whether io is a compatible terminal and by any --color command-line flag when julia was launched.

    Examples

    1. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    3. julia> printstyled(IOContext(io, :color => true), "string", color=:red)
    5. julia> String(take!(io))
    6. "\e[31mstring\e[39m"

    — Method.

    1. IOContext(io::IO, context::IOContext)

    Create an IOContext that wraps an alternate IO but inherits the properties of context.

    source

    — Method.

    1. show(x)

    Write an informative text representation of a value to the current output stream. New types should overload show(io::IO, x) where the first argument is a stream. The representation used by show generally includes Julia-specific formatting and type information.

    repr returns the output of show as a string.

    See also , which writes un-decorated representations.

    Examples

    1. julia> show("Hello World!")
    2. "Hello World!"
    3. julia> print("Hello World!")
    4. Hello World!

    source

    — Function.

    1. summary(io::IO, x)
    2. str = summary(x)

    Print to a stream io, or return a string str, giving a brief description of a value. By default returns string(typeof(x)), e.g. Int64.

    For arrays, returns a string of size and type info, e.g. 10-element Array{Int64,1}.

    Examples

    1. julia> summary(1)
    2. "Int64"
    4. julia> summary(zeros(2))
    5. "2-element Array{Float64,1}"

    Base.print — Function.

    Write to io (or to the default output stream if io is not given) a canonical (un-decorated) text representation. The representation used by print includes minimal formatting and tries to avoid Julia-specific details.

    print falls back to calling show, so most types should just define show. Define print if your type has a separate “plain” representation. For example, show displays strings with quotes, and print displays strings without quotes.

    string returns the output of print as a string.

    Examples

    1. Hello World!
    2. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    4. julia> print(io, "Hello", ' ', :World!)
    6. julia> String(take!(io))
    7. "Hello World!"

    Base.println — Function.

    1. println([io::IO], xs...)

    Print (using ) xs followed by a newline. If io is not supplied, prints to stdout.

    1. julia> println("Hello, world")
    2. Hello, world
    4. julia> io = IOBuffer();
    6. julia> println(io, "Hello, world")
    8. julia> String(take!(io))
    9. "Hello, world\n"

    Base.printstyled — Function.

    1. printstyled([io], xs...; bold::Bool=false, color::Union{Symbol,Int}=:normal)

    Print xs in a color specified as a symbol or integer, optionally in bold.

    color may take any of the values :normal, :default, :bold, :black, :blink, :blue, :cyan, :green, :hidden, :light_black, :light_blue, :light_cyan, :light_green, :light_magenta, :light_red, :light_yellow, :magenta, :nothing, :red, :reverse, :underline, :white, or :yellow or an integer between 0 and 255 inclusive. Note that not all terminals support 256 colors. If the keyword bold is given as true, the result will be printed in bold.

    Base.sprint — Function.

    1. sprint(f::Function, args...; context=nothing, sizehint=0)

    Call the given function with an I/O stream and the supplied extra arguments. Everything written to this I/O stream is returned as a string. context can be either an whose properties will be used, or a Pair specifying a property and its value. sizehint suggests the capacity of the buffer (in bytes).

    The optional keyword argument can be set to :key=>value pair or an IO or IOContext object whose attributes are used for the I/O stream passed to f. The optional sizehint is a suggested size (in bytes) to allocate for the buffer used to write the string.

    Examples

    1. julia> sprint(show, 66.66666; context=:compact => true)
    2. "66.6667"
    4. julia> sprint(showerror, BoundsError([1], 100))
    5. "BoundsError: attempt to access 1-element Array{Int64,1} at index [100]"

    Base.showerror — Function.

    1. showerror(io, e)

    Show a descriptive representation of an exception object e. This method is used to display the exception after a call to .

    Examples

    1. julia> struct MyException <: Exception
    2.            msg::AbstractString
    3.        end
    5. julia> function Base.showerror(io::IO, err::MyException)
    6.            print(io, "MyException: ")
    7.            print(io, err.msg)
    8.        end
    10. julia> err = MyException("test exception")
    11. MyException("test exception")
    13. julia> sprint(showerror, err)
    14. "MyException: test exception"
    16. julia> throw(MyException("test exception"))
    17. ERROR: MyException: test exception

    source

    — Function.

    1. dump(x; maxdepth=8)

    Show every part of the representation of a value. The depth of the output is truncated at maxdepth.

    Examples

    1. julia> struct MyStruct
    2.            x
    3.            y
    4.        end
    6. julia> x = MyStruct(1, (2,3));
    8. julia> dump(x)
    9. MyStruct
    10.   x: Int64 1
    11.   y: Tuple{Int64,Int64}
    12.     1: Int64 2
    13.     2: Int64 3
    15. julia> dump(x; maxdepth = 1)
    16. MyStruct
    17.   x: Int64 1
    18.   y: Tuple{Int64,Int64}

    source

    — Macro.

    1. @dump expr

    Show every part of the representation of the given expression. Equivalent to dump(:(expr)).

    Base.readline — Function.

    1. readline(io::IO=stdin; keep::Bool=false)
    2. readline(filename::AbstractString; keep::Bool=false)

    Read a single line of text from the given I/O stream or file (defaults to stdin). When reading from a file, the text is assumed to be encoded in UTF-8. Lines in the input end with '\n' or "\r\n" or the end of an input stream. When keep is false (as it is by default), these trailing newline characters are removed from the line before it is returned. When keep is true, they are returned as part of the line.

    Examples

    1. julia> open("my_file.txt", "w") do io
    2.            write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\nIt has many members.\n");
    3.        end
    4. 57
    6. julia> readline("my_file.txt")
    7. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization."
    9. julia> readline("my_file.txt", keep=true)
    10. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\n"
    12. julia> rm("my_file.txt")

    Base.readuntil — Function.

    1. readuntil(stream::IO, delim; keep::Bool = false)
    2. readuntil(filename::AbstractString, delim; keep::Bool = false)

    Read a string from an I/O stream or a file, up to the given delimiter. The delimiter can be a UInt8, AbstractChar, string, or vector. Keyword argument keep controls whether the delimiter is included in the result. The text is assumed to be encoded in UTF-8.

    Examples

    1. julia> open("my_file.txt", "w") do io
    2.            write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\nIt has many members.\n");
    3.        end
    4. 57
    6. julia> readuntil("my_file.txt", 'L')
    7. "Julia"
    9. julia> readuntil("my_file.txt", '.', keep = true)
    10. "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization."
    12. julia> rm("my_file.txt")

    Base.readlines — Function.

    1. readlines(io::IO=stdin; keep::Bool=false)
    2. readlines(filename::AbstractString; keep::Bool=false)

    Read all lines of an I/O stream or a file as a vector of strings. Behavior is equivalent to saving the result of reading repeatedly with the same arguments and saving the resulting lines as a vector of strings.

    Examples

    1. julia> open("my_file.txt", "w") do io
    2.            write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\nIt has many members.\n");
    3.        end

    12. 2-element Array{String,1}:
    13.  "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\n"
    14.  "It has many members.\n"
    16. julia> rm("my_file.txt")

    source

    — Function.

    1. eachline(io::IO=stdin; keep::Bool=false)
    2. eachline(filename::AbstractString; keep::Bool=false)

    Create an iterable EachLine object that will yield each line from an I/O stream or a file. Iteration calls readline on the stream argument repeatedly with keep passed through, determining whether trailing end-of-line characters are retained. When called with a file name, the file is opened once at the beginning of iteration and closed at the end. If iteration is interrupted, the file will be closed when the EachLine object is garbage collected.

    Examples

    1. julia> open("my_file.txt", "w") do io
    2.            write(io, "JuliaLang is a GitHub organization.\n It has many members.\n");
    3.        end;
    5. julia> for line in eachline("my_file.txt")
    6.            print(line)
    7.        end
    8. JuliaLang is a GitHub organization. It has many members.
    10. julia> rm("my_file.txt");

    Base.displaysize — Function.

    1. displaysize([io::IO]) -> (lines, columns)

    Return the nominal size of the screen that may be used for rendering output to this IO object. If no input is provided, the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS are read. If those are not set, a default size of (24, 80) is returned.

    Examples

    1. julia> withenv("LINES" => 30, "COLUMNS" => 100) do
    2.            displaysize()
    3.        end
    4. (30, 100)

    To get your TTY size,

    1. julia> displaysize(stdout)
    2. (34, 147)

    Just as text output is performed by print and user-defined types can indicate their textual representation by overloading , Julia provides a standardized mechanism for rich multimedia output (such as images, formatted text, or even audio and video), consisting of three parts:

    • A function display(x) to request the richest available multimedia display of a Julia object x (with a plain-text fallback).
    • Overloading allows one to indicate arbitrary multimedia representations (keyed by standard MIME types) of user-defined types.
    • Multimedia-capable display backends may be registered by subclassing a generic AbstractDisplay type and pushing them onto a stack of display backends via .

    The base Julia runtime provides only plain-text display, but richer displays may be enabled by loading external modules or by using graphical Julia environments (such as the IPython-based IJulia notebook).

    Base.Multimedia.AbstractDisplay — Type.

    1. AbstractDisplay

    Abstract supertype for rich display output devices. is a subtype of this.

    source

    — Function.

    1. display(x)
    2. display(d::AbstractDisplay, x)
    3. display(mime, x)
    4. display(d::AbstractDisplay, mime, x)

    AbstractDisplay x using the topmost applicable display in the display stack, typically using the richest supported multimedia output for x, with plain-text stdout output as a fallback. The display(d, x) variant attempts to display x on the given display d only, throwing a if d cannot display objects of this type.

    In general, you cannot assume that display output goes to stdout (unlike print(x) or ). For example, display(x) may open up a separate window with an image. display(x) means “show x in the best way you can for the current output device(s).” If you want REPL-like text output that is guaranteed to go to stdout, use show(stdout, "text/plain", x) instead.

    There are also two variants with a mime argument (a MIME type string, such as "image/png"), which attempt to display x using the requested MIME type only, throwing a MethodError if this type is not supported by either the display(s) or by x. With these variants, one can also supply the “raw” data in the requested MIME type by passing x::AbstractString (for MIME types with text-based storage, such as text/html or application/postscript) or x::Vector{UInt8} (for binary MIME types).

    Base.Multimedia.redisplay — Function.

    1. redisplay(x)
    2. redisplay(d::AbstractDisplay, x)
    3. redisplay(mime, x)
    4. redisplay(d::AbstractDisplay, mime, x)

    By default, the redisplay functions simply call . However, some display backends may override redisplay to modify an existing display of x (if any). Using redisplay is also a hint to the backend that x may be redisplayed several times, and the backend may choose to defer the display until (for example) the next interactive prompt.

    source

    — Function.

    1. displayable(mime) -> Bool
    2. displayable(d::AbstractDisplay, mime) -> Bool

    Returns a boolean value indicating whether the given mime type (string) is displayable by any of the displays in the current display stack, or specifically by the display d in the second variant.

    source

    — Method.

    1. show(io, mime, x)

    The display functions ultimately call show in order to write an object x as a given mime type to a given I/O stream io (usually a memory buffer), if possible. In order to provide a rich multimedia representation of a user-defined type T, it is only necessary to define a new show method for T, via: show(io, ::MIME"mime", x::T) = ..., where mime is a MIME-type string and the function body calls (or similar) to write that representation of x to io. (Note that the MIME"" notation only supports literal strings; to construct MIME types in a more flexible manner use MIME{Symbol("")}.)

    For example, if you define a MyImage type and know how to write it to a PNG file, you could define a function show(io, ::MIME"image/png", x::MyImage) = ... to allow your images to be displayed on any PNG-capable AbstractDisplay (such as IJulia). As usual, be sure to import Base.show in order to add new methods to the built-in Julia function show.

    The default MIME type is MIME"text/plain". There is a fallback definition for text/plain output that calls show with 2 arguments. Therefore, this case should be handled by defining a 2-argument show(io::IO, x::MyType) method.

    Technically, the MIME"mime" macro defines a singleton type for the given mime string, which allows us to exploit Julia’s dispatch mechanisms in determining how to display objects of any given type.

    The first argument to show can be an IOContext specifying output format properties. See for details.

    source

    — Function.

    1. showable(mime, x)

    Returns a boolean value indicating whether or not the object x can be written as the given mime type.

    (By default, this is determined automatically by the existence of the corresponding show method for typeof(x). Some types provide custom showable methods; for example, if the available MIME formats depend on the value of x.)

    Examples

    1. julia> showable(MIME("text/plain"), rand(5))
    2. true
    4. julia> showable("img/png", rand(5))
    5. false

    Base.repr — Method.

    1. repr(mime, x; context=nothing)

    Returns an AbstractString or Vector{UInt8} containing the representation of x in the requested mime type, as written by (throwing a MethodError if no appropriate show is available). An AbstractString is returned for MIME types with textual representations (such as "text/html" or "application/postscript"), whereas binary data is returned as Vector{UInt8}. (The function istextmime(mime) returns whether or not Julia treats a given mime type as text.)

    The optional keyword argument context can be set to :key=>value pair or an IO or object whose attributes are used for the I/O stream passed to show.

    As a special case, if x is an AbstractString (for textual MIME types) or a Vector{UInt8} (for binary MIME types), the repr function assumes that x is already in the requested mime format and simply returns x. This special case does not apply to the "text/plain" MIME type. This is useful so that raw data can be passed to display(m::MIME, x).

    In particular, repr("text/plain", x) is typically a “pretty-printed” version of x designed for human consumption. See also repr(x) to instead return a string corresponding to that may be closer to how the value of x would be entered in Julia.

    Examples

    1. julia> A = [1 2; 3 4];
    3. julia> repr("text/plain", A)
    4. "2×2 Array{Int64,2}:\n 1  2\n 3  4"

    source

    — Type.

    1. MIME

    A type representing a standard internet data format. “MIME” stands for “Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions”, since the standard was originally used to describe multimedia attachments to email messages.

    A MIME object can be passed as the second argument to show to request output in that format.

    Examples

    1. julia> show(stdout, MIME("text/plain"), "hi")
    2. "hi"

    Base.Multimedia.@MIME_str — Macro.

    1. @MIME_str

    A convenience macro for writing types, typically used when adding methods to show. For example the syntax show(io::IO, ::MIME"text/html", x::MyType) = ... could be used to define how to write an HTML representation of MyType.

    As mentioned above, one can also define new display backends. For example, a module that can display PNG images in a window can register this capability with Julia, so that calling display(x) on types with PNG representations will automatically display the image using the module’s window.

    In order to define a new display backend, one should first create a subtype D of the abstract class . Then, for each MIME type (mime string) that can be displayed on D, one should define a function display(d::D, ::MIME"mime", x) = ... that displays x as that MIME type, usually by calling show(io, mime, x) or . A MethodError should be thrown if x cannot be displayed as that MIME type; this is automatic if one calls show or repr. Finally, one should define a function display(d::D, x) that queries for the mime types supported by D and displays the “best” one; a MethodError should be thrown if no supported MIME types are found for x. Similarly, some subtypes may wish to override redisplay(d::D, ...). (Again, one should import Base.display to add new methods to display.) The return values of these functions are up to the implementation (since in some cases it may be useful to return a display “handle” of some type). The display functions for D can then be called directly, but they can also be invoked automatically from simply by pushing a new display onto the display-backend stack with:

    Base.Multimedia.pushdisplay — Function.

    1. pushdisplay(d::AbstractDisplay)

    Pushes a new display d on top of the global display-backend stack. Calling display(x) or display(mime, x) will display x on the topmost compatible backend in the stack (i.e., the topmost backend that does not throw a ).

    source

    — Function.

    1. popdisplay()
    2. popdisplay(d::AbstractDisplay)

    Pop the topmost backend off of the display-backend stack, or the topmost copy of d in the second variant.

    source

    — Type.

    1. TextDisplay(io::IO)

    Returns a TextDisplay <: AbstractDisplay, which displays any object as the text/plain MIME type (by default), writing the text representation to the given I/O stream. (This is how objects are printed in the Julia REPL.)

    source

    — Function.

    1. istextmime(m::MIME)

    Determine whether a MIME type is text data. MIME types are assumed to be binary data except for a set of types known to be text data (possibly Unicode).

    Examples

    1. julia> istextmime(MIME("text/plain"))
    2. true
    4. julia> istextmime(MIME("img/png"))
    5. false

    3. julia> bytesavailable(io)
    4. 34
