# Module ethcore_util::standard::io::prelude 1.0.0 [−] [src]

The I/O Prelude

The purpose of this module is to alleviate imports of many common I/O traits by adding a glob import to the top of I/O heavy modules:

    use std::io::prelude::*;

## Traits

## 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`)
