Question:

WriteLn writes to STDOUT. How do I write to STDERR, the standard error output?

Answer:

Use the predefined text file variable ErrOutput as shown in the example code below. This has been around since Turbo Pascal 1.0.


	// standard output, the next two are equivalent WriteLn('Standard Output'); WriteLn(Output, 'Standard Output'); // writing to standard error output WriteLn(ErrOutput, 'Error Output');
