11//! # The Rust Standard Library
12//!
13//! The Rust Standard Library provides the essential runtime
14//! functionality for building portable Rust software.
1a4d82fc 15//!
bd371182
AL
16//! The rust standard library is available to all rust crates by
17//! default, just as if contained an `extern crate std` import at the
18//! crate root. Therefore the standard library can be accessed in
19//! `use` statements through the path `std`, as in `use std::thread`,
20//! or in expressions through the absolute path `::std`, as in
21//! `::std::thread::sleep_ms(100)`.
1a4d82fc 22//!
bd371182
AL
23//! Furthermore, the standard library defines [The Rust
24//! Prelude](prelude/index.html), a small collection of items, mostly
25//! traits, that are imported into and available in every module.
1a4d82fc 26//!
bd371182 27//! ## What is in the standard library
1a4d82fc 28//!
bd371182
AL
29//! The standard library is minimal, a set of battle-tested
30//! core types and shared abstractions for the [broader Rust
d9579d0f 31//! ecosystem](https://crates.io) to build on.
1a4d82fc 32//!
bd371182
AL
33//! The [primitive types](#primitives), though not defined in the
34//! standard library, are documented here, as are the predefined
35//! [macros](#macros).
1a4d82fc 36//!
bd371182 37//! ## Containers and collections
1a4d82fc 38//!
bd371182
AL
39//! The [`option`](option/index.html) and
40//! [`result`](result/index.html) modules define optional and
41//! error-handling types, `Option` and `Result`. The
42//! [`iter`](iter/index.html) module defines Rust's iterator trait,
d9579d0f 43//! [`Iterator`](iter/trait.Iterator.html), which works with the `for`
bd371182 44//! loop to access collections.
1a4d82fc 45//!
c34b1796
AL
46//! The common container type, `Vec`, a growable vector backed by an array,
47//! lives in the [`vec`](vec/index.html) module. Contiguous, unsized regions
48//! of memory, `[T]`, commonly called "slices", and their borrowed versions,
49//! `&[T]`, commonly called "borrowed slices", are built-in types for which the
50//! [`slice`](slice/index.html) module defines many methods.
1a4d82fc
JJ
51//!
52//! `&str`, a UTF-8 string, is a built-in type, and the standard library
53//! defines methods for it on a variety of traits in the
54//! [`str`](str/index.html) module. Rust strings are immutable;
55//! use the `String` type defined in [`string`](string/index.html)
56//! for a mutable string builder.
57//!
58//! For converting to strings use the [`format!`](fmt/index.html)
59//! macro, and for converting from strings use the
60//! [`FromStr`](str/trait.FromStr.html) trait.
61//!
bd371182
AL
62//! Data may be shared by placing it in a reference-counted box or the
63//! [`Rc`][rc/index.html] type, and if further contained in a [`Cell`
64//! or `RefCell`](cell/index.html), may be mutated as well as shared.
65//! Likewise, in a concurrent setting it is common to pair an
66//! atomically-reference-counted box, [`Arc`](sync/struct.Arc.html),
67//! with a [`Mutex`](sync/struct.Mutex.html) to get the same effect.
68//!
69//! The [`collections`](collections/index.html) module defines maps,
70//! sets, linked lists and other typical collection types, including
71//! the common [`HashMap`](collections/struct.HashMap.html).
72//!
73//! ## Platform abstractions and I/O
1a4d82fc
JJ
74//!
75//! Besides basic data types, the standard library is largely concerned
76//! with abstracting over differences in common platforms, most notably
bd371182
AL
77//! Windows and Unix derivatives.
78//!
79//! Common types of I/O, including [files](fs/struct.File.html),
80//! [TCP](net/struct.TcpStream.html),
81//! [UDP](net/struct.UdpSocket.html), are defined in the
82//! [`io`](io/index.html), [`fs`](fs/index.html), and
83//! [`net`](net/index.html) modules.
84//!
85//! The [`thread`](thread/index.html) module contains Rust's threading
86//! abstractions. [`sync`](sync/index.html) contains further
87//! primitive shared memory types, including
88//! [`atomic`](sync/atomic/index.html) and
89//! [`mpsc`](sync/mpsc/index.html), which contains the channel types
90//! for message passing.
