Expand description

Prints to the standard error, with a newline.

Equivalent to the println! macro, except that output goes toio::stderr instead of io::stdout. See println! for example usage.

Use eprintln! only for error and progress messages. Use println!instead for the primary output of your program.

See the formatting documentation in std::fmtfor details of the macro argument syntax.

§Panics

Panics if writing to io::stderr fails.

Writing to non-blocking stderr can cause an error, which will lead this macro to panic.

§Examples

eprintln!("Error: Could not complete task");
