+///
+/// Because we're not buffering, we write each one in turn, incurring the

+/// ```no_run

+/// A `Cursor` wraps another type and provides it with a
+/// [`Seek`] implementation.
+///
+/// `Cursor`s are typically used with in-memory buffers to allow them to
+/// implement [`Read`] and/or [`Write`], allowing these buffers to be used
+/// anywhere you might use a reader or writer that does actual I/O.
+///
+/// The standard library implements some I/O traits on various types which
+/// are commonly used as a buffer, like `Cursor<`[`Vec`]`<u8>>` and
+/// `Cursor<`[`&[u8]`][bytes]`>`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// We may want to write bytes to a [`File`] in our production
+/// code, but use an in-memory buffer in our tests. We can do this with
+/// `Cursor`:
+///
+/// [`Seek`]: trait.Seek.html
+/// [`Read`]: ../../std/io/trait.Read.html
+/// [`Write`]: ../../std/io/trait.Write.html
+/// [`Vec`]: ../../std/vec/struct.Vec.html
+/// [bytes]: ../../std/primitive.slice.html
+/// [`File`]: ../fs/struct.File.html
+///
+/// ```no_run
+/// use std::io::prelude::*;
+/// use std::io::{self, SeekFrom};
+/// use std::fs::File;

+/// A specialized [`Result`](../result/enum.Result.html) type for I/O
+/// operations.
+///
+/// This type is broadly used across `std::io` for any operation which may
+/// produce an error.
+///
+/// This typedef is generally used to avoid writing out `io::Error` directly and
+/// is otherwise a direct mapping to `Result`.
+///
+/// While usual Rust style is to import types directly, aliases of `Result`
+/// often are not, to make it easier to distinguish between them. `Result` is
+/// generally assumed to be `std::result::Result`, and so users of this alias
+/// will generally use `io::Result` instead of shadowing the prelude's import
+/// of `std::result::Result`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// A convenience function that bubbles an `io::Result` to its caller:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::io;
+///
+/// fn get_string() -> io::Result<String> {
+///     let mut buffer = String::new();
+///
+///     try!(io::stdin().read_line(&mut buffer));
+///
+///     Ok(buffer)
+/// }

+
+//! Traits, helpers, and type definitions for core I/O functionality.
+//!
+//! The `std::io` module contains a number of common things you'll need
+//! when doing input and output. The most core part of this module is
+//! the [`Read`] and [`Write`] traits, which provide the
+//! most general interface for reading and writing input and output.
+//!
+//! # Read and Write
+//!
+//! Because they are traits, [`Read`] and [`Write`] are implemented by a number
+//! of other types, and you can implement them for your types too. As such,
+//! you'll see a few different types of I/O throughout the documentation in
+//! this module: [`File`]s, [`TcpStream`]s, and sometimes even [`Vec<T>`]s. For
+//! example, `Read` adds a `read()` method, which we can use on `File`s:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let mut f = try!(File::open("foo.txt"));
+//! let mut buffer = [0; 10];
+//!
+//! // read up to 10 bytes
+//! try!(f.read(&mut buffer));
+//!
+//! println!("The bytes: {:?}", buffer);
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! [`Read`] and [`Write`] are so important, implementors of the two traits have a
+//! nickname: readers and writers. So you'll sometimes see 'a reader' instead
+//! of 'a type that implements the [`Read`] trait'. Much easier!
+//!
+//! ## Seek and BufRead
+//!
+//! Beyond that, there are two important traits that are provided: [`Seek`]
+//! and [`BufRead`]. Both of these build on top of a reader to control
+//! how the reading happens. [`Seek`] lets you control where the next byte is
+//! coming from:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//! use std::io::SeekFrom;
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let mut f = try!(File::open("foo.txt"));
+//! let mut buffer = [0; 10];
+//!
+//! // skip to the last 10 bytes of the file
+//! try!(f.seek(SeekFrom::End(-10)));
+//!
+//! // read up to 10 bytes
+//! try!(f.read(&mut buffer));
+//!
+//! println!("The bytes: {:?}", buffer);
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! [`BufRead`] uses an internal buffer to provide a number of other ways to read, but
+//! to show it off, we'll need to talk about buffers in general. Keep reading!
+//!
+//! ## BufReader and BufWriter
+//!
+//! Byte-based interfaces are unwieldy and can be inefficient, as we'd need to be
+//! making near-constant calls to the operating system. To help with this,
+//! `std::io` comes with two structs, [`BufReader`] and [`BufWriter`], which wrap
+//! readers and writers. The wrapper uses a buffer, reducing the number of
+//! calls and providing nicer methods for accessing exactly what you want.
+//!
+//! For example, [`BufReader`] works with the [`BufRead`] trait to add extra
+//! methods to any reader:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//! use std::io::BufReader;
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let f = try!(File::open("foo.txt"));
+//! let mut reader = BufReader::new(f);
+//! let mut buffer = String::new();
+//!
+//! // read a line into buffer
+//! try!(reader.read_line(&mut buffer));
+//!
+//! println!("{}", buffer);
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! [`BufWriter`] doesn't add any new ways of writing; it just buffers every call
+//! to [`write()`]:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//! use std::io::BufWriter;
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let f = try!(File::create("foo.txt"));
+//! {
+//!     let mut writer = BufWriter::new(f);
+//!
+//!     // write a byte to the buffer
+//!     try!(writer.write(&[42]));
+//!
+//! } // the buffer is flushed once writer goes out of scope
+//!
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Standard input and output
+//!
+//! A very common source of input is standard input:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let mut input = String::new();
+//!
+//! try!(io::stdin().read_line(&mut input));
+//!
+//! println!("You typed: {}", input.trim());
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! And a very common source of output is standard output:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! try!(io::stdout().write(&[42]));
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! Of course, using [`io::stdout()`] directly is less common than something like
+//! [`println!`].
+//!
+//! ## Iterator types
+//!
+//! A large number of the structures provided by `std::io` are for various
+//! ways of iterating over I/O. For example, [`Lines`] is used to split over
+//! lines:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//! use std::io::prelude::*;
+//! use std::io::BufReader;
+//! use std::fs::File;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! let f = try!(File::open("foo.txt"));
+//! let reader = BufReader::new(f);
+//!
+//! for line in reader.lines() {
+//!     println!("{}", try!(line));
+//! }
+//!
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Functions
+//!
+//! There are a number of [functions][functions-list] that offer access to various
+//! features. For example, we can use three of these functions to copy everything
+//! from standard input to standard output:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//!
+//! # fn foo() -> io::Result<()> {
+//! try!(io::copy(&mut io::stdin(), &mut io::stdout()));
+//! # Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! [functions-list]: #functions-1
+//!
+//! ## io::Result
+//!
+//! Last, but certainly not least, is [`io::Result`]. This type is used
+//! as the return type of many `std::io` functions that can cause an error, and
+//! can be returned from your own functions as well. Many of the examples in this
+//! module use the [`try!`] macro:
+//!
+//! ```
+//! use std::io;
+//!
+//! fn read_input() -> io::Result<()> {
+//!     let mut input = String::new();
+//!
+//!     try!(io::stdin().read_line(&mut input));
+//!
+//!     println!("You typed: {}", input.trim());
+//!
+//!     Ok(())
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The return type of `read_input()`, [`io::Result<()>`][`io::Result`], is a very
+//! common type for functions which don't have a 'real' return value, but do want to
+//! return errors if they happen. In this case, the only purpose of this function is
+//! to read the line and print it, so we use `()`.
+//!
+//! ## Platform-specific behavior
+//!
+//! Many I/O functions throughout the standard library are documented to indicate
+//! what various library or syscalls they are delegated to. This is done to help
+//! applications both understand what's happening under the hood as well as investigate
+//! any possibly unclear semantics. Note, however, that this is informative, not a binding
+//! contract. The implementation of many of these functions are subject to change over
+//! time and may call fewer or more syscalls/library functions.
