# Write a file to stdout

Bun exposes `stdout` as a `BunFile` with the `Bun.stdout` property. This can be used as a destination for [`Bun.write()`](/runtime/file-io#writing-files-bun-write).

This code writes a file to `stdout` similar to the `cat` command in Unix.

```ts cat.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-dc5e99a7-serve-route-target-normalization/irnPaIf5BInKUovc/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=irnPaIf5BInKUovc&q=85&s=749f5ca3fc8733d63266eddb19569000" theme={null}
const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
const file = Bun.file(path);
await Bun.write(Bun.stdout, file);
```
