# Write a file to stdout

Bun exposes `stdout` as a `BunFile` with the `Bun.stdout` property. Pass it as the destination to [`Bun.write()`](/runtime/file-io#writing-files-bun-write).

The following code writes a file to `stdout`, like the Unix `cat` command.

```ts cat.ts icon="https://mintcdn.com/bun-1dd33a4e-farm-47265618-file-slice-stream-hang/ZiIlD0efumrA_ap0/icons/typescript.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=ZiIlD0efumrA_ap0&q=85&s=d3ea8d53d37fb8d8e83641ee2f63f641" theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dracula"}}
const path = "/path/to/file.txt";
const file = Bun.file(path);
await Bun.write(Bun.stdout, file);
```
