A common practice in computing is to send error messages to a different output stream than [[User Output - text|normal text console messages]].
The normal messages print to what is called "standard output" or "standard out".
The error messages print to "standard error".
This separation can be used to redirect error messages to a different place than normal messages.
;Task: Show how to print a message to standard error by printing '''Goodbye, World!''' on that stream.

AWK
To print a message to standard error, pipe it through a shell command:
BEGIN {
print "Goodbye, World!"| "cat 1>&2"
}
Or write to /dev/stderr:
{{works with|gawk}} {{works with|mawk}} {{works with|nawk}}
BEGIN {
print "Goodbye, World!" > "/dev/stderr"
}
With ''gawk'', ''mawk'' and ''nawk'': a special feature associates "/dev/stderr" with standard error. The manuals of ''gawk'' and ''mawk'' describe this feature; ''nawk'' also has this feature.
Other implementations might try to open /dev/stderr as a file. Some Unix clones, like [[BSD]], have a /dev/stderr device node that duplicates standard error, so this code would still work. Some systems have no such device node, so this code would fail. We recommend "cat 1>&2", which is more portable, and works with any Unix clone.

Metafont has no a real way to send a text to the standard output/error nor to a file. Anyway it exists the <code>errmessage</code> command which will output an error message and prompt the user for action (suspending the interpretation of the source).
```metafont
errmessage "Error";
message "...going on..."; % if the user decides to go on and not to stop
% the program because of the error.

{{Works with|GNUstep}} {{Works with|Cocoa}}
In Objective-C one can use the standard C library and the stderr as in the C language; nonetheless a common way to output to stderr for logging purpose and/or error notification is the NSLog function, that works almost like fprintf(stderr, "..."), save for the fact that the format string is an NSString object, and it also prepends a timestamp.
int main()
{
fprintf(stderr, "Goodbye, World!\n");
fputs("Goodbye, World!\n", stderr);
NSLog(@"Goodbye, World!");
return 0;
}
OCaml
prerr_endline "Goodbye, World!"; (* this is how you print a string with newline to stderr *)
Printf.eprintf "Goodbye, World!\n"; (* this is how you would use printf with stderr *)
we can also use the ''out_channel'' '''stderr''':
output_string stderr "Goodbye, World!\n";
Printf.fprintf stderr "Goodbye, World!\n";
finally the [http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Unix.html Unix] module also provides unbuffered write functions:
let msg = "Goodbye, World!\n" in
ignore(Unix.write Unix.stderr msg 0 (String.length msg)) ;;

ooRexx
ooRexx provides a .error object that writes output to the standard error stream.
.error~lineout("Goodbye, World!")
The .error object is a proxy that delegates to a backing stream, so this might be redirected. By default, this delegates to the .stderr object, which can also be used directly.
.stderr~lineout("Goodbye, World!")

STDERR "Goodbye, World!"
PowerShell
Since PowerShell has a slightly different system of pipes and streams (to facilitate easy usage from a host application) the standard Write-Error cmdlet is mainly for sending annotated error messages to the host:
Write-Error "Goodbye, World!"
Note that this outputs more than just the message, because behind the scenes it is an uncaught exception:
Write-Error "Goodbye, World!" : Goodbye, World!
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException
To accurately reproduce the behavior of other languages one has to resort to .NET in this case:
[Console]::Error.WriteLine("Goodbye, World!")
PureBasic
[http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/console/consoleerror.html ConsoleError()] writes the message string (plus a newline) to the standard error output of current program.
Standard error output can be used in conjunction with [http://www.purebasic.com/documentation/process/readprogramerror.html ReadProgramError()] to reads a line from an other programs error output (stderr).

This version will work with those operating systems (hosts) that support stream output and a STDERR output
stream (by name).
If the '''stderr''' name is supported and enabled, the output is written to the terminal.
If not supported or disabled, the output is written to a (disk) file named '''STDERR'''.
call lineout 'STDERR', "Goodbye, World!"

Same as above, but uses a different style and also invokes '''charout''' instead of '''lineout'''.

However, all smalltalks provide a console named "Transcript", where diagnostics is usually sent to. Thus:

Note that it is only 2 characters different from the Assembly example on [[User Output - text]]
Prints "Goodbye, World!" to stderr (and there is probably an even simpler version):
section .data
msg db 'Goodbye, World!', 0AH
len equ $-msg
section .text
global _start
_start: mov edx, len
mov ecx, msg
mov ebx, 2
mov eax, 4

mov ebx, 1
mov eax, 1
int 80h

The terms "standard output" and "standard error" are not used, but it's trivial to send messages to a variety of devices by specifying their numbers. Normally messages are displayed on the text console, which is device 0. Instead, this example sends the message to the (first) printer, which is device 2.
code Text=12;
Text(2, "Goodbye, World!")

File.stderr.writeln("Goodbye, World!")
