Description
When called with a file name, it opens the named file (in text mode), and sets its handle as the default output file.
When called with a file handle, it simply sets this file handle as the default output file.
When called without parameters, it returns the current default output file. <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> (file) = io.output(file) </source>
In case of errors this function raises the error, instead of returning an error code.
