Mongoexport exported files?

I'm new with mongodb. I just used the command mongoexport as follows:

mongoexport -d databasename -c collectionname

operation completed within few minutes, (around 300k documents exported) however I see no files anywhere. I've checked the current folder (as I thought it's runnnig as mongodump) but it seems empty as well.

Did I need to specify a folder? Where are the exported files located?

If you're using windows, add the mongoDB path to your environment variables and choose your directori, for example: Open cmd as admin,

cd C:\Users\Test

After that run:

mongoexport -u admin -p password--host hostname:port -d databasename -c collection --authenticationDatabase admin -o test.csv

You will have your file in 

C:\Users\Test

As specify in the documentation

If you do not specify a file name, the mongoexport writes data to standard output (e.g. stdout).

You need to specify a file to write the export to using the --out option.
