isatty
| Definition: | bool res = isatty(integer fn) |
| Description: |
Check whether stdin/stdout/stderr have been redirected.
fn: 0/1/2 for stdin/stdout/stderr respectively. Returns true if the specified device is connected to a terminal, false if it has been redirected. |
| pwa/p2js: | Not supported |
| Comments: | You may, for instance, wish to output much more detailed results to a file than the console, or use a much less human-readable format when the recipient is likely to be another program. |
| Example: |
printf(1,"stdin:%t, stdout:%t, stderr:%t\n",{isatty(0),isatty(1),isatty(2)})
--
-- p test ==> stdin:true, stdout:true, stderr:true
--
-- echo hello | p test ==> stdin:false, stdout:true, stderr:true
--
-- p test > test.txt; type test.txt ==> stdin:true, stdout:false, stderr:true
--
-- p test 2> test.txt ==> stdin:true, stdout:true, stderr:false

| Implementation: | See builtins\isatty.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
