I'm trying to duplicate the code in bash/test that checks that stdout is
a "terminal". Compiling and running the following:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <io.h>
int main( int ac, char **av ) {
printf( "isatty(stdout): %s\n", isatty( fileno(stdout) )? "yes" : "no" );
}
returns "no" when run in mintty but "yes" for cmd|tcc.
If I run bash or test from cmd|tcc, -t returns true >and< it returns
true when run from mintty.
I've downloaded the source for coreutils and bash but I can find nothing
that appears in any way special.
I noticed that ldd /usr/bin/test loads msys-2.0.dll while my program
above loads msvcrt.dll
Could that be the difference? If so, how would I compile&link my sample
program against msys-2.0.dll?
Or my real question: how can I tell if stdout is redirected or the
"terminal" from within a program?
