I am currently writing a program for the PC using C. I need to be able
to sense whether STDOUT has been redirected on the command line. In the
case where the output has not been redirected the program opens a text
window and displays the info in that window, but if output redirection
was used I want the program to output to STDOUT as it should assume that
the output is to be sent to a file.
Does anybody know how to sense whether output redirection has been used
on the command line?
