Description

       The isatty() function tests whether fd is an open file descriptor referring to a terminal.

Errors

EBADFfd is not a valid file descriptor.

       ENOTTYfd refers to a file other than a terminal.  On some older kernels, some types of files resulted in
              the error EINVAL in this case (which is a violation of POSIX, which specifies the error ENOTTY).

History

       POSIX.1-2001, SVr4, 4.3BSD.

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Name

       isatty - test whether a file descriptor refers to a terminal

Return Value

isatty() returns 1 if fd is an open file descriptor referring to a terminal; otherwise 0 is returned, and
       errno is set to indicate the error.
