pipetty - a tool to pipe from a pseudoterminal

       Certain programs, such as bash, don't quite like their stdin to be on a different terminal than stdout.

pipetty  lets you make a program unaware that its output is being redirected.  This is usually useful for
       tools that detect whether they're run from a terminal and modify their output,  typically  colorizing  it
       only when run interactively.

       Usually,  disabling colors when redirected is a good thing as most tools can't cope with ANSI codes.  Use
       pipetty when you do want colors, like when you're going to feed that output to ansi2html or less-R.
