Use <code>isatty()</code> on file descriptor to determine if it's a TTY. To get the file descriptor from a <code>FILE*</code> pointer, use <code>fileno</code>:

But, correctness requires us to keep in mind that these will only be heuristics, and will sometimes be incorrect (hopefully not often enough to matter a lot...).

{{works with|Lua|5.1+}}

Using pure Lua, assuming a *NIX-like runtime environment ...

fd = tonumber( fd ) or 1

local ok, exit, signal = os.execute( string.format( "test -t %d", fd ) )

 

You can accomplish the same results using the luaposix [https://github.com/luaposix/luaposix] library:

 

local function isTTY ( fd )

 

The output of this version is identical to the output of the first version.

=={{header|Nemerle}}==

There is no explicit way (ie <tt>isatty()</tt>)to do this; however, if we ''assume'' that standard out ''is'' a terminal, we can check if the output stream has been redirected (presumably to something other than a terminal).

=={{header|Nim}}==

Using function "isatty" of standard module "terminal" which accepts a File as argument.

As we want to redirect stdout, we write the messages on stderr.

 

 

stderr.write if stdout.isatty: "stdout is a terminal\n" else: "stdout is not a terminal\n"</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|Tcl}}==

To detect whether output is going to a terminal in Tcl, you check whether the <code>stdout</code> channel looks like a serial line (as those are indistinguishable from terminals). The simplest way of doing that is to see whether you can read the <tt>-mode</tt> or <code>-xchar</code> channel options, which are only present on serial channels:

puts [expr {$toTTY ? "Output goes to tty" : "Output doesn't go to tty"}]</syntaxhighlight>

At the system call level, when Tcl is setting up the channels that correspond to the underlying <tt>stdout</tt> (and <tt>stdin</tt> and <tt>stderr</tt>) file descriptors, it checks whether the channels are network sockets (with <code>getsockname()</code>) or serial lines (with <code>isatty()</code>). This allows Tcl scripts to find out information about their calling environment (e.g., when they are run from <tt>inetd</tt>) with minimal code.

===Channel type discovery with older Tcl versions===

Before Tcl 8.4, this discovery process is impossible; <code>stdout</code> always looks like it is going to a file. With 8.4, you can discover the channel type but you need slightly different (and less efficient, due to the thrown error in the non-tty case) code to do it.

As there is currently no way to obtain this information via Wren CLI, we instead embed a Wren script in a C application and ask the host program to get it for us.

 

class C {

We now embed this Wren script in the following C program, compile and run it.

#include <unistd.h>

#include <stdio.h>

WrenVM* vm = wrenNewVM(&config);

const char* module = "main";

char *script = readFile(fileName);

WrenInterpretResult result = wrenInterpret(vm, module, script);
