.. _cmd-isatty:

isatty - test if a file descriptor is a tty.
============================================

Synopsis
--------

isatty [FILE DESCRIPTOR]


Description
-----------

``isatty`` tests if a file descriptor is a tty.

``FILE DESCRIPTOR`` may be either the number of a file descriptor, or one of the strings ``stdin``, ``stdout``, or ``stderr``.

If the specified file descriptor is a tty, the exit status of the command is zero. Otherwise, the exit status is non-zero. No messages are printed to standard error.


Examples
--------

From an interactive shell, the commands below exit with a return value of zero:


::

    isatty
    isatty stdout
    isatty 2
    echo | isatty 1


And these will exit non-zero:


::

    echo | isatty
    isatty 9
    isatty stdout > file
    isatty 2 2> file
