isatty

Synopsis:

          int isatty(int fd);

Request:

‘Fisatty,fd’

Return value:

Returns 1 if fd refers to the gdb console, 0 otherwise.

Errors:

EINTR

The call was interrupted by the user.

Note that the isatty call is treated as a special case: it returns 1 to the target if the file descriptor is attached to the gdb console, 0 otherwise. Implementing through system calls would require implementing ioctl and would be more complex than needed.
