Make programs think their stdout is a tty / terminal.

Build & Install

---------------

::

$ mkdir -p build && cd build

$ cmake ..

$ make

$ sudo make install

$ sudo ldconfig

Usage

-----

Just prefix your command with ``stdoutisatty``::

$ stdoutisatty ls --color=auto | less

Use a two-character environment variable ``ISATTY`` to specify whether you want stdout and/or stderr to be treated as a tty:

.. list-table::

   :header-rows: 1

   * - ``ISATTY`` value

     - which isatty

   * - ``yy``

     - stdout, stderr

   * - ``y.``

     - stdout

   * - ``.y``

     - stderr

``.`` indicates any characer other than (lower-cased) ``y``. Only the first two characters are examined (currently).
