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.
