DESCRIPTION

kjb_isatty is very similar to the isatty, except that error reporting is made consistent with the other library routines, and the error messages are more meaningfull.

RETURNS

On failure an error message is set, and ERROR is returned. Otherwise the file position is retuned.

BUGS

This function has not been vetted for being re-entrant / thread safe. See also isatty(2) for bugs as this routine basically wraps that one.

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
