I have a UNIX application written in ansi C that writes data directly to a file. This file is specified by one of the argument parameters.
For testing purposes, I can use /dev/null for the filename, which effectively redirects the output to nothing.
I would like to be able to redirect the output to stdout by a similar method. Is this possible? If so, how? I’ve tried the following with no luck:
a.out -f /dev/ttys000
(where /dev/ttys000 was the tty specified by a ‘w’ listing)
/dev/stdout
