Detecting the output stream type of a shell script

Question

I\'m writing a shell script that uses ANSI color characters on the command line.

Example: example.sh

#!/bin/tcsh
printf \"\\033[31m Succ         


        

Answer 1

As far as I know, there is no way to determine the final destination of the output of your shell script; the only thing you can do is provide a switch which allows for suppression of control characters in the output.
