Can be useful to determine whether output is being piped elsewhere, for PHP shell scripts, for example;
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
if ( !posix_isatty(STDOUT) ) {
fwrite(STDOUT, "Invalid TTY\n");
exit(2);
}
fwrite(STDOUT, "Enter you name\n");
$name = fgets(STDIN);
fwrite(STDOUT,"Hello $name\n");
exit(0);
?>
If this script is like:
script.php > outfile
outfile will contain "Invalid TTY"
It's quite complicated to understand its movements. But it determines if the file_descriptor is open AND connected to a terminal.
Thus, while receiving data from the STDIN, for example, it will return false.
This move is useful to optionally pipe STDIN to a PHP script, to avoid hanging when nothing is from STDIN.
<?php
// Simply echoes the contents from STDIN if any
// and "no stdin" if not.
echo (posix_isatty(STDIN)) ? 'no stdin' . PHP_EOL : file_get_contents('php://stdin');
?>
