Check input device is a terminal is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

In this task, the job is to check whatever input filehandle comes from terminal and mention whatever input comes from it or not.

Perl

<lang perl>use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; if (-t) {

   say "Input comes from tty.";

} else {

   say "Input doesn't come from tty.";

}</lang>

$ perl istty.pl
Input comes from tty.
$ true | perl istty.pl
Input doesn't come from tty.

Perl 6

<lang perl6>say $*IN.t ?? "Input comes from tty." !! "Input doesn't come from tty.";</lang>

$ perl6 istty.p6
Input comes from tty.
$ true | perl6 istty.p6
Input doesn't come from tty.
