I am trying to detect uniquely when one of the following situations occurs
in a C program. I have tried isatty(3) but cannot distinguish between a),
b), and c) below. Any helpful pointers would be appreciated.
a) The standard input has been re-directed in a foreground process
b) The standard input has been re-directed in a background process
c) No re-direction of standard input in a background process
d) No re-direction of standard input in a foreground process
