Ewe!
The only other mention of /dev/tty I see is in psql/command.c:
/* \s save history in a file or show it on the screen */
else if (strcmp(cmd, "s") == 0)
{
char *fname = scan_option(&string, OT_NORMAL, NULL, true);
success = saveHistory(fname ? fname : "/dev/tty");
if (success && !quiet && fname)
printf(gettext("Wrote history to %s.\n"), fname);
free(fname);
}
I can easily #ifdef around the /dev/tty open. Can someone comment on
what opening /dev/tty does on a Win32 machines without cygwin?
