\subsection isatty-description Description
`isatty` tests if a file or file descriptor is a tty. The argument may be in the form of a file path, device, or file descriptor number. Without an argument, `standard input` is implied.
`isatty` tests if a file descriptor is a tty.
If the resolved file descriptor is a tty, the command returns zero. Otherwise, the command exits one. No messages are printed to standard error.
`FILE DESCRIPTOR` may be either the number of a file descriptor, or one of the strings `stdin`, `stdout`, or `stderr`.
If the specified file descriptor is a tty, the exit status of the command is zero. Otherwise, the exit status is non-zero. No messages are printed to standard error.
