uln% ri IO#tty?
---------------------------------------------------------------- IO#tty?
     ios.isatty   => true or false
     ios.tty?     => true or false
------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Returns +true+ if _ios_ is associated with a terminal device (tty),
     +false+ otherwise.

        File.new("testfile").isatty   #=> false
        File.new("/dev/tty").isatty   #=> true

uln% 

W> -B : file is binary
