Does abt.exe have a stdout?

When we run abt.exe, it opens the Transcript (at least). But, does the running abt.exe have a stdout and stderr that could be caught and redirected by the command line used to start it?

I am aware of the -l ("ell") command line option. The documentation doesn't read like it is a real stdout.

You confused me hahhaha. You are talking about Windows concept abt.exe  and Unix concepts (stdout/stderr).  

 

I am aware of the -l ("ell") command line option. The documentation doesn't read like it is a real stdout.

The documentation https://www.instantiations.com/docs/90/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm#href=sg/stug50.html

says:

-lFILENAME

On Windows, this option causes terminal (TTY) output to be logged to the file FILENAME. The default is not to log TTY output. If -l is entered without a file name, the output goes to the file ESVMLOG.

On UNIX systems, use redirection of stdout and stderr instead of –l. For example, use > ESVMLOG 2>&1 to log to file ESVMLOG.

So... all you would need to do is:

TranscriptTTY default show: 'foo'.

But notice that you must use TranscriptTTY and not plain Transcript. 

Does this help?

Windows also has stdout and stderr. It's just that GUI applications tend to make no use of them.

But notice that you must use TranscriptTTY and not plain Transcript.

But, if I call a C library and it writes to stdout, where will it go?
