Hi all:
Try to do some programming under Linux.
The programme I am writing is supposed to read all the char from a file via "command in line argument (i.e. agv)" and via redirection (i.e. read <FILE_NAME.
In my program, I have written:
FILE *stream;
stream = fopen(argv,"r");
if (stream==NULL) /*The file name is not in the command line argument*/
I am wondering what I should do now to check if there is a redirection stdin.
Many thanks

FILE *stream; if (argc < 2) { stream = stdin; } else { …

}This allows your program to take a file
> prog file.name
redirected file
>prog <file.name
or from the keyboard
>prog
