How to trick an application into thinking its stdout is a terminal, not a pipe

Question

I\'m trying to do the opposite of \"Detect if stdin is a terminal or pipe?\".

I\'m running an application that\'s changing its output format because it detects a pip

Answer 1

The unbuffer script that comes with Expect should handle this ok. If not, the application may be looking at something other than what its output is connected to, eg. what the TERM environment variable is set to.
