it depends on which file descriptor you write to. the process inherits file descriptors 0,1,2 from the shell that starts it. in the POSIX/Unix/Linux world, 0 is stdin, 1 is stdout, 2 is stderr. as i understand it, where Windows implements these functions it does it the same way. if you open "/dev/tty", you get a new file descriptor (3 or higher). open it for output and write to it and the output goes to the emulated terminal.
