This patch gives the ability to perf-record to detect when its stdout
has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
switch in this case.

However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
the specified output.

I guess we could have that in perf report as well? I.e. if stdin is a
FIFO...

Thanks, applied,

Yes, I noticed that too, perf-script is also a candidate.

I'll do.

perf record: auto detect when stdout is a pipe

This patch gives the ability to 'perf record' to detect when its stdout
has been redirected to a pipe. There's now no more need to add '-o -'
switch in this case.

However '-o <path>' option has always precedence, that is if specified
and stdout has been connected via a pipe then the output will go into
the specified output.
