STDIN Devie File Name and Location

Hi all,
I want to know the device filename of STDIN in AIX.
On other platforms(Linux and solaris), the device file for stdin is available at /dev/ directory as "/dev/stdin".
But i didn't find any filename for STDIN at /dev/ directory in AIX.

Please let me know the name and location of device file of STDIN in AIX.

Thanks

regards,
Srikrishna Erra.

There is no such device file on AIX.

i am trying to open a file pointer for stdin using fopen() and setting code character set as UTF16. Ofcourse STDIN itself is a File Pointer but my intention was to set UTF16 as code charset for stdin and fopen() is the only one will achieve that.

I have following code

fp=fopen("/dev/stdin","r,ccs=UTF-16LE");

Here device file for stdin is /dev/stdin and is available on all platforms except on HPUX and AIX.

For fopen(), file name is must i.e. /dev/stdin for stdin.

Please let me know how to achieve above functionality (fopen code given above).

Could you get around this by using a "mkfifo" pipe?
