//  console     = fopen("con",  "wt");       this worked under windows
//  console     = fopen("/dev/console",  "wt");     segmentation fault
    console     = fopen("/dev/tty0",  "wt");     returns zero

Writing in C, using Mint Linux. I want to talk to the console regardless of redirection of stdin & stdout.
