I don't see what you are asking. As for fds 0, 1, 2, I haven't changed
them,
as you point out. As for terminal emulator, I'm using xterm.

But neither seem to relate to --options contents, except for batch,
no-tty,
and interactive.

To reiterate my question, what options affect interactiveness, assuming
--options presence itself doesn't affect it.
