[C] Output to Separate Terminal

[40sTheme]

Hi,
I'm writing a program in C on Linux and I need child processes (forked) to send their output to a separate terminal window. I have googled numerous times and cannot figure it out...
I've tried opening /dev/pts/1 as a file stream and

fprintf(Child_Terminal, "text");

But this does not work, and I cannot think of another way to do it.
Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly, but using an 'execvp' (or execve) command and passing it "xterm" will open up a new X11 terminal window. I'm not entirely sure how to get a file descriptor over that particular window though.

Hmm.. still can't figure it out. I can't get the other terminal windows output as a file stream so I don't know how to put stdout to it.

I figured it out.

freopen("/dev/pts/2", "w", stdout);

For future reference.
