Okay, let's say I have an exotic os that limits how much goes to
stdout.

Be clear about what you're asking. Is this hypothetical
limit the result of a limit imposed on the tty to which
your particular program's stdout is attached? Remember,
stdout is *not* your screen and stdin is *not* your
keyboard. Often, shells will invoke a program so
that stdout is associated with the screen and
stdin is associated with the keyboard, but it
is a horrible thing to ruin your mind by conflating
them.

In other words: on this hypothetical platform, do
you expect the same behavior when you redirect your
output to different file types?


In this case I'm not allow to redirect the standard output. Here is
what happens when I try..
% ./out > testfile
standard output may not be redirected

I get the same message when I try to pipe.
