name (current_output) returns the absolute path and the file name where the output data goes. Something like /home/mike/tmp/dummy.txt. It is not exactly what I was looking for but, however it solves my problem.
The interesting question is: What does name (current_output) return if the current_output is the standard_output ? Under Linux/UNIX one would expect something like /dev/tty... But what under Windows ?
