Why 'msbuild' command doesn't redirect its output to Preview app, while 'man' command does?
0
When I open the 'Terminal' from my 'El Capitan' OS X, and issue the following command:
$man -t cd | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app
It opens the Preview app with the documentation of 'cd'. But when I issue the following command:
$msbuild | open -f -a /Applications/Preview.app
It just opens the Preview with NOTHING. While 'msbuild' itself outputs the following in Terminal:
$ msbuild

Is there any parameter should be passed to 'msbuild' to make the Preview open with the same output?

You can not "open" console-based std-out|err in preview, you could redirect the output to a text file and then open that in preview.
