stdout or stderr file path on iPhone?

Hi,

is there a file path to the console output - visible in Xcode, e.g. when calling NSLog, I think it's stderr - on the iPhone?
I tried "/dev/stderr" or "/dev/fd/2" (and several other paths) but they do not work and if I get the directory contents of "/dev" they really don't exist on iOS.

stdout and stderr of the stdlib work fine, but they don't reveal their corresponding file paths (if there is any), if I see it right. But I really need a file path; a file handle or FILE struct does not help any further.

Background: I have a third party library (that I am not allowed to change) that logs to a file in Debug mode. I want to see this log output directly in the Xcode console, because transferring log files from the iPhone is too complicated. The library provides an API to set the file path (unfortunately not a file handle or something else).

Any ideas?

Regards,
Mani
