FUNCTIONS

detect_terminal([$flag]) => ANY

Return undef if not detected running under terminal.

Otherwise, return a hash of information, currently includes:

• emulator_engine => STR

• emulator_software => STR

  Currently Konsole and xterm can be detected through environment because they publish some environment variables.

  If $flag contains "p", will execute pstree to try to find out emulator software from parent process.

• color_depth => INT

  Either 0 (does not support ANSI color codes), 16, 256, or 16777216 (2**24).

• default_bgcolor => STR (6-hexdigit RGB)

  For example, any xterm is assumed to have white background (ffffff) by default, while Konsole is assumed to have black (000000).

• unicode => BOOL

  Whether terminal supports Unicode/wide characters.
