# Method Stdio.Terminfo.getTerm()

Method getTerm

  `Termcap getTerm(string|void term)`

Description

  Returns an object describing the terminal term. If term is not specified, it will default to getenv("TERM") or if that fails to "dumb".

  Lookup of terminal information will first be done in the systems terminfo database, and if that fails in the termcap database. If neither database exists, a hardcoded entry for "dumb" will be used.
