# 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.
