request_term_type

NAME

request_term_type() - ask the client for its terminal type

SYNOPSIS

void request_term_type();

DESCRIPTION

Asks current_object's client for its terminal type by sending a telnet
TTYPE (terminal-type) request, then flushes pending output. The client's
response is handled by the driver's telnet layer.

If current_object is not interactive, request_term_type() does nothing and a
warning is emitted.

Note: request_term_type() should only be called from within a user object.
