Crate is_terminal

is-terminal is a simple utility that answers one question:

Is this a terminal?

A “terminal”, also known as a “tty”, is an I/O device which may be interactive and may support color and other special features. This crate doesn’t provide any of those features; it just answers this one question.

On Unix-family platforms, this is effectively the same as the isatty function for testing whether a given stream is a terminal, though it accepts high-level stream types instead of raw file descriptors.

On Windows, it uses a variety of techniques to determine whether the given stream is a terminal.

Example

use is_terminal::IsTerminal;

if std::io::stdout().is_terminal() {
    println!("stdout is a terminal")
}
