- MinTTY is a Windows-specific terminal emulator for the
- widely used Cygwin and MSYS projects, which provide
- Unix-like environments for Windows. MinTTY consoles behave
- differently from native Windows consoles (such as
- @cmd.exe@ or PowerShell) in many ways, and in some cases,
- these differences make it necessary to treat MinTTY
- consoles differently in code.
-
- The @mintty@ library provides a simple way to detect if
- your code in running in a MinTTY console on Windows. It
- exports @isMinTTY@, which does the right thing 90% of the
- time (by checking if standard error is attached to
- MinTTY), and it also exports @isMinTTYHandle@ for the
- other 10% of the time (when you want to check is some
- arbitrary handle is attached to MinTTY). As you might
- expect, both of these functions will simply return @False@
- on any non-Windows operating system.
