Use KernelPlatform.GetTerminalType() |
This analyzer provides the following strings:
| Context | String |
|---|---|
| Error List | Caller uses Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TERM") instead of KernelPlatform.GetTerminalType() |
| Suggestion Box | Use KernelPlatform.GetTerminalType() instead of Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TERM") |
| Description | KernelPlatform.GetTerminalType() is more readable and less verbose than Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TERM"). |
This code analyzer detects the usage of GetEnvironmentVariable("TERM") from the Environment class found in the System namespace.
GetEnvironmentVariable is a method to determine the terminal emulator and the terminal type. It's also a method to determine whether it's running on GNU Screen or on Tmux. However, we needed to increase the readability.
As a result, KernelPlatform implements a handful of terminal detection functions to simplify the complicated terminal checking statements to its simpler equivalent.
To get a brief insight about how this analyzer works, compare the two code blocks shown to you below:
public static void MyFunction()
{
var value = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TERM");
}
public static void MyFunction()
{
var value = KernelPlatform.GetTerminalType();
}
You can suppress this suggestion by including it in the appropriate place, whichever is convenient.

We recommend that every caller which use this function use the recommended abovementioned method.
