Subject: How to find out if emacs is running inside GUI or terminal
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:16:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CANCBZJsP_z3zW5=TcwMGCVPfjxZ2LRivBdKW_wZLsWPa5d83BQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Is there a way to find out within emacs if it is running in a GUI or inside
a terminal (i.e. -nw switch specified on the cli)  using Elisp?

The reason is I would like to take different actions in my ~/.emacs
depending on the situation.

Thanks,

glg
