How do you determine the running environment while in emacs?

How do you determine the running environment while in emacs?

[Mason Smith]

I'd like to write some code for .emacs buffer that will only run if
I'm not in terminal window. How can I tell from inside emacs whether
or not I'm running in a terminal? I've looked around the emacs manual
but can't seem to find anything.

window-system is a variable defined in `C source code'.
Its value is x


Documentation:
Name of window system that Emacs is displaying through.
The value is a symbol--for instance, `x' for X windows.
The value is nil if Emacs is using a text-only terminal.

If window-system is undefined, i.e., nil.
