Query terminal ================= This kitten is used to query |kitty| from terminal programs about version, values of various runtime options controlling its features, etc. The querying is done using the (*semi*) standard XTGETTCAP escape sequence pioneered by xterm, so it works over SSH as well. The downside is that it is slow, since it requires a roundtrip to the terminal emulator and back. If you want to do some of the same querying in your terminal program without depending on the kitten, you can do so, by processing the same escape codes. Search `this page <https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html>`__ for *XTGETTCAP* to see the syntax for the escape code and read the source of this kitten to find the values of the keys for the various queries. .. include:: ../generated/cli-kitten-query_terminal.rst
