Emacs can use coding systems to decode keyboard input and encode terminal output. This is useful for terminals that transmit or display text using a particular encoding, such as Latin-1. Emacs does not set last-coding-system-used
when encoding or decoding terminal I/O.
This function returns the coding system used for decoding keyboard input from terminal. A value of no-conversion
means no decoding is done. If terminal is omitted or nil
, it means the selected frame’s terminal. See Multiple Terminals.
This command specifies coding-system as the coding system to use for decoding keyboard input from terminal. If coding-system is nil
, that means not to decode keyboard input. If terminal is a frame, it means that frame’s terminal; if it is nil
, that means the currently selected frame’s terminal. See Multiple Terminals.
This function returns the coding system that is in use for encoding terminal output from terminal. A value of no-conversion
means no encoding is done. If terminal is a frame, it means that frame’s terminal; if it is nil
, that means the currently selected frame’s terminal.
