Functions
=========

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.Vte



.. function:: event_context_get_type() -> type

   










.. function:: get_encoding_supported(encoding: str) -> bool

   Queries whether the legacy encoding ``encoding`` is supported.

   If ICU support is not available, this function always returns :const:`False`.

   Note that UTF-8 is always supported; you can select it by
   passing :const:`None` to :func:`~gi.repository.Vte.Terminal.set_encoding`.



   .. versionadded:: 0.60




   .. deprecated:: 0.60
      Please do not use it in newly written code




   :param encoding: the name of the legacy encoding



   :return: :const:`True` iff the legacy encoding ``encoding`` is supported





.. function:: get_encodings(include_aliases: bool) -> list[str]

   Gets the list of supported legacy encodings.

   If ICU support is not available, this returns an empty vector.
   Note that UTF-8 is always supported; you can select it by
   passing :const:`None` to :func:`~gi.repository.Vte.Terminal.set_encoding`.



   .. versionadded:: 0.60




   .. deprecated:: 0.60
      Please do not use it in newly written code




   :param include_aliases: whether to include alias names



   :return: the list of supported encodings; free with
      :func:`~gi.repository.GLib.strfreev`





.. function:: get_feature_flags() -> ~gi.repository.Vte.FeatureFlags

   Gets features VTE was compiled with.



   .. versionadded:: 0.62






   :return: flags from :obj:`~gi.repository.Vte.FeatureFlags`





.. function:: get_features() -> str

   Gets a list of features vte was compiled with.



   .. versionadded:: 0.40






   :return: a string with features





.. function:: get_major_version() -> int

   Returns the major version of the VTE library at runtime.
   Contrast this with :const:`~gi.repository.Vte.MAJOR_VERSION` which represents
   the version of the VTE library that the code was compiled
   with.



   .. versionadded:: 0.40






   :return: the major version





.. function:: get_micro_version() -> int

   Returns the micro version of the VTE library at runtime.
   Contrast this with :const:`~gi.repository.Vte.MICRO_VERSION` which represents
   the version of the VTE library that the code was compiled
   with.



   .. versionadded:: 0.40






   :return: the micro version





.. function:: get_minor_version() -> int

   Returns the minor version of the VTE library at runtime.
   Contrast this with :const:`~gi.repository.Vte.MINOR_VERSION` which represents
   the version of the VTE library that the code was compiled
   with.



   .. versionadded:: 0.40






   :return: the minor version





.. function:: get_user_shell() -> str

   Gets the user's shell, or :const:`None`. In the latter case, the
   system default (usually "/bin/sh") should be used.








   :return: a newly allocated string with the
      user's shell, or :const:`None`





.. function:: pty_error_quark() -> int

   










.. function:: regex_error_quark() -> int
