  • MPL variable/function for term size / line length ?

    From Mandarax@21:1/156 to All on Wed Nov 16 13:50:07 2022
    I am looking for what variable or function built into mpl will return the user's terminal line length or terminal size in general ? Basically, how to tell within mpl if the user is an 80 or 132 screen length. I figured it out using python, but I need to use a simply way to do it with a couple mpl scripts.

    Also, is there anywhere to find a global variable / user variable / function list of mpl anywhere?

    Thanks
