buildOutput :: VtyUserConfig -> WindowsSettings -> IO Output

Returns an Output for the terminal specified in WindowsSettings.

The specific Output implementation used is hidden from the API user. All terminal implementations are assumed to perform more, or less, the same. Currently, all implementations use terminfo for at least some terminal specific information.

If a terminal implementation is developed for a terminal without terminfo support then Vty should work as expected on that terminal.

Selection of a terminal is done as follows:

• If TERM starts with "xterm", "screen" or "tmux", use XTermColor.
• otherwise use the TerminfoBased driver.
