NodeJS module to query terminal for terminfo capabilities using XTGETTCAP

# query-terminal

> Query for terminfo capabilities using XTGETTCAP

## Install

```shell
npm install query-terminal
```

## Usage

```js
import { queryTerminal } from "query-terminal";

const answer = await queryTerminal(`<some capability>`);
console.log(answer);
```

## Context

The [supports-hyperlink] issue about [Kitty support][kitty-support] led me to
[Kitty’s _Query terminal_ docs][kitty-docs] and [XTerm Control
Sequences][xterm-control-sequences]. I figured I would publish my script as a
module, lest I forget everything I learned about XTGETTCAP in Node.
