term.current

Returns the current terminal object of the computer. This is useful to keep track of terminal objects when term.redirect was used.

ExampleReturn to the previous term

Finds a monitor, redirects the term object and afterwards redirects back to the original term.

Code

local mon = peripheral.find("monitor")
local previousTerm = term.current()
term.redirect(mon) -- Redirects the terminal object to a monitor.
term.write("Hello, World") -- This will show on the monitor
term.redirect(previousTerm) -- Redirects back to the original terminal object.

Output

Prints "Hello, World" on the first monitor peripheral.find discovers.
