colordepth()

colordepth(<player|descriptor>)

Returns the colour depth a connection is sent:

Depth	Colour
0	none, or highlight only
4	the sixteen ANSI colours
8	the 256 xterm colours
24	full colour

It reads the same colour style as terminfo(), which takes the client and the player’s ANSI, COLOR, XTERM256 and TRUECOLOR flags into account. A player with more than one connection answers for the least idle one. Only the player on the connection and objects with See_All may ask.

colordepth() comes from TinyMUX, where 24 means a player with the HTML flag; here it means 24-bit colour.

Output: a client that draws 256 colours.
