     window-system is a built-in function in `C source code'.
     (window-system &optional FRAME)

     The name of the window system that FRAME is displaying through.
     The value is a symbol---for instance, 'x' for X windows.
     The value is nil if Emacs is using a text-only terminal.

     FRAME defaults to the currently selected frame.
