Recognize Vim terminal buffers

[Lifepillar]

Is there any way yet to recognize that a window's buffer is a
terminal buffer (say, to define a custom status line)?

To be clear, I am talking about the terminal feature currently under
development in Vim.

Thanks,
Life.

You can check the buftype option, which should be terminal as long as
the job is still running or use something like

index(term_list(), bufnr('')) > -1


Best,
Christian

Thanks, both work even after the job is finished.

Wouldn't it make sense to also set filetype to vim_terminal or something
like that, to take advantage of ftdetect?

The text in the window can be anything. A filetype is set if we know
what kind of text there is. So setting the filetype for a terminal is
unexpected.
