When I run both in an xterm in an X windowing system and in a console
with no X:
$ /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -D --terminal
we see
emacs: Option `--terminal' requires an argument
so the documentation in
(info "(emacs)Initial Options")
is wrong. It says:
`-t DEVICE'
`--terminal=DEVICE'
Use DEVICE as the device for terminal input and output.
`--terminal' implies `--no-window-system'.
However, the following succeeds in both:
`-nw'
`--no-window-system'
Don't communicate directly with the window system, disregarding the
`DISPLAY' environment variable even if it is set. This means that
Emacs uses the terminal from which it was launched for all its
display and input.
