Detect if running in Termux

I noticed there is an environment variable TERMUX_VERSION, is the presence of this variable a reliable way to detect if a bash script is running in Termux?

Bro... I have already. I have seen that thread already and the two solutions in that thread seem unnecessarily janky. Detecting the presence of an environment variable would be much simpler than greping for a string in $PREFIX or checking for the presence of a command

or, like in the link i shared make your own variable

That is what I would do if I had complete control of the system, but I am doing this for a neovim plugin that other people will be using, and I don't want the setup to be unnecessarily complicated

All I want to know is if $TERMUX_VERSION is a variable that I can count on to be set in the Termux shell
