Emacs - open terminal emulator buffer function

Question

I need function that opens terminal emulator buffer if none exists, in that case it switches to that buffer.

Does anyone know how to do this?

M-x term does exactly that. Use M-u M-x term if you want to force a new terminal buffer.

From elisp:

(term "/bin/bash")

M-x ansi-term is more... Well, Ansi. Allow for nifty pretty prompts (BTW take care of not making tramp trip over your fancy color prompt, this bit me just today when a C-x C-f /sudo::root@localhost:/someRootOnlyFile got stuck)
