C0 control codes

Almost all users assume some functions of some single-byte characters. Initially defined as part of ASCII, the default C0 control code set is now defined in ISO 6429 (ECMA-48 ), making it part of the same standard as the C1 set invoked by the ANSI escape sequences (although ISO 2022 allows the ISO 6429 C0 set to be used without the ISO 6429 C1 set, and vice versa, provided that 0x1B is always ESC ). This is used to shorten the amount of data transmitted, or to perform some functions that are unavailable from escape sequences:

Escape sequences vary in length. The general format for an ANSI-compliant escape sequence is defined by ANSI X3.41 (equivalent to ECMA-35 or ISO/IEC 2022「」[< https://standards.globalspec.com/std/293044/ansi-x3-41 >This Stencil型板、原紙［＾謄写版［ステンシル］で～を＾刷る(印刷する )? ］ app is disabled for this browser., < http://kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yasuoka/publications/ISCIE2004.pdf >[PDF ] ANSIキー配列の制定に至るまで - 漢字情報研究センター - 京都大学{1988 年 1 月 27 日に制定された ANSI X3.154-1988. } ] ). The escape sequences consist only of bytes in the range 0x20—0x7F (all the non-control ASCII characters), and can be parsed without looking ahead. The behavior when a control character, a byte with the high bit set, or a byte that is not part of any valid sequence, is encountered before the end is undefined.

Fe Escape sequences

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x40 to 0x5F, the escape sequence is of type Fe. Its interpretation is delegated to the applicable C1 control code< https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%B6%E5%BE%A1%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97 >/wiki/制御文字{制御文字にどのような文字コードを割り当てるかは、ASCII、EBCDICなどの文字コード体系により異なる. ASCIIでは0から31および127が制御文字に割り当てられている（技術的にはこれをC0制御コード（英語版 ）という ）ISO 8859で定義される拡張ASCIIでは、これに128から159までの制御文字を追加した。これは C1制御コード（< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes >英語版 ）と呼ばれる. }　standard. Accordingly, all escape sequences corresponding to C1 control codes from ANSI X3.64 / ECMA-48 follow this format.

The standard says that, in 8-bit environments, the control functions corresponding to type Fe escape sequences (those from the set of C1 control codes ) can be represented as single bytes in the 0x80–0x9F range. This is possible in character encodings conforming to the provisions for an 8-bit code made in ISO 2022, such as the ISO 8859 series. However, in character encodings used on modern devices such as UTF-8 or CP-1252, those codes are often used for other purposes, so only the 2-byte sequence is typically used. In the case of UTF-8, representing a C1 control code via the C1 Controls and Latin-1 Supplement block results in a different two-byte code (e.g. 0xC2,0x8E for U+008E ), but no space is saved this way.

CSI (Control Sequence Introducer) sequences

For Control Sequence Introducer, or CSI, commands, the ESC [ (written as \e[ or \033[ in several programming and scripting languages ) is followed by any number (including none) of "parameter bytes" in the range 0x30–0x3F (ASCII 0–9:;<=>?), then by any number of "intermediate bytes" in the range 0x20–0x2F (ASCII space and !"#$%&'()*+,-./), then finally by a single "final byte" in the range 0x40–0x7E (ASCII @A–Z[\]^_`a–z{|}~).

All common sequences just use the parameters as a series of semicolon-separated numbers such as 1;2;3. Missing numbers are treated as 0 (1;;3 acts like the middle number is 0, and no parameters at all in ESC[m acts like a 0 reset code). Some sequences (such as CUU) treat 0 as 1 in order to make missing parameters useful.

A subset of arrangements was declared "private" so that terminal manufacturers could insert their own sequences without conflicting with the standard. Sequences containing the parameter bytes <=>? or the final bytes 0x70–0x7E (p–z{|}~) are private.

The behavior of the terminal is undefined in the case where a CSI sequence contains any character outside of the range 0x20–0x7E. These illegal characters are either C0 control characters (the range 0–0x1F), DEL (0x7F), or bytes with the high bit set. Possible responses are to ignore the byte, to process it immediately, and furthermore whether to continue with the CSI sequence, to abort it immediately, or to ignore the rest of it.

SGR (Select Graphic Rendition) parameters

The control sequence CSI n m, named Select Graphic Rendition (SGR), sets display attributes. Several attributes can be set in the same sequence, separated by semicolons. Each display attribute remains in effect until a following occurrence of SGR resets it. If no codes are given, CSI m is treated as CSI 0 m (reset / normal ).

Colors

3-bit and 4-bit

The original specification only had 8 colors, and just gave them names. The SGR parameters 30–37 selected the foreground color, while 40–47 selected the background. Quite a few terminals implemented "bold" (SGR code 1) as a brighter color rather than a different font, thus providing 8 additional foreground colors. Usually you could not get these as background colors, though sometimes inverse video (SGR code 7) would allow that. Examples: to get black letters on white background use ESC[30;47m, to get red use ESC[31m, to get bright red use ESC[1;31m. To reset colors to their defaults, use ESC[39;49m (not supported on some terminals ), or reset all attributes with ESC[0m. Later terminals added the ability to directly specify the "bright" colors with 90–97 and 100–107.

When hardware started using 8-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs) several pieces of software assigned 24-bit color numbers to these names. The chart below shows the default values sent to the DAC for some common hardware and software; in most cases they are configurable.

8-bit

As 256-color lookup tables became common on graphic cards, escape sequences were added to select from a pre-defined set of 256 colors:

ESC[38;5;⟨n⟩m Select foreground color where n is a number from the table belowESC[48;5;⟨n⟩m Select background color 0- 7: standard colors (as in ESC [ 30–37 m) 8- 15: high intensity colors (as in ESC [ 90–97 m) 16-231: 6 × 6 × 6 cube (216 colors): 16 + 36 × r + 6 × g + b (0 ≤ r, g, b ≤ 5)232-255: grayscale from dark to light in 24 steps

The ITU's T.416 Information technology - Open Document Architecture (ODA) and interchange format: Character content architectures uses ":" as separator characters instead:

ESC[38:5:⟨n⟩m Select foreground color where n is a number from the table belowESC[48:5:⟨n⟩m Select background color

There has also been a similar but incompatible 88-color encoding using the same escape sequence, seen in rxvt and xterm-88color. Not much is known about the scheme besides the color codes. It uses a 4×4×4 color cube.

24-bit

As "true color" graphic cards with 16 to 24 bits of color became common, applications began to support 24-bit colors. Terminal emulators supporting setting 24-bit foreground and background colors with escape sequences include Xterm, KDE's Konsole, and iTerm, as well as all libvte based terminals, including GNOME Terminal.

ESC[38;2;⟨r⟩;⟨g⟩;⟨b⟩ m Select RGB foreground colorESC[48;2;⟨r⟩;⟨g⟩;⟨b⟩ m Select RGB background color

The syntax is likely based on the ITU's T.416 Open Document Architecture (ODA) and interchange format: Character content architectures, which was adopted as ISO/IEC 8613-6 but ended up as a commercial failure. The ODA version is more elaborate and thus incompatible:

• The parameters after the '2' (r, g, and b) are optional and can be left empty.
• Semicolons are replaced by colons, as above.
• There is a leading "colorspace ID ". The definition of the colorspace ID is not included in that document so it may be blank to represent the unspecified default.
• In addition to the '2' value after 48 to specify a Red-Green-Blue format (and the '5' above for a 0-255 indexed color), there are alternatives of '0' for implementation-defined and '1' for transparent - neither of which have any further parameters; '3' specifies colors using a Cyan-Magenta-Yellow scheme, and '4' for a Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black one, the latter using the position marked as "unused" for the Black component:

ESC[38:2:⟨Color-Space-ID⟩:⟨r⟩:⟨g⟩:⟨b⟩:⟨unused⟩:⟨CS tolerance⟩:⟨Color-Space associated with tolerance: 0 for "CIELUV"; 1 for "CIELAB"⟩ m Select RGB foreground colorESC[48:2:⟨Color-Space-ID⟩:⟨r⟩:⟨g⟩:⟨b⟩:⟨unused⟩:⟨CS tolerance⟩:⟨Color-Space associated with tolerance: 0 for "CIELUV"; 1 for "CIELAB"⟩ m Select RGB background color

The ITU-RGB variation is supported by xterm, with the colorspace ID and tolerance parameters ignored. The simpler scheme using semicolons is initially found in Konsole.

Unix environment variables relating to color support

Before termcap and terminfo could indicate support for colors, the S-Lang library used $COLORTERM to indicate whether a terminal emulator could use colors at all (later reinterpreted as 256-colors ) and whether it supports 24-bit color. This system, although poorly documented, became widespread enough for Fedora and RHEL to consider using it as a simpler and more universal detection mechanism compared to querying the now-updated libraries. However, gnome-terminal 3.14 dropped this variable as its authors considered it incorrect and no longer necessary.

Some terminal emulators (urxvt, konsole) set $COLORFGBG to report the color scheme of the terminal (mainly light vs. dark background). This behavior originated in S-Lang and is used by vim. Again, gnome-terminal refuses to add this behavior, as the more "proper" xterm OSC 4/10/11 sequences already exist.

OSC (Operating System Command) sequences

Most Operating System Command sequences were defined by Xterm, but many are also supported by other terminal emulators. For historical reasons, Xterm can end the command with ＢＥＬ[< https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%99%E3%83%AB%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97 >/wiki/bell character[BEL ]ベル文字(制御文字< https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%88%B6%E5%BE%A1%E6%96%87%E5%AD%97 > の一種,, ) ] as well as the standard ST. For example, Xterm allows the window title to be set by ESC ]0;this is the window title BEL

The Linux console uses ESC ] P n rr gg bb to change the palette, which, if hard-coded into an application, may hang other terminals. However, appending ST will be ignored by Linux and form a proper, ignorable sequence for other terminals.

Fs Escape sequences

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x60—0x7E, the escape sequence is of type Fs. This type is used for control functions individually registered with the ISO-IR registry and, consequently, available even in contexts where a different C1 control code set is used. Specifically, they correspond to single control functions approved by ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2 and standardized by ISO or an ISO-recognised body. Some of these are specified in ECMA-35 (ISO 2022 / ANSI X3.41 ), others in ECMA-48 (ISO 6429 / ANSI X3.64).  ECMA-48 refers to these as "independent control functions ".

Fp Escape sequences

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x30—0x3F, the escape sequence is of type Fp, which is set apart for up to sixteen private-use control functions.

nF Escape sequences

If the ESC is followed by a byte in the range 0x20—0x2F, the escape sequence is of type nF. Said byte is followed by any number of additional bytes in this range, and then a byte in the range 0x30-0x7E. These escape sequences are further subcategorised by the low four bits of the first byte, e.g. "type 2F " for sequences where the first byte is 0x22; and by whether the final byte is in the range 0x30—0x3F indicating private use (e.g. "type 2Fp") or not (e.g. "type 2Ft " ).

Escape sequences of this type are mostly used for ANSI/ISO code-switching mechanisms such as those used by ISO-2022-JP, except for type 3F sequences (those where the first intermediate byte is 0x23), which are used for individual control functions. Type 3Ft sequences are reserved for additional ISO-IR registered individual control functions, while type 3Fp sequences are available for private-use control functions. Unlike type Fs sequences, no type 3Ft sequences are presently registered.

Examples

CSI 2 J — This clears the screen and, on some devices, locates the cursor to the y,x position 1,1 (upper left corner).

CSI 32 m — This makes text green. The green may be a dark, dull green, so you may wish to enable Bold with the sequence CSI 1 m which would make it bright green, or combined as CSI 32; 1 m. Some implementations use the Bold state to make the character Bright.

CSI 0; 6 8; "DIR"; 13 p — This reassigns the key F10 to send to the keyboard buffer the string "DIR" and ENTER, which in the DOS command line would display the contents of the current directory. (MS-DOS ANSI.SYS only) This was sometimes used for ANSI bombs. .< https://www.techopedia.com/definition/25349/ansi-bomb >人のもの[patchリリースされたソフトで発見されたセキュリティ上の脆弱性に対する修正モジュール - パッチ ] を利用したためのmalfunction機能不全??, < https://www.hotfix.jp/archives/word/2006/word06-27.html >[HotFix Report ] セキュリティ用語－ANSI爆弾（ANSI bomb）,〈動作の不具合を起こすウイルスのようになる可能性も？・？・ 〉 . This is a private-use code (as indicated by the letter p), using a non-standard extension to include a string-valued parameter. Following the letter of the standard would consider the sequence to end at the letter D.

CSI s — This saves the cursor position. Using the sequence CSI u will restore it to the position. Say the current cursor position is 7(y) and 10(x). The sequence CSI s will save those two numbers. Now you can move to a different cursor position, such as 20(y) and 3(x), using the sequence CSI 20; 3 H or CSI 20; 3 f. Now if you use the sequence CSI u the cursor position will return to 7(y) and 10(x). Some terminals require the DEC sequences ESC 7 / ESC 8 instead which is more widely supported.

In shell scripting

ANSI escape codes are often used in UNIX and UNIX-like terminals to provide syntax highlighting. For example, on compatible terminals, the following list ふつう？、dosコマンドで・dirと入力すると file listが表示される!!, そのこと！・？・ command color-codes file and directory names by type.

ls --color

Users can employ escape codes in their scripts by including them as part of standard output or standard error. For example, the following GNU sed command embellishes the output of the make command by displaying lines containing words starting with "WARN" in reverse video and words starting with "ERR" in bright yellow on a dark red background (letter case is ignored ). The representations of the codes are highlighted.

make 2>&1 | sed -e 's/.*\bWARN.*/\x1b[7m&\x1b[0m/i' -e 's/.*\bERR.*/\x1b[93;41m&\x1b[0m/i'

The following Bash function flashes the terminal (by alternately sending reverse and normal video mode codes) until the user presses a key.

flasher () { while true; do printf \\e[?5h; sleep 0.1; printf \\e[?5l; read -s -n1 -t1 && break; done; }

This can be used to alert a programmer when a lengthy command terminates, such as with make; flasher .

printf \\033c

This will reset the console, similar to the command reset on modern Linux systems; however it should work even on older Linux systems and on other (non-Linux) UNIX variants.

In C

#include <stdio.h>int main(void){ int i, j, n; for (i = 0; i < 11; i++) { for (j = 0; j < 10; j++) { n = 10 * i + j; if (n > 108) break; printf("\033[%dm %3d\033[m", n, n); } printf("\n"); } return 0;}

Terminal input sequences

Pressing special keys on the keyboard, as well as outputting many xterm CSI, DCS, or OSC sequences, often produces a CSI, DCS, or OSC sequence, sent from the terminal to the computer as though the user typed it.

When typing input on a terminal keypresses outside the normal main alphanumeric keyboard area can be sent to the host as ANSI sequences. For keys that have an equivalent output function, such as the cursor keys, these often mirror the output sequences. However, for most keypresses there isn't an equivalent output sequence to use.

There are several encoding schemes, and unfortunately most terminals mix sequences from different schemes, so host software has to be able to deal with input sequences using any scheme. To complicate the matter, the VT terminals themselves have two schemes of input, normal mode and application mode that can be switched by the application.

(draft section)

<char> -> char<esc> <nochar> -> esc<esc> <esc> -> esc<esc> <char> -> Alt-keypress or keycode sequence<esc> '[' <nochar> -> Alt-[<esc> '[' (<modifier>) <char> -> keycode sequence, <modifier> is a decimal number and defaults to 1 (xterm)<esc> '[' (<keycode>) (';'<modifier>) '~' -> keycode sequence, <keycode> and <modifier> are decimal numbers and default to 1 (vt)

If the terminating character is '~', the first number must be present and is akeycode number, the second number is an optional modifier value. If the terminatingcharacter is a letter, the letter is the keycode value, and the optional number isthe modifier value.

The modifier value defaults to 1, and after subtracting 1 is a bitmap of modifierkeys being pressed: Meta+Ctrl+Alt+⇧ Shift. So, for example, <esc>[4;2~ is⇧ Shift+End, <esc>[20~ is function key F9, <esc>[5C is Ctrl+→.

In other words, the modifier is the sum of the following numbers:

vt sequences:<esc>[1~ - Home <esc>[16~ - <esc>[31~ - F17<esc>[2~ - Insert <esc>[17~ - F6 <esc>[32~ - F18<esc>[3~ - Delete <esc>[18~ - F7 <esc>[33~ - F19<esc>[4~ - End <esc>[19~ - F8 <esc>[34~ - F20<esc>[5~ - PgUp <esc>[20~ - F9 <esc>[35~ - <esc>[6~ - PgDn <esc>[21~ - F10 <esc>[7~ - Home <esc>[22~ - <esc>[8~ - End <esc>[23~ - F11 <esc>[9~ - <esc>[24~ - F12 <esc>[10~ - F0 <esc>[25~ - F13 <esc>[11~ - F1 <esc>[26~ - F14 <esc>[12~ - F2 <esc>[27~ - <esc>[13~ - F3 <esc>[28~ - F15 <esc>[14~ - F4 <esc>[29~ - F16 <esc>[15~ - F5 <esc>[30~ -xterm sequences:<esc>[A - Up <esc>[K - <esc>[U -<esc>[B - Down <esc>[L - <esc>[V -<esc>[C - Right <esc>[M - <esc>[W -<esc>[D - Left <esc>[N - <esc>[X -<esc>[E - <esc>[O - <esc>[Y -<esc>[F - End <esc>[1P - F1 <esc>[Z -<esc>[G - Keypad 5 <esc>[1Q - F2 <esc>[H - Home <esc>[1R - F3 <esc>[I - <esc>[1S - F4 <esc>[J - <esc>[T - 

<esc>[A to <esc>[D are the same as the ANSI output sequences. The <modifier> is normally omitted if no modifier keys are pressed, but most implementations always emit the <modifier> for F1–F4. (draft section)

Xterm has a comprehensive documentation page on the various function-key and mouse input sequence schemes from DEC's VT terminals and various other terminals it emulates. Thomas Dickey has added a lot of support to it over time; he also maintains a list of default keys used by other terminal emulators for comparison.

• On the Linux console, certain function keys generate sequences of the form CSI [ char. The CSI sequence should terminate on the [.
• Old versions of Terminator generate SS3 1; modifiers char when F1 – F4 are pressed with modifiers. The faulty behavior was copied from GNOME Terminal.
  
• xterm replies CSI row; column R if asked for cursor position and CSI 1; modifiers R if the F3 key is pressed with modifiers, which collide in the case of row == 1. This can be avoided by using the ? private modifier as CSI? 6 n, which will be reflected in the response as CSI? row; column R.
• many terminals prepend ESC to any character that is typed with the alt key down. This creates ambiguity for uppercase letters and symbols @[\]^_, which would form C1 codes.
  
• Konsole generates SS3 modifiers char when F1 – F4 are pressed with modifiers.
