GNU Teseq is a tool for translating files that contain control
|
|
characters and terminal control sequences, into human-understandable
|
|
text. It is intended to aid in debugging problems in terminal
|
|
emulators, software that makes use of special terminal features, and
|
|
interactions between the two.
|
|
|
|
Teseq is primarily targeted at individuals who possess a basic
|
|
understanding of terminal control sequences, especially CSI sequences;
|
|
however, by default Teseq will try to identify and describe the
|
|
sequences that it encounters, and the behavior they might produce in a
|
|
terminal.
|
|
|
|
Teseq describes control functions as they are interpreted by
|
|
VT100-compatible terminals, and/or terminals compliant with the ECMA-48 /
|
|
ISO/IEC 6429 standard. Teseq does _not_ support describing control
|
|
functions according to terminal-specific definitions in a database such
|
|
as termcap or terminfo, though future versions may include limited
|
|
support for that (*note Future Enhancements::). Therefore, the
|
|
descriptions Teseq uses for control functions may not necessarily match
|
|
their actual interpretation by whatever terminal device the characters
|
|
were actually intended for
