Termcap looks interesting, but I can not find anything about the control characters I would like to use.
I am trying to find a library that’d give me the right escape sequence - or a function - to do certain things. Such as
- Deleting everything from the left/right of the curser
- Erasing a whole line, setting the cursor to the beginning of the line
- Starting / ending a color sequence
i know that ncurses can do the color part, but I couldn’t find any way to make it print soemthing like "\x1b[1K“ for me. I know, that on some terminals, the \x expects an octal value rather than a hexadecimal value. (i.e. \x033 vs. \x1b). So the library I am looking for just needs to give me the right sequence to use o.o
Do you know any?
