The name “ctlseqs” is an abbreviation of “control sequences”, as defined in section 5.4 of ECMA-48.
As the name suggests, this library focuses on handling control sequences. However, it only cares about the bit combinations, while the actual meaning and implementation of a control sequence is up to the user.
The C API provided by ctlseqs is composed of three major parts: The helper
macros, the control sequence matcher, and the control sequence reader. Any of
them can be used separatedly or combined, after including the header file
ctlseqs.h in a source file.
