FUNCTION::ANSI_CURSOR_SAVE(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

function::ansi_cursor_save — bestie, this one saves the cursor position 💾✨

(also hi, you're reading the SystemTap Tapset Reference, section 3stap, and this lil page lives in the "Utility functions for using ansi" corner of the family 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ansi_cursor_save()

that's it. that's the whole call. no arguments, no drama, no notes 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

None 🫥

like... literally none. nothing goes in. it's giving "takes no input, only vibes."

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Sends ansi code for saving the current cursor position 💾

okay so here's the tea: it fires off the ansi escape sequence that tells the terminal "hey, remember exactly where the cursor is right now, bestie." and the terminal does. it remembers. iconic behaviour honestly 🔥

no cap, that's the whole thing. it doesn't print anything cute, it doesn't return anything, it just quietly sends that ansi code and lets the terminal hold onto the memory for later. main character energy: shows up, does one thing, leaves 🙈
