term::ansi::code(n)

✨ NAME ✨

term::ansi::code — your lil helper bestie for control sequences 💅

Like, it's part of tcllib's Terminal control corner of the world, and it exists so you don't have to hand-stitch ANSI escape codes like some kind of Victorian orphan. It's giving convenience, it's giving define your own sequences, no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl 8.5 9

package require term::ansi::code ?0.2?

::term::ansi::code::esc str

::term::ansi::code::escb str

::term::ansi::code::const name code

ok so real talk: you need Tcl 8.5 or 9 in the house, and the package itself is version ?0.2? 🫶

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Bestie. This package hands you commands that let you define control sequences in an easy manner. That's the whole vibe. Terminal go brrr, but politely. 🌈

• ::term::ansi::code::esc str — hands you back the argument string, but prefixed with the ANSI escape character, "\033." ✨ It's literally just str with a little escape hat on. Iconic.
• ::term::ansi::code::escb str — same energy, different prefix: it returns the argument string prefixed with the common ANSI escape sequence, "\033[" 💖 That bracket is doing so much heavy lifting, I'm obsessed.
• ::term::ansi::code::define name escape code — this one creates a procedure called name, and that procedure returns the control sequence code, beginning with the specified escape sequence — which is either esc or escb. So you're basically manifesting your own little sequence-generator and naming it. main character energy fr fr 👑
• ::term::ansi::code::const name code — also defines a procedure called name, and that procedure returns the control sequence code. No escape sequence prefix, no drama, just the code. Lowkey the chillest one of the group. 🦋
