5 Standards

The most authoritative source of information on control functions, their representations in bytes, and their intended meaning, is the Ecma-48 / ISO/IEC 6429 standard. Also related is the Ecma-35 / ISO/IEC 2200 standard, which describes control functions for switching the character encoding, and defines the possible forms of escape sequence (note that, in Teseq, “escape sequence” refers to both the Ecma-48 concept of “control sequences”, and the official Ecma-35 meaning of “escape sequence”. These standards are available, “free of charge and copyright”, at:

In addition to the definitions provided by these standards, Teseq also recognizes additional sequences when the -x option has been specified. Sources of information that were used for identifying and describing these sequences, include:
