16.3 Wire byte protocol

DomTerm mostly handles standard ansi/xterm escape sequences. This section documents DomTerm-specific extensions. (Future: We should also document what xterm features aren’t implemented.)

The following code sequences may change based on experience and feedback.

Notation: Literal characters are written as quoted string literals with escape sequences as understood by bash’s echo -e. Specifically "\e" is an escape; "\a" is alert (bell); "\xHH" is the 8-bit characters whose value is HH (hexadecimal).
