== Description: ==
Overview:

ctlseqs is a library which provides C API for handling ECMA-35/ECMA-48
compatible escape sequences, which is commonly used for communication between
terminal emulators and text-based programs.

ctlseqs can be used to read and parse data from a stream, distinguish normal
text and control sequences, and for the latter, extract values according to
the given patterns. Although the same things can be achived using regular
expressions, ctlseqs is faster and easier to use, as the syntax of control
sequences is simple, and easy to implement.

Possible use cases:

* Development of text-based programs which rely heavily on special control
sequences, which is not supported by libraries like ncurses.
* Implementing a terminal emulator.
* Experimenting or debugging the features of text-based programs or terminal
emulators.
* ...


== Other Software Required: ==
* Any C implementation which is compatible to ISO C99 and POSIX.1-2001, for
compiling and running the library code.
* GNU Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, and optionally Autoconf Archive, for
running the build script.
* DejaGnu, for running the test suite.




== Other Comments: ==
Current status of the project:

The library is fully implemented and well-tested, however, the documentation
and test suite is not yet ready. They will be completed in near future.

Hosting:

The project is now primarily hosted on a Gitea instance running on one of my
VPS, and a Drone instance for continuous integration. Both Gitea and Drone are
free softwares.

In case the service is down, you can use the tarball I uploaded to Savannah
(which may be out of date).
