NAMEdtterm — escape sequences recognized by dtterm and the DtTerm widget
DESCRIPTION
Received Escape Sequences
The dtterm(1) utility and the DtTerm widget support the following list
of received escape sequences. Spaces have been added for readability
and are not part of the escape sequence. The following indicate parame‐
ters: pi, p1, label, file and text. Space indicates a required space,
hexadecimal code 0x20. A <control>- char indicates a control code (such
as <control>-G, which is hexadecimal code 0x07). Esc indicates hexadec‐
imal code 0x1b. Backslash indicates hexadecimal code 0x5c. Literals are
indicated as literal and must be included exactly as specified. All
references to the dtterm(1) utility in this man page also apply to the
DtTerm widget.
<control>-G
( BEL) Bell. The terminal either issues an audible bell, or
flashes the text window depending on the state of the visual
bell flag.
<control>-H
( BS) Backspace. The cursor moves one cursor position to the
left. If reverse-wrap mode is disabled and the cursor is at
the left-most column of the line when a backspace character
is received, the cursor remains at its current position. If
reverse-wrap mode is enabled and the cursor is at the left-
most column of the line when a backspace character is
received, the cursor moves to the right-most column of the
previous line. If the cursor is also in the top-most row, the
cursor moves to the right-most column of the bottom-most row.
<control>-I
( HT) Horizontal Tab. The cursor moves right to the next tab
stop. If there are no further tab stops set to the right of
the cursor, the cursor moves to the right-most column of the
current line.
<control>-J
( LF) Line Feed or New Line. The cursor moves to the same
column of the next line. If the cursor is in the bottom-most
line of the scrolling region, the scrolling region scrolls up
one line. Lines scrolled off the top of the scrolling region
are lost. Blank lines with no visible character attributes
are added at the bottom of the scrolling region.
<control>-K
( VT) Vertical Tab. Same as Line Feed.
<control>-L
( FF) Form Feed or New Page. Same as Line Feed.
<control>-M
( CR) Carriage Return. The cursor moves to the left-most col‐
umn of the current line.

( S7C1T) Select 7-bit C1 Control Characters. In this mode,
the dtterm utility sends all C1 Control Characters to the
host as 7-bit escape sequences. That is, CSI is sent to the
host as ``Esc [''.
Esc Space G
( C8C1T) Select 8-bit C1 Control Characters. In this mode,
the dtterm utility sends all C1 Control Characters to the
host as 8-bit control codes. That is, CSI is sent back as the
hexadecimal value 0x9B.
Esc # 8 ( DECALN) DEC Screen Align Test. The screen is filled with
the character ``E''.
Esc 7 ( DECSC) Save cursor. The following is saved:

· State of the autowrap flag
· State of the reverse wrap flag
· State of origin mode ( DECOM)
· State of selective erase
Esc 8 ( DECRC) Restore cursor. The terminal emulator is restored to
the state saved by the save cursor ( DECSC) function. If
nothing was saved by DECSC, then the following actions are
performed:
· Moves the cursor to the home position
· Resets the origin mode ( DECOM)
· Turns off all character attributes ( SGR)
· Maps the ASCII character set into GL

inclusive, send application sequences. (See the ``Transmitted
Escape Sequences'' section later in this document for addi‐
tional information.)
Esc D ( IND) Index. The cursor moves down to the same column of the
next line. If the cursor is in the bottom-most line of the
scrolling region, the scrolling region is scrolled up one
line. The line scrolled off the top of the scrolling region
is lost. A blank line with no visible character attributes is
added at the bottom of the scrolling region.
Esc E ( NEL) Next line. The cursor moves down to the first column
of the next line. If the cursor is in the bottom-most line of

keyboard characters to both the host and the dis‐
play. The host does not have to echo back charac‐
ters for them to be displayed.
20 ( LNM) New line. In this mode, the cursor moves to
the same column on the next line when dtterm(1)
receives an LF, FF or VT character. When the Return
key is pressed, dtterm(1) sends a carriage-return (

mode is enabled, the number of columns is the ter‐
minal window changed to 132. When entering into
132-column mode, the left, right, top, and bottom
margins are reset to their default positions and
the display is cleared.
4 ( DECSCLM) Enable smooth scrolling. When smooth
scrolling is enabled, lines are added and the
screen is scrolled a single line at a time.
5 ( DECSCNM) Enable reverse video. When reverse video
mode is enabled, the foreground and background col‐
ors of the terminal window are reversed.
6 ( DECOM) Enable origin mode. When origin mode is
enabled, the home cursor position is the upper-left
corner of the screen, within the margins. The
starting point for line numbers depends on the cur‐
rent top margin. The cursor cannot be moved outside
the top and bottom margins.
7 ( DECAWM) Enable autowrap. When autowrap mode is
enabled, characters received when the cursor is at
the right-most column of the page are inserted at
the beginning of the next line. If the cursor is
at the bottom line of the scrolling region, the
page is scrolled up 1 line.
8 ( DECARM) Enable auto-repeat keys. This option is
ignored.
25 ( DECTCEM) Enable cursor visible. In this mode,
the text cursor is visible.

switches into either an 80- or 132-column window
when it receives a DECCOLM escape sequence.
44 Enable margin bell. When the margin bell is
enabled, the dtterm utility's bell (either audible
or visible) is invoked when the cursor is a prede‐
fined distance from the right margin and a key is
pressed.
45 Enable reverse-autowrap mode. When reverse-autowrap
mode is enabled, and a backspace is received when
the cursor is at the left-most column of the page,
the cursor is wrapped to the right-most column of
the previous line. If the cursor is at the top
line of the scrolling region, the cursor is wrapped
to the right-most column of the bottom line of the
scrolling region. If the cursor is at the top line
of terminal window, the cursor is wrapped to the
right-most column of the bottom line of the termi‐
nal window.
46 Enable logging. When logging is enabled, all text
received from the child process is logged to a
file.
Esc [ ? pi l
( RM) DEC private mode reset. This escape sequence sets DEC
private modes. Valid supported values of pi are:
1 ( DECCKM) Disable cursor keys mode. When cursor
keys mode is disabled, the arrow keys send ANSI
cursor sequences to the host.
3 ( DECCOLM) Disable 132-column mode. When 132-column
mode is disabled, the number of columns is the ter‐
minal window changed to 80. When entering into
80-column mode, the left, right, top, and bottom
margins are reset to their default positions and
the display is cleared.
4 ( DECSCLM) Disable smooth scrolling. When smooth
scrolling is disabled, lines are added and the
screen is scrolled up to a full screen at a time
depending on how fast text is received from the
child process.
5 ( DECSCNM) Disable reverse video. When reverse
video mode is disabled, the foreground and back‐
ground colors of the terminal window are not
reversed.
6 ( DECOM) Disable origin mode. When origin mode is

left corner of the screen. The starting point for
line numbers is independent of the current top mar‐
gin. The cursor can be moved outside the top and
bottom margins.
7 ( DECAWM) Disable autowrap. When autowrap mode is
enabled, characters received when the cursor is at
the right-most column of the page, replace the
character already on the line.
8 ( DECARM) Disable auto-repeat keys. This option is
ignored.
25 ( DECTCEM) Disable cursor visible. In this mode,
the text cursor is invisible.
40 Disable DECCOLM escape sequence. When the DECCOLM
escape sequence is disabled, the terminal emulator
ignores the DECCOLM escape sequence and does not
switch into either an 80- or 132-column window when
it is received.
44 Disable margin bell. When the margin bell is dis‐
abled, the dtterm utility's bell is not invoked
when the cursor is a pre-defined distance from the
right margin and a key is pressed.
45 Disable reverse-autowrap mode. When reverse-
autowrap mode is disabled, and a backspace is
received when the cursor is at the left-most column
of the page, the cursor remains at that position.
46 Disable logging. When logging is disabled, text
received from the child process is not logged to a
file.

Reset
The dtterm(1) utility supports two levels of reset: full reset and soft
reset. Reset can be invoked by menu buttons, the keyboard or by escape
sequences. Soft reset performs the following actions:
· Turns on the text cursor ( DECTCEM )
· Enables replace mode ( IRM)
· Turns off origin mode ( DECOM)
· Turns on autowrap ( DECAWM)
· Turns off reverse wrap
· Unlocks the keyboard ( KAM)
· Sets the cursor keypad mode to normal ( DECCKM)
· Sets the numeric keypad mode to numeric ( DECNKM)
· Sets the top and bottom margins to the first and last lines of
the window ( DECSTBM)
· Sets all character sets ( GL, G0, G1, G2 and G3) to ASCII
· Turns off all character attributes ( SGR)
· Sets selective erase mode off ( DECSCA)
· Clears any cursor state information saved with save cursor (
DECSC)
Full reset performs the same functions as soft reset along with the
following actions:
· Cursor is moved to the home position
· Clears the screen
· Clears user defined keys ( DECUDK)
· Turns off reverse video ( DECSCNM)
· Turns off auto linefeed mode ( LNM)
· Turns on jump scroll ( DECSCLM)
