did you read the README that terminology comes with? :) it actually details how
the escapes work... did you look at tycat, typop, tyls, tybg, tyq, tyalpha src
(.c files) which demonstrate this working in code too? hell there are some more
like tysend.c which allows you to remote send data via escapes (think of a
modern version of zmodem over serial - but now u can ssh to some other system or
telnet or whatever then tysend filename and it'll arrive locally where the
terminal runs with progress bars etc.).
as for when did this come about? my first commit to terminology (ie when i
first published it to a repository - i was working on it before this so it'd
have started before this). it was:
Date: Tue Jun 12 10:10:01 2012 +0000
that was the first day it hit svn (at the time - moved to git later). the first
commit that brought escapes to do things with media (the media support was
already there for other reason like background):
Date: Wed Mar 20 19:00:05 2013 +0900
