This information is largely derived from DEC document EK-VT100-UG-003, |
|
|
the original manual for the VT100. |
|
|
|
|
|
Most so-called VT100 implementations (both stand-alone terminals and |
|
|
PC emulators) actually implement more controls than are given here. |
|
|
The minimal standard is really the slightly more advanced VT102 terminal. |

OK. I finally found this on my local machine by doing a locate. |
|
|
Still haven't found any FTP site bearing this kind of information. |
|
|
I myself would need a similar file with extensions for VT200/VT220. |
|
|
Please do not address any complaints to me, since I just copied this file |
|
|
as I found it. There might be some escape sequences missing from the |
|
|
end because there was some carbage, but I don't know. Here goes... |

This file describes information needed for controlling the VT100 terminal from |
|
|
a remote computer. All of the information was derived from the VT100 user's |
|
|
manual, Programmer's Information section. Full documentation can be obtain |
|

Control Characters |
|
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
The control characters recognized by the VT100 are listed below. All |
|
|
other control characters cause no action to be taken. |
|
|
|
|
|
Control characters (codes 00 - 037 inclusive) are specifically excluded |
|
|
from the control sequence syntax, but may be embedded within a control |
|
|
sequence. Embedded control characters are executed as soon as they are |
|
|
encountered by the VT100. The processing of the control sequence then |
|
|
continues with the next character recieved. The exceptions are: if the <ESC> |
|
|
character occurs, the current control sequence is aborted, and a new one |
|
|
commences beginning with the <ESC> just recieved. If the character <CAN> |
|
|
(030) or the character <SUB> (032) occurs, the current control sequence is |
|
|
aborted. The ability to embed control characters allows the synchronization |
|
|
characters XON and XOFF to be interpreted properly without affecting the |
|
|
control sequence. |

The VT100 is an upward and downward software-compatible terminal; |
|
|
that is, previous Digital video terminals have Digital's private standards |
|
|
for control sequences. The American National Standards Institute has since |
|
|
standardized escape and control sequences in terminals in documents X3.41-1974 |
|
|
and X3.64-1977. |
|
|
|
|
|
The VT100 is compatible with both the previous Digital standard and |
|
|
ANSI standards. Customers may use existing Digital software designed around |
|
|
the VT52 or new VT100 software. The VT100 has a "VT52 compatible" mode in |
|
|
which the VT100 responds to control sequences like a VT52. In this mode, most |
|
|
of the new VT100 features cannot be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
Throughout this document references will be made to "VT52 mode" or |
|
|
"ANSI mode". These two terms are used to indicate the VT100's software |
|
|
compatibility. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The ANSI standards allow the manufacturer flexibility in implementing |
|
|
each function. This document describes how the VT100 will respond to the |
|
|
implemented ANSI central function. |

Definitions |
|
|
----------- |
|
|
|
|
|
Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) - An escape sequence that provides |
|
|
supplementary controls and is itself a prefix affecting the |
|
|
interpretation of a limited number of contiguous characters. |
|
|
In the VT100, the CSI is: <ESC>[ |
|
|
|
|
|
Parameter: (1) A string of zero or more decimal characters which |
|
|
represent a single value. Leading zeros are ignored. The |
|
|
decimal characters have a range of 0 (060) to 9 (071). |
|
|
(2) The value so represented. |
|
|
|
|
|
Numeric Parameter: A parameter that represents a number, designated by |
|
|
Pn. |
|
|
|
|
|
Selective Parameter: A parameter that selects a subfunction from a |
|
|
specified set of subfunctions, designated by Ps. In general, a |
|
|
control sequence with more than one selective parameter causes |
|
|
the same effect as several control sequences, each with one |
|
|
selective parameter, e.g., CSI Psa; Psb; Psc F is identical to |
|
|
CSI Psa F CSI Psb F CSI Psc F. |
|
|
|
|
|
Parameter String: A string of parameters separated by a semicolon. |
|
|
|
|
|
Default: A function-dependent value that is assumed when no explicit |
|
|
value, or a value of 0, is specified. |
|
|
|
|
|
Final character: A character whose bit combination terminates an |
|
|
escape or control sequence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE: Control sequence to turn off all character attributes, then |
|
|
turn on underscore and blink attributes (SGR). <ESC>[0;4;5m |

Control Sequences |
|
|
----------------- |
|
|
|
|
|
All of the following control sequences are transmitted from the Host to |
|
|
VT100 unless otherwise noted. All of the control sequences are a subset of |
|
|
those defined in ANSI X 3.64 1977 and ANSI X 3.41 1974. |
|
|
|
|
|
The following text conforms to these formatting conventions: |
|
|
|
|
|
1) Control characters are designated by angle brackets (e.g. |
|
|
the Escape character is <ESC>). |
|
|
|
|
|
2) Parameters are indicated by curly braces. |
|
|
|
|
|
3) Parameter types usually are indicated as one of: |
|
|
|
|
|
{Pn} A string of digits representing a numerical |
|
|
value. |
|
|
|
|
|
{Ps} A character that selects an item from a list. |
|
|
|
|
|
{a-z} Any lowercase sequence of one44 or more |
|
|
characters in braces represent a value to be |
|
|
entered (as in {Pn}), and the name in the |
|
|
braces will be referred to in explanatory text. |
|
|
|
|
|
4) Spaces in the control sequence are present for clarity and |
|
|
may be omitted. Spaces which are required will be |
|
|
surrounded by single quotes: ' '. |
|
|
|
|
|
5) All other characters are literals. |

|
CPR Cursor Position Report VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} ; {Pn} R Default Value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
The CPR sequence reports the active position by means of the |
|
|
parameters. This sequence has two parameter values, the first |
|
|
specifying the line and the second specifying the column. The default |
|
|
condition with no parameters present, or parameters of 0, is equivelent |
|
|
to a cursor at home position. |
|
|
|
|
|
The numbering of the lines depends upon the state of the Origin Mode |
|
|
(DECOM). |
|
|
|
|
|
This control sequence is sent in reply to a device status report (DSR) |
|
|
command sent from the host. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CUB Cursor Backward Host to VT100 & VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} D Default Value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
The CUB sequence move the cursor to the left. The distance moved is |
|
|
determined by the parameter. If the parameter missing, zero, or one, |
|
|
the cursor is moved one position. The cursor cannot be moved past the |
|
|
left margin. Editor Function. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CUD Cursor Down Host to VT100 & VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} B Default value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Moves the cursor down a number of lines as specified in the parameter |
|
|
without changing columns. The cursor cannot be moved past the bottom |
|
|
margin. Editor Function. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CUF Cursor Foreward Host to VT100 & VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} C Default Value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
The CUF sequence moves the cursor to the right a number of positions |
|
|
specified in the parameter. The cursor cannot be moved past the right |
|
|
margin. Editor Function. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CUP Cursor Position |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} ; {Pn} H Default Value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
The CUP sequence moves the curor to the position specified by the |
|
|
parameters. The first parameter specifies the line, and the second |
|
|
specifies the column. A value of zero for either line or column moves |
|
|
the cursor to the first line or column in the display. The default |
|
|
string (<ESC>H) homes the cursor. In the VT100, this command behaves |
|
|
identically to it's format effector counterpart, HVP. |
|
|
|
|
|
The numbering of the lines depends upon the state of the Origin Mode |
|
|
(DECOM). Editor Function. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CUU Cursor Up Host to VT100 & VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} A Default Value: 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Moves the cursor up without changing columns. The cursor is moved up a |
|
|
number of lines as indicated by the parameter. The cursor cannot be |
|
|
moved beyond the top margin. Editor Function. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DA Device Attributes Host to VT100 & VT100 to Host |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} c Default Value: 0 |
|
|
|
|
|
1) The host requests the VT100 to send a DA sequence to indentify |
|
|
itself. This is done by sending the DA sequence with no parameters, |
|
|
or with a parameter of zero. |
|
|
|
|
|
2) Response to the request described above (VT100 to host) is generated |
|
|
by the VT100 as a DA control sequencewith the numeric parameters as |
|
|
follows: |

|
DECALN Screen Alignment Display (DEC private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC># 8 |
|
|
|
|
|
This command causes the VT100 to fill it's screen with uppercase Es for |
|
|
screen focus and alignment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECANM ANSI/VT52 Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the SM and RM control sequences. The |
|
|
reset state causes only VT52 compatible escape sequences to be |
|
|
recognized. The set state causes only ANSI compatible escape sequences |
|
|
to be recognized. See the entries for MODES, SM, and RM. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECARM Auto Repeat Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the SM and RM control sequences. The |
|
|
reset state causes no keyboard keys to auto-repeat, the set state |
|
|
causes most of them to. See MODES, SM, and RM. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECAWM Autowrap Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the SM and RM control sequences. The |
|
|
reset state prevents the cursor from moving when characters are |
|
|
recieved while at the right margin. The set state causes these |
|
|
characters to advance to the next line, causing a scroll up if required |
|
|
and permitted. See MODES, SM, and RM. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECCKM Cursor Keys Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the SM and RM control requences. This |
|
|
mode is only effective when the terminal is in keypad application mode |
|
|
(DECPAM) and the ANSI/VT52 mode (DECANM) is set. Under these |
|
|
conditions, if this mode is reset, the cursor keys will send ANSI |
|
|
cursor control commands. If setm the cursor keys will send application |
|
|
function commands (See MODES, RM, and SM). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECCOLM Column Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the SM and RM control sequences. The |
|
|
reset state causes an 80 column screen to be used. The set state |
|
|
causes a 132 column screen to be used. See MODES, RM, and SM. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECDHL Double Height Line (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
Top Half: <ESC>#3 |
|
|
Bottom Half: <ESC>#4 |
|
|
|
|
|
These sequences cause the line containing the cursor to become the top |
|
|
or bottom half of a double-height, double width line. The sequences |
|
|
should be used in pairs on adjacent lines with each line containing the |
|
|
same character string. If the line was single width single height, all |
|
|
characters to the right of the center of the screen will be lost. The |
|
|
cursor remains over the same character position, unless it would be to |
|
|
the right of the right margin, in which case it is moved to the right |
|
|
margin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECDWL Double Width Line (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>#6 |
|
|
|
|
|
This causes the line that contains the cursor to become double-width |
|
|
single height. If the line was single width, all characters ro the |
|
|
right of the center of the screen will be lost. The cursor remains |
|
|
over the same character position, unless it would be to the right of |
|
|
the right margin, in which case it is moved to the right margin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECID Identify Terminal (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>Z |
|
|
|
|
|
This sequence causes the same response as the DA sequence. This |
|
|
sequence will not be supported in future models. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECINLM Interlace Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to the RM and SM control sequences. The |
|
|
reset state (non-interlace) causes the video processor to display 240 |

DECOM Origin Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to SM and RM control sequences. The reset |
|
|
state causes the origin (or home position) to be the upper left |
|
|
character position of the screen. Line and column numbers are, |
|
|
therefore, independent of current margin settings. The cursor may be |
|
|
positioned outside the margins with a cursor position (CUP) or |
|
|
horizontal and vertical position (HVP) control. |
|
|
|
|
|
The set state causes the origin to be at the upper left character |
|
|
position within the current margins. Line and column numbers are, |
|
|
therefore, relative to the current margin settings. The cursor cannot |
|
|
be positioned outside of the margins. |
|
|
|
|
|
The cursor is moved to the new home position when this mode is set or |
|
|
reset. Lines and columns are numbered consecutively, with the origin |
|
|
being line 1, column 1. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECRC Restore Cursor (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>8 |

DECREQTPARM Request Terminal Parameters |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Ps} x |
|
|
|
|
|
The host sends this sequence to request the VT100 to send a DECREPTPARM |
|
|
sequence back. {Ps} can be either 0 or 1. If 0, the terminal will be |
|
|
allowed to send unsolicited DECREPTPARMs. These reports will be |
|
|
generated each time the terminal exits the SET-UP mode. If {Ps} is 1, |
|
|
then the terminal will only generate DECREPTPARMs in response to a |
|
|
request. |

|
|
saved. (See DECRC) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECSCLM Scrolling Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to RM and SM control sequences. The reset |
|
|
state causes scrolls to "jump" instantaneuously one line at a time. |
|
|
The set state causes the scrolls to be "smooth", and scrolls at a |
|
|
maximum rate of siz lines/sec. See MODES, RM, and SM. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECSCNM Screen Mode (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a private parameter to RM and SM control sequences. The reset |
|
|
state causes the screen to be black with white characters; the set |
|
|
state causes the screen to be white with black characters. See MODES, |
|
|
RM, and SM. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
DECSTBM Set Top and Bottom Margins (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} ; {Pn} r Default Values: See Below |
|
|
|
|
|
This sequence sets the top and bottom margins to define the scrolling |
|
|
region. The first parameter is the line number of the first line in |
|
|
the scrolling region; the second parameter is the line number of the |
|
|
bottom line of the scrolling region. Default is the entire screen (no |
|
|
margins). The minimum region allowed is two lines, i.e., the top line |
|
|
must be less than the bottom. The cursor is placed in the home |
|
|
position (See DECOM). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DECSWL Single-width Line (DEC Private) |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>#5 |
|
|
|
|
|
This causes the line which contains the cursor to become single-width, |
|
|
single-height. The cursor remains on the same character position. |
|
|
This is the default condition for all new lines on the screen. |
|

|
|
|
|
DECTST Invoke Confidence Test |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ 2 ; {Ps} y |
|
|
|
|
|
Ps is the parameter indicating the test to be done. It is computed by |
|
|
taking the weight indicated for each desired test and adding them |
|
|
together. If Ps is 0, no test is performed but the VT100 is reset. |

HVP Horizontal and Vertical Position |
|
|
|
|
|
<ESC>[ {Pn} ; {Pn} f |
|
|
|
|
|
Moves the cursor to the position specified by the parameters. The |
|
|
first parameter specifies the line, and the second specifies the |
|
|
column. A parameter of 0 or 1 causes the active position to move to |
|
|
the first line or column in the display. In the VT100, this control |
|
|
behaves identically with it's editor counterpart, CUP. The numbering |
|
|
of hte lines depends upon the state of the Origin Mode (DECOM). Format |

changing the column. If the cursor is at the bottom margin, a scroll |
|
|
up is performed. Format Effector. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LNM Line Feed/New Line Mode |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a parameter to SM and RM control sequences. The reset state |
|
|
causes the interpretation of the <LF> character to imply only vertical |
|
|
movement of the cursor and causes the RETURN key to send the single |
|
|
code <CR>. The set state causes the <LF> character to imply movement |
|
|
to the first position of the following line, and causes the RETURN key |
|
|
to send the code pair <CR><LF>. This is the New Line option. |
|
|
|
|
|
This mode does not affect the Index (IND) or the next line (NEL) format |
|
|
effectors. |

The Ps1..Psn are the standard character attributes such as used with |
|
|
CSIm (SGR). The values they can hold are: |
|
|
|
|
|
0 - reset all attributes (white on black) |
|
|
1 - bold |
|
|
4 - underline |
|
|
5 - blink |
|
|
7 - inverse |
|
|
21 - bold off |
|
|
24 - underline off |
|
|
25 - blink off |
|
|
27 - inverse off |
|
|
|
|
|
For example to turn all the characters in the top left quadrant of the |
|
|
screen bold and inverse with no blinking (as I hate blinking) use: |
|
|
CSI 1;1;40;12;1;7;25$r |
|
|
|
|
|
As to the number of parameters, I don't know. |
