The terminal control sequences that follow the ESC character are dependent on which terminal the control codes were generated for. Many terminal emulators support color and cursor control through a system of escape sequences. One such standard is commonly referred to as ANSI Color. Several terminal specifications are based on the ANSI color standard, including VT100.
<ESC> represents the ASCII "escape" character, 0x1B. Bracketed tags represent modifiable decimal parameters; eg. {ROW} would be replaced by a row number.
