Control Octal Action Taken
Character Code
-------------------------------------------
NUL 000 Ignored on input (not stored in input buffer;
see full duplex protocol).
ENQ 005 Transmit answerback message.
BEL 007 Sound bell tone from keyboard.
BS 010 Move the cursor to the left one character position,
unless it is at the left margin,
in which case no action occurs.
HT 011 Move the cursor to the next tab stop,
or to the right margin if no further tab stops
are present on the line.
LF 012 This code causes a line feed or
a new line operation. (See new line mode).
VT 013 Interpreted as LF.
FF 014 Interpreted as LF.
CR 015 Move cursor to the left margin on the current line.
SO 016 Invoke G1 character set, as designated by SCS
control sequence.
SI 017 Select G0 character set, as selected by ESC ( sequence.
XON 021 Causes terminal to resume transmission.
XOFF 023 Causes terminal to stop transmitted all codes
except XOFF and XON.
CAN 030 If sent during a control sequence, the sequence is
immediately terminated and not executed. It also causes
the error character to be displayed.
SUB 032 Interpreted as CAN.
ESC 033 Invokes a control sequence.
DEL 177 Ignored on input (not stored in input buffer).

sequences, so we have to support escape sequences in escape sequences that
escape sequences in escape sequences – setting a title won't notify you
anymore.
Taken from vt100 manual programmer:
Control characters (codes \0 to \37 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 received.

Taken from vt100 programmer manual:
Control characters have values of \000 - \037, and \177. The control
characters recognized by the VT100 are shown in Table 3-10. All
other control codes cause no action to be taken.
We have to take attention when we are using alternate charset, because in
this cases they are not used as control characters.

If -f options is enabled then tputc() writes all the data to a file. Actual
code assumes that all the strings in 'c' parameters have always 1 byte
length, but this is not always true, because due to utf-8 encoding some
characters can have a diferent length. So it is necessary pass string length
to tputc in order it can call to write() correctly.

This sequence lock/unlock the keyboard ignoring all the key pressing events
from X server.

tsetreset() is called when it is necessary a full initialization of the
terminal, so it also should clean the full X window and not only the
terminal content. It is necessary change the order of the
initialization in main(), and put xinit before of tnew(), because tnew()
calls to tsetreset(), and this can cause a call to xreset() with
incorrect values.

Some times the size after a resizing is not an exact multiply of a number of
characters, so redrawn the screen using the lines and columns of the neww
size can cause that some old graphics keep in the screen. Solution is clean
all the windows with the background color.

st selection don't insert in the selection position whose value is not
set. This is correct for the positions in the end of the line, but cause
some problems in the beginning. For example echo -e 'a\tb' will print in the
screen:
a b
but after selecting and copying in some place you get:
ab
because positions from 1 to 7 don't have any value. This patch deals all
positions without value as blank (even at the end of the line).

malloc and realloc are called through xmalloc and xrealloc, so calloc should
be called through xcalloc.

In previous commits draw was removed from all the X events, but I forgot do
it in resize.

After the commit named "Remove timeout in the main loop", selection is not
working in the proper way. After selecting something, press mouse button in
a line outside of selection causes an incorrect highlight. This patch fix
the problem forcing a draw after the press event, but this is only a fast
hack. Real solution means rewriting selection code.

draw() runs over all lines of the screen and renders only the dirty lines,
this avoids render lines which are not modified since last draw() call. In
this moment the main loop is something like:
- Wait something to read from file descriptors
- Read from pseudo tty
- Call draw() for rending
- Read X events
This cause the problem that all the X events that have to update the screen
have to call draw() (because draw() is called before of X events handling),
so you can have multiples renderings in only one iteration, that will waste
a lot of resources.
This patch change the main loop to:
- Wait something to read from file descriptors
- Read from pseudo tty
- Read X events
- Call draw() for rending
So X events don't have to worry about rendering, because draw() is called
after them.
The only place where draw is called outside of the main loop is in redraw(),
but it is necessary for getting a good tput flash.
