Introduce new prompt format characters: - '\[' starts the sequence of non-printing chatacters - '\]' ends the sequence of non-printing characters Within these sequences, the following characters are now supported: - '\a' emits ASCII BEL (0x07, 007) character - '\e' emits ASCII ESC (0x1b, 033) character - '\r' emits ASCII CR (0x0d, 015) character - '\n' emits ASCII CRLF sequence These can be used to embed ANSI sequences into prompt strings. Example in .shrc: PS1="\[\e[7m\]\u@\h\[\e[0m\]:\w \\$ " This tries to maintain some degree of compatibility with GNU bash, that uses GNU readline library (which behaves slightly different from BSD editline): It has two "non-printing boundary" characters: - RL_PROMPT_START_IGNORE (\001) - RL_PROMPT_END_IGNORE (\002) while BSD editline only has one (when using EL_PROMPT_ESC setting), so for this purpose, ASCII \001 was chosen and both \[ and \] emits this character. And while here, enlarge PROMPTLEN from 128 to 192 characters. Reviewed by: jilles Approved by: jilles Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D37701
FreeBSD Source:
This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
