34 /* Color codes: 0 = black, 1 = red, 2 = green, 3 = yellow, 4 = blue,
35 * 5 = magenta, 6 = cyan, 7 = white.
37 * An 'attribute' as used in this library means an 8-bit value that conveys
38 * a foreground color code, a background color code, and the bold
39 * and blink bits. Each cell in the virtual terminal screen is associated
40 * with an attribute that specifies its appearance. The bits of an attribute,
41 * from most significant to least significant, are
43 * bit: 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
44 * content: S F F F H B B B
47 * | | | `----- 3-bit background color code (0 - 7)
48 * | | `--------- blink bit (if on, text is blinking)
49 * | `------------- 3-bit foreground color code (0 - 7)
50 * `----------------- bold bit
52 * It is however recommended that you use the provided macros rather
53 * than dealing with this format directly.
55 * Sometimes we will call the 'SFFF' nibble above the 'extended
56 * foreground color code', and the 'HBBB' nibble the 'extended background
57 * color code'. So the extended color codes are just the regular
58 * color codes except that they have an additional bit (the most significant
59 * bit) indicating bold/blink.
