[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] qemu console improvements

[Piotr Esden-Tempski]

Hello everyone,

I created a patch that adds some new features to the text console in  
qemu.
New features are:
- control ascii characters
        - backspace
        - tab
	- alert aka bell (it is being dropped now and not shown, proper  
handling has to be added)
- ansi escape sequences
        - colors (background and foreground)
                # foreground
                echo -e "\033[30m" #black
                echo -e "\033[31m" #red
                echo -e "\033[32m" #green
                echo -e "\033[33m" #yellow
                echo -e "\033[34m" #blue
                echo -e "\033[35m" #magenta
                echo -e "\033[36m" #cyan
                echo -e "\033[37m" #white
                #background
                echo -e "\033[40m" #black
                echo -e "\033[41m" #red
                echo -e "\033[42m" #green
                echo -e "\033[43m" #yellow
                echo -e "\033[44m" #blue
                echo -e "\033[45m" #magenta
                echo -e "\033[46m" #cyan
                echo -e "\033[47m" #white
        - bold (lighter colors are used as proposed by ansi)
                echo -e "\033[1m"     #on
                echo -e "\033[22m"    #off
        - underline
                echo -e "\033[4m"     #on
                echo -e "\033[24m"    #off
        - inverted
                echo -e "\033[7m"     #on
                echo -e "\033[27m"    #off

I have tested this patch on mac os x and linux so it works for me. I  
have no windows machine so I could not test that. I hope it is useful.
