ANSI_escape_sequences.h Header file for C/C++ Programing to use Console Virtual Terminal Sequences which are supported in Windows 10 and Linux. ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING flag must be set using SetConsoleMode on Windows 10 before using any of these sequences. This header file can be used and modified freely without any restrictions.
