EXTENDED ESCAPES FOR TERMINOLOGY:

[\033][}][COMMAND][\000]

i.e. 1. ESC char (\033 or 0x1b) 2. } char 3... sequence of UTF8 chars other than nul (\000 or 0x00). 4 \000 char (nul byte or 0x00 to indicate end of sequence) e.g. echo -n '\033}Hello world\000'

Commands:

any values inside square brackets [] are to be replaced by some content (numbers, strings, paths, url's etc.). example:

aa[PATH-OF-FILE] should be come something like: aa/tmp/file.png or aa[true/false] should become something like: aatrue or aafalse

---

pn[FULL-PATH-OR-URL] popup the given media file/url now.

pq[FULL-PATH-OR-URL] queue a popup for the given media file/url.

bt[FULL-PATH-OR-URL] set the terminal background media file/url temporarily.

bp[FULL-PATH-OR-URL] set the terminal background media file/url permanently.

at[on/true/yes/off/false/no] set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off temporarily.

ap[on/true/yes/off/false/no] set the terminal alpha state to be on, or off permanently.

qs query grid and font size. stdin will have written to it: W;H;FW;FH where W is the width of the terminal grid in characters where H is the height of the terminal grid in characters where FW is the width of 1 character cell in pixels where FH is the height of 1 character cell in pixels

is[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL] insert STRETCHED media (where image will stretch to fill the cell area) and define expected cell area to be W cells wide and H cells high, with the image/media/url. where C is the replace character to be identified in later text where W is the width in character cells (up to 511). where H is the height in character cells (up to 511).

note that this escape alone has no effect. It indicates a future intention of inserting media into the terminal. the terminal will EXPECT a grid of WxH "replace characters" to follow, with each sequence of such replace characters bebung with a ib escape command and ending with an ie escape command.

the FULL-PATH-OR-URL for all the i commands (is, ic, if, it) may be of the form:

/full/path/to/file.png

OR

/full/path/to/link0full/path/to/file.png

where a newline character separates a URI for a link and a full path to a file to display in the region. the link is the destination URI when a user may click on the given media image.

example:

printf("\ 33}is#5;3;%s 00" "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0 "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0 "\ 33}ib#####\ 33}ie\0, "/tmp/icon.png");

note that # is the replace character, and later # chars if inside begin/end escapes, will be replaced by the given media indicated in the insert media escape.

ic[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL] insert CENTERED media (centered in cell area). Otherwise parameters are identical to the is command, but retains aspect and is padded by blank space.

if[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL] insert FILLED media (fill in cell area). Otherwise parameters are identical to the is command but ensures the entire area is filled like a background even if media goes beyond cell bounds and is clipped.

it[CW;H;FULL-PATH-OR-URL] insert THUMB media (thumbnail cell area). Otherwise parameters are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail generation to make a fast to load but low resolution version (cached) of the media.

it[CW;H;LINK\nFULL-PATH-OR-URL] insert THUMB media with link (thumbnail cell area). Otherwise parameters are identical to the is command, but uses thumbnail generation to make a fast to load but low resolution version (cached) of the media. LINK is a path (or url) to open _when_ the thumb is clicked on by the user.

ij[CW;H;FULL-PATH\nGROUP][\n][cmd1][\r\n][cmd2]... insert EDJE object with file path given, and the group name given. The command list (and the \n whitespace delimiter before the list) is optional, but is executed/parsed before display of the actual object to do things like initialize its initial state. See `iC` command for more details on the command list.

Be aware that once you have an object with an assigned channel id, it can send back signals and messages via escapes on stdin. These escapes will follow terminology extended escape format (ESC + } ...  00), and the content will be one of:

;CHID\ndrag\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2 ;CHID\ndrag,start\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2 ;CHID\ndrag,stop\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2 ;CHID\ndrag,step\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2 ;CHID\drag,set\nPART NAME\nVAL1\nVAL2 signal;CHID\nSIGNAL STRING\nSOURCE STRING message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring\nSTRING1 message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nint\nINT1 message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nfloat\nFLOAT1 message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_set\nSTRING1\nSTRING2\nSTRING3... message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nint_set\nINT1\nINT2\nINT3... message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nfloat_set\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3... message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_int\nSTRING1\nINT1 message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_float\nSTRING1\nFLOAT1 message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_int_set\nSTRING1\nINT1\nINT2\nINT3... message;CHID\nOPCODE ID\nstring_float_set\nSTRING1\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...

iC[CHID]\n[cmd1][\r\n][cmd2][\r\n][cmd3]... send a COMMAND (cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 etc.) to an existing named channel id CHID. this can be a list of 1 or more command strings, with each string broken by a continuous sequence of 1 or more \r and/or \n characters. e.g. "\n", "\r", "\r\n", "\n\r", "\n\r\n\n\n", etc.

commands understood are:

text\nPART NAME\nTEXT STRING set the text of "PART NAME" to string "TEXT STRING"

emit\nSIGNAL STRING\nSOURCE STRING emit signal "SIGNAL STRING" "SOURCE STRING"

drag\nPART NAME\n[value|size|step|page]\nVAL1\nVAL2 manipulate dragable of name "PART NAME" and either set "value", "size", "step" or "page" properties to "VAL1" and "VAL2" for x and y, where VAL1 and VAL2 are floating point values

chid\nCHANNEL ID set the channel id of a given edje object (only valid in setup commands for the inline edje object) to "CHANNEL ID" so it can be addressed later.

message\nOPCODE ID\n[string|int|float|string_set|int_set|... float_set|string|int|string_float|string_int_set|... string_float_set]\n[message data] send a message with opcode (integer) id "OPCODE ID" of one of the given types supported ("string", "int", "float", etc.) and then with the given "message data" at the end. message data format depends on message type: string: STRING1 int: INT1 float: FLOAT1 string_set: STRING1\nSTRING2\nSTRING3... int_set: INT1\nINT2\nINT3... float_set: FLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3... string_int: STRING1\nINT1 string_float: STRING1\nFLOAT1 string_int_set: STRING1\nINT1\nINT2\nINT3... string_float_set: STRING1\nFLOAT1\nFLOAT2\nFLOAT3...

ib begin media replace sequence run.

ie end media replace sequence run.

fr[PATH/FILE] begin file send for a file named PATH / FILE

fs[SIZE_BYTES] set the size in bytes of a file send started with the above fr escape

fd[CHECKSUM DATA] block of data for the current file transfer with checksum as a string decimal which is the sum of every byte when taken as an unsigned char per byte. the checksum is a signed 32bit integer. the checksum is the sum of the data after escaping. 4 bits at a time per data byte, encoded with high bits in one byte then low bits, with the bits encoded as 4 bit value being 0x40 + 4 bit value per byte. (@ == 0x0, A == 0x1, B == 0x2, ... N == 0xe, O == 0xf). so to rebuild a byte will be (((bytes[0] - 0x40) & 0xf) << 4) | ((bytes[1] - 0x40) & 0xf) per byte pair in the data block.

fx exit file send mode (normally at the end of the file or when it's complete)
