Here's the script that I use to see how things look and remind me of the
codes. Don't forget to put in the escapes where appropriate. Or use the
script in the attached file.
======cut======
#!/bin/sh
gawk ' BEGIN {
print "[7m 0 black 1 red 2 green 3 yellow 4 blue 5
magenta 6 cyan 7 white [0m"
for (F = 30; F < 38; F++) {
for (I = 0; I < 2; I++) {
for (B = 40; B < 48; B++) {
printf "[%i;%i;%im%i;%i;%i[5m;5[0;37;40m
", I, F, B, I, F, B
}
printf "\n"
}
}
exit 0
}' | \
sed -e 's/ $//'
echo '[7m 7 = reverse video = 30;47 [0m
[5;8;44m 8 = conceal = 30 [0m'
echo 'ln;colH = set cursor position, #A = up, #B = down, #C = right, #D
= left,
s = save cursor position, u = restore cursor position
2J = clear screen, K = clear to end of line, 7l = no line wrapping'

Enjoy!

The one I use came with the documentation of an ftp/sftp client I use,
yafc. Tis information is very hard to come by if one is in a bind, so I'll
include it here. Yafc's info file says:

Colors
======
Escape codes can be used to display colors in the transfer strings
and the prompts. All escape codes must be surrounded by %{ and %} pairs
for readline to correctly wrap long lines.
The built-in command `ls' has an option `--color'. You must set the
environment variable LS_COLORS (or LS_COLOURS) for this to work. See
manpage for GNU ls(1) and *note dircolors: (fileutils)dircolors
invocation, for information how to do this. If you don't set
LS_COLO[U]RS, you can still use the `--color' option, since Yafc
provides some default settings.
ANSI attribute codes
--------------------
An ANSI escape sequence has the format `ESC[X;Ym', where `ESC' is
the escape character (octal 033). `X' and, optionally, `Y', is one of
the following escape codes:
* attribute codes
- 00 = none
- 01 = bold
- 04 = underscore
- 05 = blink
- 07 = reverse
- 08 = concealed
* text color codes
- 30 = black
- 31 = red
- 32 = green
- 33 = yellow
- 34 = blue
- 35 = magenta
- 36 = cyan
- 37 = white
* background color codes
- 40 = black
- 41 = red
- 42 = green
- 43 = yellow
- 44 = blue
- 45 = magenta
- 46 = cyan
- 47 = white
For example, the sequence `ESC[1;32myafc rulesESC[0m' will be the
string `yafc rules' in bright green, after which the attribute is
restored to normal.
