Hello again,
As I was working on my terminal application (people usually say "terminal
emulator", but I avoid that term since I'm creating a new terminal rather
than emulating one made by someone else), the following question came up:
there is a control sequence called Device Attributes (DA) whose generic
form CSI c requests that the terminal send another DA sequence back to
the host to identify itself. Each DEC terminal, for example, has a unique
DA response.
This is what the ECMA 48 standard (equivalent of ISO 6429) says:
8.3.24 DA - DEVICE ATTRIBUTES
Notation: (Ps)
Representation: CSI Ps 06/03
Parameter default value: Ps = 0
With a parameter value not equal to 0, DA is used to identify
the device which sends the DA. The parameter value is a device
type identification code according to a register which is to be
established. If the parameter value is 0, DA is used to request
an identifying DA from a device.
My question is: does anyone know if such a registry exists and where can
one apply for a DA code assignment? TIA,
MS
