This is awesome! Always wondered about various terminal settings. Thanks for sharing
As someone who had to make occasional terminal applications I despise ncurses with a passion. Their function naming is opposite from intuitive. Just look at their naming for output functions. To make matters worse, since library is so long winded and annoying to use, they started adding convenience functions which make matters only worse when you are first learning the library because the approach that is taken is to pick seemingly random characters from two or more functions and jumble them in semi-recognizable order.
But swearing is the Linux way, Just ask Linus.
