.SH EXTENDED ESCAPES FOR TERMINOLOGY:
.
.TP
.B [\\\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'

.B 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]
  = quque 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\n
    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/link\n/full/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 clikc on the given media image.

    example:

      printf("\\\033}is#5;3;%s\000"
             "\\\033}ib#####\\\033}ie\\\n"
             "\\\033}ib#####\\\033}ie\\\n"
             "\\\033}ib#####\\\033}ie\\\n", "/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 paramaters 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 paramaters 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 paramaters are
    identical to the "is" command, but uses thumbnail generation to
    make a fast to load but low resolution version (cached) of the media.

ib
  = begin media replace sequence run

ie
  = end media replace sequence run
