Escape code / character

An Escape code is a command for a string interpretting programm to treat following characters as a command (but not as simple text, as by default).

There are different notations for an ASCII escape code:

	#!/bin/bash
	#
	# This file echoes a bunch of color codes to the
	# terminal to demonstrate what's available. Each
	# line is the color code of one forground color,
	# out of 17 (default + 16 escapes), followed by a
	# test use of that color on all nine background
	# colors (default + 8 escapes).
