== CTerm terminal characteristics
=== End of line behaviour (wrapping):
The cursor is moved to the first character of the next line
as soon as a character is written to the last column of the
current line, not on the next character. A tab will wrap
to the next line only if the current cursor position is the
last character on the line. This behavior is often surprising
to people who are used to VT emulators which implement the LCF
as documented in STD-070, who expect the cursor to "stick" in
the last column until the next character is received.
There are two settable flags that will impact the default
behaviour.
`CSI ? 7 l` will disable wrapping at the end of line
completely, and any characters written to the last column will
not move the cursor at all, overwriting the existing charater.
Default behaviour can be restored with `CSI ? 7 h`.
If the `CSI = 4` h sequence is received, CTerm will enable LCF
mode as documented in STD-070, and `CSI = 4 l` will restore
default behaviour. `CSI = 5 h` will set LCF mode and disable
`CSI = 4 l`, as well as cause LCF to remain enabled across
an `ESC c` (RIS).
Specifically, the LCF will be
set when displaying a printable character advances the cursor
to the right margin, and cleared by any of the following being
received:
`CSI ? 6 h`, `CSI ? 6 l`, `CSI ? 7 l`, `CSI @`, `CSI A`, `CSI B`, `CSI a`
`CSI j`, `CSI H`, `CSI f`, `CSI I`, `CSI Y`, `CSI J`, `CSI K`, `CSI P`
`CSI X`, `CSI r`, `ESC E`, `ESC M`, `CR`, `LF`, `BS`, `TAB`
Any normal printable character when the cursor is at the right
margin (of the screen or scrollable area).
== Control characters
=== `0x00` NUL (`NUL`)
In doorway mode, indicates that the next character is
a literal character. The IBM CP437 character will
be displayed. This allows ESC and other control
characters to be placed on the screen.
SOURCE: <<BANSI>>
=== `0x07` Bell (`BEL`)
Beep
=== `0x08` Backspace (`BS`)
Non-destructive backspace. Moves cursor position to
the previous column unless the current column is the
first, in which case no operation is performed.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `0x09` Horizontal Tab (`HT`)
Moves to the next horizontal tab stop. Does not overwrite
any characters in between. If there are no tab stops left
in the line, moves to the first position of the next line.
If the starting position is on the last line, will perform
a scroll, filling the new line at bottom with the current
attribute.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `0x0A` Line Feed (`LF`)
Move cursor position to same column of the next row.
If current row is the last row, scrolls the screen up
and fills the new row with the current attribute.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `0x0D` Carriage Return (`CR`)
Move cursor position to column 1 of the current line
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `0x1B` Escape (`ESC`)
Introduces a control code. The `ESC` and the next byte
together form the control code. If the control code is
not valid, the `ESC` is ignored.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
== Control Codes
Control codes are in the following format: +
`ESC {'0'` to `'~'}`
Legal combinations which are not handled are silently dropped.
=== `ESC E` Next Line (`NEL`)
Moves to the line home position of the next line.
(Same as `CR` `LF`)
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC H` Set Tab (`HTS`)
Sets a tab stop at the current column
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC M` Reverse Line Feed (`RI`)
Move up one line
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC P` Device Control String (`DCS`)
Begins a string consisting of the characters 0x08 - 0x0d and
0x20-0x7e, terminated by a String Terminator (`ST`)
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
==== Supported `DCS` string values
`CTerm:Font:p1:<b64>` CTerm Loadable Font (`CTLF`)::
Indicates the string is a loadable font. (CTerm 1.213)
+
`p1` is a font slot number, which must be higher than the last
default defined font (See `CSI sp D` for list of predefined
fonts). `<b64>` is the base64 encoded font data. Font size is
deduced from the size of the data. This replaces the now
deprecated `CSI = Ps1 ; Ps2 {`
`[ p1 [ ; p2 ] ] q` Sixel Sequence::
Defaults: `p1` = 0 `p2` = 0
Indicates the string is a sixel sequence.
+
`p1` selects the vertical height of a single pixel. This
may be overridden by the raster attributes command, and
is deprecated. Supported values
+
.Supported Values of `p1`
[%autowidth]
|===
|Value |Vertical Size
|0,1,5,6
|2 pixels
|2
|5 pixels
|3,4
|3 pixels
|7,8,9
|1 pixel
|===
+
`p2` indicates if unset sixels should be set to the current
background colour. If p2 is 1, positions specified as 0
remain at their current colour.
+
Any additional parameters are ignored.
+
The rest of the string is made up of sixel data characters and
sixel control functions. Sixel data characters are in the
range of `?` (0x3f) to `~` (0x7e). Each sixel data character
represents six vertical pixels. The data is extracted by
subtracting 0x3f from the ASCII value of the character.
The least significant bit is the topmost pixel.
+
.Sixel Control Functions
`! Pn X` Graphics Repeat Introducer:::
The character X is repeated Pn times.
`" p1 ; p2 [ ; p3 [ ; p4 ] ]` Raster Attributes:::
p1 indicates the vertical size in pixels of each sixel.
p2 indicates the horizontal size in pixels.
p3 and p4 define the height and width (in sixels)
respectively of a block to fill with the background
colour. This block may not extend past the current
bottom of the screen. If any pixel data characters
proceed this command, it is ignored.
`# p1` Colour Select:::
Selects the current foreground colour from the
sixel palette.
`# p1 ; p2 ; p3 ; p4 ; p5` Palette map:::
Defines sixel palette entry p1 and sets it as the
current foreground colour. p2 specifies the colour
space to define the colour in, the only supported
value is 2. p3, p4, and p5 specify the red, green,
and blue content as a percentage (0-100).
`$` Graphics Carriage Return:::
Returns the active position to the left border of
the same sixel row. Generally, one pass per colour
is used. In passes after the first one, sixels
with a value of zero are not overwritten with the
background colour.
`-` Graphics New Line:::
Moves the active position to the left border of the
next sixel row.
+
SOURCE: <<VT330340,[VT330/340]>>
`$ q pt` Request Status String (`DECRQSS`)::
`pt` is the intermediate and/or final characters of a control
function to query the status of. The terminal will send a
response in the format
+
`DCS p1 $ r pt ST`
+
`p1` is 1 if the terminal supports querying the control
function and 0 if it does not.
+
`pt` is the characters in the control function except the `CSI`
characters.
+
.Currently supported values of pt:
[%autowidth]
|===
|`pt` |Request SGR parameters
|r
|Request top and bottom margins
|s
|Request left and right margins
|t
|Request height in lines
|$\|
|Request width in columns
|*\|
|Request height in lines
|===
+
SOURCE: <<VT420>>
`p1 [ ; p2 [ ; p3 ] ! z` Define Macro (`DECDMAC`)::
Defaults: `p2` = 0 `p3` = 0
+
Sets a macro to be replayed using `CSI Pn * z`
+
`p1` is the macro number to set, and must be between 0 and
63 inclusive.
+
If `p2` is zero, the macro numbered `p1` will be deleted. If
`p2` is one, all macros are deleted.
+
If `p3` is zero, the macro is defined using ASCII characters
(0x20 - 0x7e and 0xa0 - 0xff only) if `p3` is one, the macro
is defined using hex pairs.
+
When the macro is defined using hex pairs, a repeat
sequence may be included in the format of `! Pn ; D..D ;`
`Pn` specifies the number of repeats (default of one instance)+
`D..D` is the sequence of pairs to send Pn times. The
terminating ; may be left out if the sequence to be
repeated ends at the end of the string.
+
SOURCE: <<VT420>>
=== `ESC X` Start Of String (`SOS`)
As the above strings, but may contain any characters except
a Start Of String sequence or a String Terminator sequence.
The string is currently ignored.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC \` String Terminator (`ST`)
Ends a string.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC ]` Operating System Command (`OSC`)

hex digits representing the value of the
red, green, and blue channels respectively.
+
SOURCE: <<XTerm>>
`104 [ ; Ps ... ]`::
Resets palette entry to default. If the entire string
is "104" (ie: no `Ps` present), resets all colours. Otherwise, only each index
separated by a semicolon is reset.
+
SOURCE: <<XTerm>>
=== `ESC ^` Privacy Message (`PM`)
Begins a string consisting of the characters 0x08 - 0x0d and
0x20-0x7e, terminated by a String Terminator (`ST`)

SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
=== `ESC _` Application Program Command (`APC`)
Begins a string consisting of the characters 0x08 - 0x0d and
0x20-0x7e, terminated by a String Terminator (ST)
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
SyncTERM implements the following APC commands:
`SyncTERM:C;S Ps1 Ps2` Store file (`CTSFI`)::
Where `Ps1` is a filename and `Ps2` is the base64 encoded
contents of the file. The named file is stored in the
cache directory for the current connection.
`SyncTERM:C;L [ ; Ps]` List Files (`CTLFI`)::
Defaults: `Ps` = * +
`Ps` is the glob(3) pattern to use matching files.
SyncTERM responds with
an `APC` string with lines separated by newlines. The
first line is always `SyncTERM:C;L\n` and for each
matching file, a line in the form
`<Filename> TAB <MD5 sum> LF` is sent
(ie: "coolfont.fnt\t595f44fec1e92a71d3e9e77456ba80d1\n")
`SyncTERM:C;SetFont; Pn ; Ps` Set Font (`CTSF`)::
Where `Pn` is a font slot number (max 255) and `Ps` is a
filename in the cache. This sets font slot `Pn` to use
the specified font file.
`SyncTERM:C;DrawPPM Ps... Ps1` Draw a PPM from Cache (`CTDPFC`)::
Draws a PPM from the cache directory on the screen.
`Ps1` is the filename and is required. Arguments for
`Ps` are optional. The following options can be included
(separated by semi-colons):
+
--
`SX=#`:::
Sets the left X position in the specified image
to copy from. Default = 0.
`SY=#`:::
Sets the top Y position in the specified image
to copy from. Default = 0.
`SW=#`:::
Sets the width of the portion of the image to
copy. Default = Image width - `SX`
`SH=#`:::
Sets the height of the portion of the image to
copy. Default = Image height - `SH`
`DX=#`:::
Sets the X position on the screen to draw the
image at. Default = 0.
`DY=#`:::
Sets the Y position on the screen to draw the
image at. Default = 0.
`MX=#`:::
Sets the X position in the mask to start
applying from. Default = 0.
`MY=#`:::
Sets the Y position in the mask to start
applying from. Default = 0.
`MW=#`:::
Sets the overall width of the mask (not the
width to apply). If `MFILE` is not specified,
and a mask is (ie: using `MASK=`), this is
required. If `MFILE` is specified, the width
is read from the file.
`MH=#`:::
Sets the overall height of the mask (not the
height to apply). If MFILE is not specified,
and a mask is (ie: using MASK=), this is
required. If MFILE is specified, the width
is read from the file.
`MFILE=<filename>`:::
Specifies a filename in the cache directory of
a PBM file specifying a mask of which pixels
to copy. Any pixel set to black (ie: 1) in the
PBM will be drawn from the source image. Pixels
set to white (ie: 0) will be left untouched.
`MASK=<maskbits>`:::
Specifies a base64-encoded bitmap, each set bit
will be drawn from the source image, cleared
bits will not be drawn. Requires MW= and MH=
to be specified.
`MBUF`:::
Uses the loaded mask buffer.
--
+
The PPM file may be raw (preferred) or text. SyncTERM
does not support more than 255 values per colour channel
and assumes it is correctly using the BT.709 gamma
transfer.
`SyncTERM:C;LoadPPM Ps... Ps0` Load a PPM to Buffer (`CTLPTB`)::
Loads a PPM to a buffer. Ps0 is the filename
`B=#`:::
Selects the buffer (0 or 1 only) to paste from.
`SyncTERM:C;LoadPBM Ps... Ps0` Load a PBM to Buffer (`CTLPBTB`)::
Loads a PBM to a buffer. Ps0 is the filename
`SyncTERM:P;Copy Ps...` Copy Screen into Buffer (`CTCSIB`)::

for use with the Paste function. Defaults to copying
the entire screen.
`B=#`:::
Selects the buffer (0 or 1 only) to copy to.
`X=#`:::
Sets the left X position on the screen to start
copying at. Default = 0.
`Y=#`:::
Sets the top Y position on the screen to start
copying at. Default = 0.
`W=#`:::
Sets the width to copy.
Default = Screen width - X.
`H=#`:::
Sets the height to copy.
Default = Screen height - X.
`SyncTERM:P,Paste Ps...` Paste Buffer to Screen (`CTPBTS`)::
Pastes from the copied buffer. Supports the same
options as the Cache DrawPPM command except for the
filename, and adds the B= option.
`B=#`:::
Selects the buffer (0 or 1 only) to paste from.
=== `ESC c` Reset to Initial State (`RIS`)
Resets all the terminal settings, clears the screen, and homes
the cursor.
SOURCE: <<ECMA-48>>
== Control Sequences:
Control sequences start with the Control Sequence Introducer which is
`ESC [`. `CSI` will be used to express this from now on.
Control sequences are in the following format: +
`CSI {'0' (ZERO) to '?'}{SPACE to '/'}{'@' to '~'}` +
There may be multiple characters from the {'0' (ZERO) to '?'}
and {SPACE to '/'} before the terminating {'@' to '~'} character.
Legal combinations not handled are silently dropped.
Illegal combinations are displayed.
=== Sequence Parameters
Parameters are expressed by the {'0' (ZERO) to '?'} character set.
Sequences which use parameters use decimal parameters separated by
a ';'. The use of a ':' from the set is reserved.
If the parameter string begins with '<', '=', '>', or '?' then
this is a non-standard extension to the ANSI spec.
.Sequence Paramters

=== `CSI Ps c` Device Attributes (`DA`)
Defaults: `Ps` = 0 +
If `Ps` is 0, CTerm will reply with the sequence:
`CSI = 67;84;101;114;109;pN c`
`67;84;101;114;109` is the ASCII values of the "CTerm" string. `pN` is the
revision ID of CTerm with dots converted to semi-colons
(e.g. "1;156"). Use the revision to detect if a specific feature
is available. If you are adding features to a forked version of cterm,
please do so by adding an extra parameter to the end, not by
incrementing any existing one!

All others are ignored.
Blink indicates the blink bit.
Bold indicates the bold bit.
FG indicates the foreground colour.
BG indicates the background colour.
TF indicates that the Tru Colour foreground is changed.
TB indicates that the Tru Colour background is changed.
NOTE: For 90-97, there is no effect unless bright foreground colours
are enabled.
NOTE: For 100-107, there is no effect unless bright background colours
are enabled.
NOTE: For 38 and 48, two additional formats are supported, a palette
selection and a direct colour selection.
For palette selection, an additional two parameters are required
after that value. They are considered part of the 38/48, not separate
values. The first additional parameter must be a 5. The second
additional parameter specified the palette index to use. To set the
foreground to orange, and the background to a fairly dark grey, you
would send:
`CSI 38 ; 5 ; 214 ; 48 ; 5 ; 238 m`
The default palette is the XTerm 256-colour palette. <<colors256,[256colors]>>
For direct colour selection, an additional four parameters are required
after that value. They are considered part of the 38/48, not separate
values. The first additional parameter must be a 2. The second,
third, and fourth specify the R/G/B values respectively. CTerm handles
this with an internal temporary palette, so scrollback may not have the
correct colours. The internal palette is large enough for all cells in
a 132x60 screen to have unique foreground and background colours
though, so the current screen should always be as expected.

Defaults: `Ps` = 1 +
When `Ps` is 1, CTerm will respond with a Font State Report of the form
`CSI = 1 ;pF ;pR ;pS0 ;pS1 ;pS2 ;pS3 n`
`pF` is the first available loadable-font slot number
`pR` is the result of the previous "Font Selection" request:
[%autowidth,cols="1,2"]
|===
|0
|successful font selection
|1
|failed font selection

When `Ps` is 2, CTerm will respond with a Mode Report of the form
`CSI = 2[;pN [;pN] [...]] n`
Where pN represent zero or more mode values set previously
(e.g. via `CSI ? pN h`). Mode values cleared (disabled via `CSI ? pN l`)
will not be included in the set of values returned in the Mode
Report. If no modes are currently set, an empty parameter will be
included as the first and only pN.
When `Ps` is 3, CTerm will respond with a Mode Report of the form
`CSI = 3 ; pH ; pW n`
Where `pH` is the height of a character cell in pixels, and `pW` is
the width of a character cell in pixels.
When `Ps` is 4, CTerm will respond with a Mode Report of the form
`CSI = 4 ; pF n`
Where `pF` is 1 if LCF mode is enabled, and 0 if it is disabled.
When `Ps` is 5, CTerm will respond with a Mode Report of the form
`CSI = 5 ; pF n`
Where pF is 1 if LCF mode is forced, and 0 if it is not.
=== `CSI ? Ps [ ; Pn ] n` Device Status Report (`DECDSR`)
When `Ps` is 62 (`DECMSR`) and there is no `Pn`, CTerm will respond
with a Mode Report of the form
`CSI 32767 * {`
This indicates that 524,272 bytes are available for macro storage.
This is not actually true, SyncTERM will use all available memory
for macro storage, but some software checks this value, and some
parsers don't allow more than INT16_MAX parameter values.
When `Ps` is 63 (DECCKSR) `Pn` defaults to 1, and CTerm will respond
with a checksum of the defined macros in the form
`DCS Pn ! xxxx ST`
Where xxxx is the hex checksum.

Defaults: `Pn1` = 1 `Pn2` = last column on screen +
If either `Pn1` or `Pn2` is zero, the current setting is retained.
Selects left and right margins, defining the scrolling region. `Pn1` is
the column number of the first column in the scrolling region. `Pn2` is
the column number of the right column.
SOURCE: <<XTerm>>
=== `CSI s` Save Current Position (`SCOSC`)
(Only when DEC Left Right Margin Mode - 69 - is disabled)
NON-STANDARD EXTENSION
Saves the current cursor position for later restoring with `CSI u`
although this is non-standard, it's so widely used in the BBS world
that any terminal program MUST implement it.
SOURCE: <<ANSISYS>>
=== `CSI Ps ; Pn1 ; Pn2 ; Pn3 t` Select a 24-bit colour (`CT24BC`)
NON-STANDARD EXTENSION
If `Ps` is 0, sets the background colour.
If `Ps` is 1, sets the foreground colour.
`Pn1`, `Pn2`, `Pn3` contains the RGB value to set.
CTerm handles this with an internal temporary palette, so scrollback
may not have the correct colours. The internal palette is large
enough for all cells in a 132x60 screen to have unique foreground
and background colours though, so the current screen should always
be as expected.
=== `CSI ? Ps... u` Restore Mode Setting (`CTRMS`)
NON-STANDARD EXTENSION
Restores the mode states as saved via `CSI ? s`. If `Ps` is omitted,
restores all such states. If one or more values of `Ps` is included,
restores all the specified states (arguments to `CSI ? l`/`h`)
=== `CSI u` Restore Cursor Position (`SCORC`)
Move the cursor to the last position saved by `CSI s`. If no position
has been saved, the cursor is not moved.
SOURCE: <<ANSISYS>>
=== `CSI 2 $ w` Request Tab Stop Report (`DECTABSR`)

`Pn2` specifies the top row of the rectangle
`Pn3` specifies the left column of the rectangle
`Pn4` specifies the bottom row of the rectangle
`Pn5` specifies the right column of the rectangle
The return value is in the format of `DCS Pn1 ! ~ xxxx ST`
Where xxxx is the hex value of the checksum.

== "ANSI" Music
This is the place where the BBS world completely fell on it's face in ANSI
usage. A programmer with either TeleMate or QModem (the first two programs to
support "ANSI" music as far as I can tell) decided they needed a method of
playing music on a BBS connection. They decided to add an "unused" ANSI code
and go their merry way. Since their product didn't implement `CSI M` (Delete
line) they assumed it was unused and blissfully broke the spec. They defined
"ANSI" music as:
`CSI M <music string> 0x0e`
They used a subset of IBM BASICs PLAY statement functionality for ANSI music
strings which often start with "MF" or "MB", so the M after the CSI was often
considered as part of the music string. You would see things such as:
`CSI MFABCD 0x0e` and the F would not be played as a note. This just added
further confusion to the mess.
Later on, BananaCom realized the conflict between delete line and music, so
they added *another* broken code `CSI N` (Properly, erase in field... not
implemented in many BBS clients) which was to provide an "unbroken" method of
playing music strings. They also used `CSI Y` to disambiguate delete line, `CSI Y`
is supposed to be a vertical tab (also not implemented in very many clients).
BananaCom also introduced many more non-standard and standard-breaking control
sequences which are not supported by CTerm.
CTerm has further introduced a standard compliant ANSI music introducer `CSI |`
By default, CTerm allows both `CSI N` and `CSI |` to introduce a music string.
Allowed introducers are set by `CSI = p1 M` as defined above.
The details of ANSI music then are as follows:
The following characters are allowed in music strings:
"aAbBcCdDeEfFgGlLmMnNoOpPsStT0123456789.-+#<> "
If any character not in this list is present, the music string is ignored as
is the introducing code.
If the introducing code is `CSI M` the first char is examined, and if it is
a one of "BbFfLlSs" or if it is "N" or "n" and is not followed by a decimal
digit, then the music string is treated as though an M is located in front
of the first character.
The music string is then parsed with the following sequences supported:
`Mx`::
sets misc. music parameters where x is one of the following:
+
[%autowidth, cols="1,2"]
|===
|`F`
|Plays music in the foreground, waiting for music to complete
playing before more characters are processed.
|`B`
|Play music in the background, allowing normal processing to continue.
|`N`
|"Normal" not legato, not staccato
|`L`
|Play notes legato
|`S`
|Play notes staccato
|===
`T###`::
Sets the tempo of the music where `+###+` is one or more decimal digits.
If the decimal number is greater than 255, it is forced to 255.
If it is less than 32, it is forced to 32. The number signifies
quarter notes per minute.
The default tempo is 120.
`O###`::
Sets the octave of the music where `+###+` is one or more decimal digits.
If the decimal number is greater than 6, it is forced to 6.
The default octave is 4.
`N###`::
Plays a single note by number. Valid values are 0 - 71. Invalid
values are played as silence. Note zero is C in octave 0.
See following section for valid note modifiers.
`A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or P`::
Plays the named note or pause from the current
octave. An "Octave" is the rising sequence of the following notes:
C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B
The special note `P` is a pause.
Notes may be followed by one or more modifier characters which
are applied in order. If one overrides a previous one, the last
is used. The valid modifiers are:
`+` - Sharp:::
The next highest semitone is played.
Each sharp character will move up one semitone, so "C++"
is equivalent to "D".
`#` - Sharp:::
The next highest semitone is played.
Each sharp character will move up one semitone, so "C##"
is equivalent to "D".
`-` - Flat:::
The next lowest semitone is played.
Each flat character will move down one semitone, so "D--"
is equivalent to "C".
`.` - Duration is 1.5 times what it would otherwise be:::
Dots are not cumulative, so `C..` is equivalent to `C.`
`+###+` - Notelength as a reciprocal of the fraction of a whole note to play the note for:::
For example, 4 would indicate a 1/4 note.
The default note length is 4.
`L###`::
Set the notelength parameter for all following notes which do not have
one specified (ie: override the quarter-note default) Legal note
lengths are 1-64 indicating the reciprocal of the fraction (ie: 4
indicates a 1/4 note).
`<`::
Move the next lowest octave.
Octave cannot go above six or below zero.
`>`::
Move to the next highest octave.
Octave cannot go above six or below zero.
The lowest playable character is C in octave zero. The frequencies for the
six C notes for the seven octaves in rising order are:
65.406, 130.810, 261.620, 523.250, 1046.500, 2093.000, 4186.000
Purists will note that the lower three octaves are not exactly one half of
the next higher octave in frequency. This is due to lost resolution of
low frequencies. The notes *sound* correct to me. If anyone can give me
an excellent reason to change them (and more correct integer values for all
notes) I am willing to do that assuming the notes still sound "right".
NMOTE: If you are playing some ANSI Music then ask the user if they
heard it, ALWAYS follow it with an 0x0f 0x0e is the shift lock character which
*will* cause people with anything but an ANSI-BBS terminal (ie: *nix users
using the bundled telnet app) to have their screen messed up. 0x0f "undoes"
the 0x0e.
