Support
Most terminal emulators running on Unix-like systems (such as xterm and the OS X Terminal) interpret ANSI escape sequences. The Linux console (the text seen when X is not running) also interprets them. Terminal programs for Microsoft Windows designed to show text from an outside source (a serial port, modem, or socket) also interpret them. Some support for text from local programs on Windows is offered through alternate command processors such as JP Software's TCC (formerly 4NT), Michael J. Mefford's ANSI.COM, and Jason Hood's ansicon.
Many Unix console applications (e.g., ls, grep, Vim, and Emacs) can generate them. Utility programs such as tput output them, as well as in low-level programming libraries, such as termcap or terminfo, or a higher-level library such as curses.

Famous quotes containing the word support:
“At the Carter Center we work with victims of oppression, and we give support to human rights heroes.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“In erotic love, two people who were separate become one. In motherly love, two people who were one become separate. The mother must not only tolerate, she must wish and support the child’s separation.”
—Erich Fromm (20th century)
