Is there a standard C header containing ansi escape sequences for say vt100 ?

More a library than a header, but I think you are looking for termcap or its modern replacement terminfo.
Or perhaps the higher-level curses. Or in this case, the drop-in replacement ncurses.

can you elaborate? I thought most systems switched over to the [terminfo](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminfo)? Though, yes, (n)curses is the right way to access the terminal information DB. – Dummy00001 Sep 06 '10 at 10:25

@Dummy00001 Yes, it seems that terminfo should be mentioned. – Pascal Cuoq Sep 06 '10 at 11:32

The answer is no, this kind of hardware-specific stuff is not in the C standard.
