I have a document with terminal control characters (raw characters, depending on how you name those) embedded to display bold fonts, set colors, etc. cat this document works fine. But I want to display this text in a ncurses program retaining its terminal control characters. Do functions like waddstr understand terminal control characters? Do I have to parse those characters by myself?
