7 Parser for implementing virtual terminal emulators in Rust.
9 The parser is implemented according to [Paul Williams' ANSI parser state
10 machine]. The state machine doesn't assign meaning to the parsed data and is
11 thus not itself sufficient for writing a terminal emulator. Instead, it is
12 expected that an implementation of the `Perform` trait which does something
13 useful with the parsed data. The `Parser` handles the book keeping, and the
14 `Perform` gets to simply handle actions.
