Example: ghostty-vt SGR Parser

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt SGR parser to parse terminal styling sequences and extract text attributes.

This example demonstrates parsing a complex SGR sequence from Kakoune that includes curly underline, RGB foreground/background colors, and RGB underline color with mixed semicolon and colon separators.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
