DECRC—Restore Cursor

Restores the terminal to the state saved by the save cursor (DECSC) function.

Format

ESC 1/11

8 3/8

Description

If nothing was saved by DECSC, then DECRC performs the following actions:

• Moves the cursor to the home position (upper left of screen).
• Resets origin mode (DECOM).
• Turns all character attributes off (normal setting).
• Maps the ASCII character set into GL, and the DEC Supplemental Graphic set into GR.

Notes on DECSC and DECRC

The terminal maintains a separate DECSC buffer for the main display and the status line. This feature lets you save a separate operating state for the main display and the status line.
