Module strip 

ANSI escape stripping built on the byte tokenizer.

Category

strip removes ANSI escape/string/control sequences while preserving printable text and non-ESC control bytes such as newlines and tabs.

Parser conventions

Tokenization recognizes CSI, OSC, DCS, SOS, PM, APC, and two-byte ESC sequences in both 7-bit and 8-bit forms. Escape tokens contribute no output.

Mode interaction

Stripping does not emulate terminal modes. It is a byte-stream transformation suitable for display-width and plain-text extraction paths.

Functions

strip

Return s with ANSI escape sequences removed.
