Function Documentation

enableVTMode()

void enableVTMode

(

void

)

Enables the virtual terminal processing mode on the current Windows Console. When the program ends, the state of the processing mode is restored to what it was before we got to it.

This is for Windows only. Although the mode is enabled in all kinds of Windows console windows (terminal, powershell, etc.), only the Windows Command Prompt needs it; but it doesn't hurt to set it on the others (it's already set on those others).

This function uses an atexit() function to restore the mode on program exit.
