List of non-VT100 functions

• int *vt_getKeypress(): Use this function to get a keystroke from terminal. This funcion uses sleep to check if there is any remaining bytes unread by getchar() to check if lone escape key or multi-byte escape sequences. This function returns VT_KEY_UNDEFINED if an undefined escape sequence has been input.
• vt_enableAnsi(BOOL state): Enable/Disable ANSI VT support on Windows. POSIX systems do not need to run this funciton.
• vt_setEchoCanonical(BOOL state): Enable/Disable echo and canonical input mode. This function implies setvbuf(stdin, NULL, ?1, 0), where ?1 is _IOLBF if state is TRUE and _IONBF if state is FALSE.
