NOTES

59       Attribute values may contain arbitrary UTF-8, including control charac‐
60       ters.  Proceed with caution when reading and printing variable values.
61
62       Only  certain  attributes  can be set or cleared from within terminals.
63       Attempting to set or clear other attributes will have no effect.
64
65       termy-query uses escape sequences that are specific  to  TermySequence.
66       Running under other terminal emulators will have undefined results.
67
68       termy-query  is  an  alias  for termy-server; both functions are imple‐
69       mented by the same binary.
