+There are a limited number of function escapes to output terminal escape
+sequences. These sequences are retrieved from the
+.IR terminfo (5)

+(\fIfgcolor\fR\^) and (\fIbgcolor\fR\^) set the foreground and
+background colors respectively.  Both of these escapes take one literal
+argument, the color name, which can be one of: black, red, green, yellow,
+blue, magenta, cyan, white.  (\fIresetterm\fR\^) resets all terminal
+attributes back to their default setting.
+.PP
+All of these terminal escape should be used in conjunction with
+(\fIzputlit\fR\^) (preferred) or (\fIputlit\fR\^), as the normal
+(\fputstr\fR\^) function will strip out control characters.
