VT100ühilduvusreiime

VT100ühilduvusreiime refers to compatibility modes or settings that emulate the behavior of the DEC VT100 terminal. The VT100 was a highly influential video terminal introduced by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in 1978. Its design and command set became a de facto standard for text-based terminals for many years, influencing the development of subsequent terminals and terminal emulators.

When software or hardware is said to be in VT100 compatibility mode, it means it can interpret and respond to the control sequences and character sets originally defined by the VT100. This includes specific escape sequences used for cursor movement, text formatting (like bold or blinking), screen clearing, and other terminal operations. This compatibility is crucial for legacy applications that were designed to run on VT100 terminals and have not been updated to support newer terminal standards.

Modern terminal emulators on personal computers, smartphones, and other devices often include VT100 emulation as a default or selectable option. This allows users to connect to and interact with older systems, such as mainframes or embedded systems, that still expect VT100-style input and output. The "ühilduvusreiime" part of the term, likely a combination of Estonian words for "compatibility" and "mode," directly translates to this concept of providing VT100 emulation.
