# allowing you to control the position and appearance of the terminal cursor.
# Use these variables to move the cursor around the screen,
# hide and show it, and save and restore its position.

# Example usage:
# printf "$SAVE_CURSOR"
# printf "$MOVE_UP"
# printf "$MOVE_LEFT"
# printf "Hello, world!"
# printf "$RESTORE_CURSOR"
