    import "github.com/lunixbochs/vtclean"
    vtclean.Clean(line string, color bool) string

Command line example:

    $ echo -e '\x1b[1;32mcolor example
    color forced to stop at end of line
    backspace is ba\b\bgood
    no beeps!\x07\x07' | ./vtclean -color

    color example
    color forced to stop at end of line

    no beeps!

Go example:

    package main

    import (
        "fmt"
        "github.com/lunixbochs/vtclean"
    )

    func main() {
        line := vtclean.Clean(
            "\033[1;32mcolor, " +
            "curs\033[Aor, " +
            "backspace\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\b\033[K", false)
        fmt.Println(line)
    }
