ASCII Control Characters

The first thirty-two and the last code point of the ASCII table are all unnamed in most C headers, which makes protocol code full of magic numbers. This snippet defines them once - NUL, SOH, STX, ETX, EOT, ENQ, ACK, BEL, BS, HT, LF, VT, FF, CR, SO, SI, DLE, DC1-DC4, NAK, SYN, ETB, CAN, EM, SUB, ESC, FS, GS, RS, US, DEL - so you can write readable checks like if (ch == ETX). Use it whenever you are parsing raw serial or network protocols by hand.
