• How does i3status print
  1 project | /r/i3wm | 8 Feb 2021

It and other programs that do this (e.g. long running commands with progress bars) use terminal escape codes. The relevant source line (as best I can tell) is at https://github.com/i3/i3status/blob/30a32cce3a16e6c79a81aad467cfe13c12e688cb/i3status.c#L662
