It emits ANSI escape sequences in order to +color lines of text; also, sequences emitted by colorize or foreign +programs may be cleared. + +The main code is written in C (c89 mostly), whereas the test script +consists of Perl code. + +Colorize is known to build and test successfully on Linux and +Net/Open/MirBSD. Other platforms are untested, so be prepared for +it to eventually not work as expected there. + +Requirements +------------ +gcc +make +perl + +Build instructions +------------------ +Issue `make' to build colorize. + +Once completed, run the tests with `make check'. + +Then you should most likely have a working binary. There are +currently no make targets to install it as such. + +Finally, remove it through `make clean'. + +Documentation +------------- +See man page source file: colorize.1. + +Afterword +--------- +Let me know, if you have ideas, bug reports, patches, etc. + +Author +------ +Steven Schubiger <stsc@refcnt.org> |
