I really like the macros used for ANSI sequences from everything you ever wanted to know about terminals.
everything you ever wanted to know about terminals
#include <unistd.h>
#define szstr(str) str,sizeof(str)
#define plain "0" /* or "" */
#define no "2"
#define bright "1"
#define dim "2"
#define italic "3"
#define underline "4"
#define reverse "7"
#define with ";"
#define ansi_esc "\x1b"
#define fmt(style) ansi_esc "[" style "m"
int main() {
write(1, szstr( "plain text - "
fmt(right) "bright text" fmt(no bright) " - "
fmt(dim) "dim text" fmt(no dim) " - "
fmt(italic) "italic text" fmt(no italic) " - "
fmt(reverse) "reverse video" fmt(plain) " - "
fmt(underline) "underlined text" fmt(no underline) ")
);
}
And then you can write code like this: `fmt(underline with bright with no italic)`. And the blog post keeps adding to this! Eight colors, 256 colors, true colors, and so on.
