It also offers the utility functions uncolor(), colorstrip(), and colorvalid(), which have to be explicitly imported to be used (see L</SYNOPSIS>). =head2 Supported Colors Terminal emulators that support color divide into two types: ones that support only eight colors, and ones that support sixteen. This module provides both the ANSI escape codes for the "normal" colors, supported by both types, as well as the additional colors supported by sixteen-color emulators. These colors are referred to as ANSI colors 0 through 7 (normal) and 8 through 15. Unfortunately, interpretation of colors 0 through 7 often depends on whether the emulator supports eight colors or sixteen colors. Emulators that only support eight colors (such as the Linux console) will display colors 0 through 7 with normal brightness and ignore colors 8 through 15, treating them the same as white. Emulators that support 16 colors, such as gnome-terminal, normally display colors 0 through 7 as dim or darker versions and colors 8 through 15 as normal brightness. On such emulators, the "normal" white (color 7) usually is shown as pale grey, requiring bright white (15) to be used to get a real white color. Bright black usually is a dark grey color, although some terminals display it as pure black. Some sixteen-color terminal emulators also treat normal yellow (color 3) as orange or brown, and bright yellow (color 11) as yellow. Following the normal convention of sixteen-color emulators, this module provides a pair of attributes for each color. For every normal color (0 through 7), the corresponding bright color (8 through 15) is obtained by prepending the string C<bright_> to the normal color name. For example, C<red> is color 1 and C<bright_red> is color 9. The same applies for background colors: C<on_red> is the normal color and C<on_bright_red> is the bright color. Capitalize these strings for the constant interface. There is unfortunately no way to know whether the current emulator supports sixteen colors or not, which makes the choice of colors difficult. The most conservative choice is to use only the regular colors, which are at least displayed on all emulators. However, they will appear dark in sixteen-color terminal emulators, including most common emulators in UNIX X environments. If you know the display is one of those emulators, you may wish to use the bright variants instead. Even better, offer the user a way to configure the colors for a given application to fit their terminal emulator. Support for colors 8 through 15 (the C<bright_> variants) was added in Term::ANSIColor 3.0. =head2 Function Interface The function interface uses attribute strings to describe the colors and text attributes to assign to text. The recognized non-color attributes are clear, reset, bold, dark, faint, underline, underscore, blink, reverse, and concealed. Clear and reset (reset to default attributes), dark and faint (dim and saturated), and underline and underscore are equivalent, so use whichever is the most intuitive to you. Note that not all attributes are supported by all terminal types, and some terminals may not support any of these sequences. Dark and faint, blink, and concealed in particular are frequently not implemented. The recognized normal foreground color attributes (colors 0 to 7) are: black red green yellow blue magenta cyan white The corresponding bright foreground color attributes (colors 8 to 15) are: bright_black bright_red bright_green bright_yellow bright_blue bright_magenta bright_cyan bright_white The recognized normal background color attributes (colors 0 to 7) are: on_black on_red on_green on yellow on_blue on_magenta on_cyan on_white The recognized bright background color attributes (colors 8 to 15) are: on_bright_black on_bright_red on_bright_green on_bright_yellow on_bright_blue on_bright_magenta on_bright_cyan on_bright_white For any of the above listed attributes, case is not significant. Attributes, once set, last until they are unset (by printing the attribute C<clear> or C<reset>). Be careful to do this, or otherwise your attribute will last after your script is done running, and people get very annoyed at having their prompt and typing changed to weird colors. =over 4 =item color(ATTR[, ATTR ...]) color() takes any number of strings as arguments and considers them to be space-separated lists of attributes. It then forms and returns the escape sequence to set those attributes. It doesn't print it out, just returns it, so you'll have to print it yourself if you want to. This is so that you can save it as a string, pass it to something else, send it to a file handle, or do anything else with it that you might care to. color() throws an exception if given an invalid attribute. =item colored(STRING, ATTRIBUTES) =item colored(ATTR-REF, STRING[, STRING...]) As an aid in resetting colors, colored() takes a scalar as the first argument and any number of attribute strings as the second argument and returns the scalar wrapped in escape codes so that the attributes will be set as requested before the string and reset to normal after the string. Alternately, you can pass a reference to an array as the first argument, and then the contents of that array will be taken as attributes and color codes and the remainder of the arguments as text to colorize. Normally, colored() just puts attribute codes at the beginning and end of the string, but if you set $Term::ANSIColor::EACHLINE to some string, that string will be considered the line delimiter and the attribute will be set at the beginning of each line of the passed string and reset at the end of each line. This is often desirable if the output contains newlines and you're using background colors, since a background color that persists across a newline is often interpreted by the terminal as providing the default background color for the next line. Programs like pagers can also be confused by attributes that span lines. Normally you'll want to set $Term::ANSIColor::EACHLINE to C<"\n"> to use this feature. =item uncolor(ESCAPE) uncolor() performs the opposite translation as color(), turning escape sequences into a list of strings corresponding to the attributes being set by those sequences. =item colorstrip(STRING[, STRING ...]) colorstrip() removes all color escape sequences from the provided strings, returning the modified strings separately in array context or joined together in scalar context. Its arguments are not modified. =item colorvalid(ATTR[, ATTR ...]) colorvalid() takes attribute strings the same as color() and returns true if all attributes are known and false otherwise. =back =head2 Constant Interface Alternately, if you import C<:constants>, you can use the following constants directly: CLEAR RESET BOLD DARK FAINT UNDERLINE UNDERSCORE BLINK REVERSE CONCEALED BLACK RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE MAGENTA CYAN WHITE BRIGHT_BLACK BRIGHT_RED BRIGHT_GREEN BRIGHT_YELLOW BRIGHT_BLUE BRIGHT_MAGENTA BRIGHT_CYAN BRIGHT_WHITE ON_BLACK ON_RED ON_GREEN ON_YELLOW ON_BLUE ON_MAGENTA ON_CYAN ON_WHITE ON_BRIGHT_BLACK ON_BRIGHT_RED ON_BRIGHT_GREEN ON_BRIGHT_YELLOW ON_BRIGHT_BLUE ON_BRIGHT_MAGENTA ON_BRIGHT_CYAN ON_BRIGHT_WHITE These are the same as color('attribute') and can be used if you prefer typing: print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text", RESET, "\n"; to print colored ("Text", 'bold blue on_white'), "\n"; (Note that the newline is kept separate to avoid confusing the terminal as described above since a background color is being used.) When using the constants, if you don't want to have to remember to add the C<, RESET> at the end of each print line, you can set $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET to a true value. Then, the display mode will automatically be reset if there is no comma after the constant. In other words, with that variable set: print BOLD BLUE "Text\n"; will reset the display mode afterward, whereas: print BOLD, BLUE, "Text\n"; will not. If you are using background colors, you will probably want to print the newline with a separate print statement to avoid confusing the terminal. The subroutine interface has the advantage over the constants interface in that only two subroutines are exported into your namespace, versus thirty-eight in the constants interface. On the flip side, the constants interface has the advantage of better compile time error checking, since misspelled names of colors or attributes in calls to color() and colored() won't be caught until runtime whereas misspelled names of constants will be caught at compile time. So, pollute your namespace with almost two dozen subroutines that you may not even use that often, or risk a silly bug by mistyping an attribute. Your choice, TMTOWTDI after all. =head2 The Color Stack As of Term::ANSIColor 2.0, you can import C<:pushpop> and maintain a stack of colors using PUSHCOLOR, POPCOLOR, and LOCALCOLOR. PUSHCOLOR takes the attribute string that starts its argument and pushes it onto a stack of attributes. POPCOLOR removes the top of the stack and restores the previous attributes set by the argument of a prior PUSHCOLOR. LOCALCOLOR surrounds its argument in a PUSHCOLOR and POPCOLOR so that the color resets afterward. When using PUSHCOLOR, POPCOLOR, and LOCALCOLOR, it's particularly important to not put commas between the constants. print PUSHCOLOR BLUE "Text\n"; will correctly push BLUE onto the top of the stack. print PUSHCOLOR, BLUE, "Text\n"; # wrong! will not, and a subsequent pop won't restore the correct attributes. PUSHCOLOR pushes the attributes set by its argument, which is normally a string of color constants. It can't ask the terminal what the current attributes are. =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over 4 =item Bad escape sequence %s (F) You passed an invalid ANSI escape sequence to uncolor(). =item Bareword "%s" not allowed while "strict subs" in use (F) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as: $Foobar = FOOBAR . "This line should be blue\n"; or: @Foobar = FOOBAR, "This line should be blue\n"; This will only show up under use strict (another good reason to run under use strict). =item Invalid attribute name %s (F) You passed an invalid attribute name to either color() or colored(). =item Name "%s" used only once: possible typo (W) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as: print FOOBAR "This text is color FOOBAR\n"; It's probably better to always use commas after constant names in order to force the next error. =item No comma allowed after filehandle (F) You probably mistyped a constant color name such as: print FOOBAR, "This text is color FOOBAR\n"; Generating this fatal compile error is one of the main advantages of using the constants interface, since you'll immediately know if you mistype a color name. =item No name for escape sequence %s (F) The ANSI escape sequence passed to uncolor() contains escapes which aren't recognized and can't be translated to names. =back =head1 ENVIRONMENT =over 4 =item ANSI_COLORS_DISABLED If this environment variable is set, all of the functions defined by this module (color(), colored(), and all of the constants not previously used in the program) will not output any escape sequences and instead will just return the empty string or pass through the original text as appropriate. This is intended to support easy use of scripts using this module on platforms that don't support ANSI escape sequences. For it to have its proper effect, this environment variable must be set before any color constants are used in the program. =back =head1 RESTRICTIONS It would be nice if one could leave off the commas around the constants entirely and just say: print BOLD BLUE ON_WHITE "Text\n" RESET; but the syntax of Perl doesn't allow this. You need a comma after the string. (Of course, you may consider it a bug that commas between all the constants aren't required, in which case you may feel free to insert commas unless you're using $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET or PUSHCOLOR/POPCOLOR.) For easier debugging, you may prefer to always use the commas when not setting $Term::ANSIColor::AUTORESET or PUSHCOLOR/POPCOLOR so that you'll get a fatal compile error rather than a warning. It's not possible to use this module to embed formatting and color attributes using Perl formats. They replace the escape character with a space (as documented in L<perlform(1)>), resulting in garbled output from the unrecognized attribute. Even if there were a way around that problem, the format doesn't know that the non-printing escape sequence is zero-length and would incorrectly format the output. For formatted output using color or other attributes, either use sprintf() instead or use formline() and then add the color or other attributes after formatting and before output. =head1 NOTES The codes generated by this module are standard terminal control codes, complying with ECMA-048 and ISO 6429 (generally referred to as "ANSI color" for the color codes). The non-color control codes (bold, dark, italic, underline, and reverse) are part of the earlier ANSI X3.64 standard for control sequences for video terminals and peripherals. Note that not all displays are ISO 6429-compliant, or even X3.64-compliant (or are even attempting to be so). This module will not work as expected on displays that do not honor these escape sequences, such as cmd.exe, 4nt.exe, and command.com under either Windows NT or Windows 2000. They may just be ignored, or they may display as an ESC character followed by some apparent garbage. Jean Delvare provided the following table of different common terminal emulators and their support for the various attributes and others have helped me flesh it out: clear bold faint under blink reverse conceal ------------------------------------------------------------------------ xterm yes yes no yes yes yes yes linux yes yes yes bold yes yes no rxvt yes yes no yes bold/black yes no dtterm yes yes yes yes reverse yes yes teraterm yes reverse no yes rev/red yes no aixterm kinda normal no yes no yes yes PuTTY yes color no yes no yes no Windows yes no no no no yes no Cygwin SSH yes yes no color color color yes Mac Terminal yes yes no yes yes yes yes Windows is Windows telnet, Cygwin SSH is the OpenSSH implementation under Cygwin on Windows NT, and Mac Terminal is the Terminal application in Mac OS X. Where the entry is other than yes or no, that emulator displays the given attribute as something else instead. Note that on an aixterm, clear doesn't reset colors; you have to explicitly set the colors back to what you want. More entries in this table are welcome. Note that codes 3 (italic), 6 (rapid blink), and 9 (strike-through) are specified in ANSI X3.64 and ECMA-048 but are not commonly supported by most displays and emulators and therefore aren't supported by this module at the present time. ECMA-048 also specifies a large number of other attributes, including a sequence of attributes for font changes, Fraktur characters, double-underlining, framing, circling, and overlining. As none of these attributes are widely supported or useful, they also aren't currently supported by this module. =head1 SEE ALSO ECMA-048 is available on-line (at least at the time of this writing) at L<http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-048.htm>. ISO 6429 is available from ISO for a charge; the author of this module does not own a copy of it. Since the source material for ISO 6429 was ECMA-048 and the latter is available for free, there seems little reason to obtain the ISO standard. The current version of this module is always available from its web site at L<http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/ansicolor/>. It is also part of the Perl core distribution as of 5.6.0. =head1 AUTHORS Original idea (using constants) by Zenin, reimplemented using subs by Russ Allbery <rra@stanford.edu>, and then combined with the original idea by Russ with input from Zenin.
