termcolor-c #

Simple color printing in C

Example #

#include "termcolor.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    cprint("Passed\n", FG_GREEN);
    cprint("Failed\n", FG_RED);

    char *msg = "Hello!!";
    char *new;
    color(msg, new, FG_BLUE);
    printf("%s\n", new);

    return 0;
}

Quick start #

Add termcolor as a dependency #

git submodule add git@github.com:JakeRoggenbuck/termcolor-c.git

For CMakeLists.txt (if you are using that) #

-add_executable(project_name ${SOURCES})
+add_executable(project_name ${SOURCES} termcolor-c/src/termcolor.c)
+include_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/termcolor-c/src)

Add the color printing code #

#include "termcolor.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    cprint("Hello World!\n", FG_GREEN);
    return 0;
}

I made this just in case I start writing a bunch of CLI stuff in C in the next few months before college, and during college as well. So far, here are my favorites:
