Introduction

Support terminal escape sequences to produce styled and colored terminal output.

Derived types provided

ansi_code type

The ansi_code type represent an ANSI escape sequence with a style, foreground color and background color attribute. By default the instances of this type are empty and represent no escape sequence.

Status

Experimental

Example

```{literalinclude} ../../example/ansi/example_ansi_color.f90 :language: fortran

## Procedures and methods provided

### ``to_string``

Generic interface to turn a style, foreground or background enumerator into an actual escape code string for printout.

#### Syntax

`string =` {f:func}`to_string` `(code)`

#### Class

Pure function.

#### Argument

``code``: Style, foreground or background code of ``ansi_code`` type,
          this argument is ``intent(in)``.

#### Result value

The result is a default character string.

#### Status

Experimental

#### Example

```{literalinclude} ../../example/ansi/example_ansi_to_string.f90
:language: fortran

operator(+)

Add two escape sequences, attributes in the right value override the left value ones.

Syntax

code = lval + rval

Class

Pure function.

Argument

lval: Style, foreground or background code of ansi_code type, this argument is intent(in). rval: Style, foreground or background code of ansi_code type, this argument is intent(in).

Result value

The result is a style, foreground or background code of ansi_code type.

Status

Experimental

Example

```{literalinclude} ../../example/ansi/example_ansi_combine.f90 :language: fortran

### ``operator(//)``

Concatenate an escape code with a string and turn it into an actual escape sequence

#### Syntax

`str = lval // rval`

#### Class

Pure function.

#### Argument

``lval``: Style, foreground or background code of ``ansi_code`` type or a character string,
          this argument is ``intent(in)``.
``rval``: Style, foreground or background code of ``ansi_code`` type or a character string,
          this argument is ``intent(in)``.

#### Result value

The result is a character string with the escape sequence prepended or appended.

#### Status

Experimental

#### Example

```{literalinclude} ../../example/ansi/example_ansi_concat.f90
:language: fortran
