# vtfmt: quick and friendly terminal colors for bash

`vtfmt` is yet another helper to output ANSI escape codes for colors/graphic

mode on terminals.  It can both be used as a standalone tool or directly sourced

from your bash scripts.



## Usage

```bash

#!/usr/bin/env bash

source vtfmt

# direct output

echo -en "$(vtfmt bg:light-magenta fg:black bold) vtfmt $(vtfmt reset) "

echo -e "This utility is by no means $(vtfmt fg:green)feature $(vtfmt underline)complete.$(vtfmt reset) "

echo -e "And yet it can do quite some things considering how $(vtfmt bold)small$(vtfmt normal) it is!"

echo ""

declare -f vtfmt

echo ""

# or basically anywhere to compose different color modes

WARN_C="$(vtfmt bg:yellow fg:black) WARN $(vtfmt reverse) %s$(vtfmt reset)\n"

INF_C="$(vtfmt bg:green fg:black) INFO $(vtfmt reverse) %s$(vtfmt reset)\n"

ERR_C="$(vtfmt bg:red fg:black)  ERR $(vtfmt reverse) %s$(vtfmt reset)\n"

function inf  { printf "$INF_C" "$*" ; }

function err  { printf "$ERR_C" "$*" ; }

function warn { printf "$WARN_C" "$*" ; }

inf "some info"

warn "you have been warned"

err "such an error"

```
