# Output-VT100
|
||
|
||
This simple crates allows developers to enable ANSI escape characters in Windows' console, be it CMD or PowerShell. Its usage is very simple, as shown below:
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
extern crate output_vt100;
|
||
|
||
fn main() {
|
||
output_vt100::init();
|
||
println!("\x1b[31mThis text is red!\x1b[0m");
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
If you wish to ensure the `output_vt100::init()` function is only ran once, you can use the crate [ctor](https://crates.io/crates/ctor). Be aware though it might not be suited for every use case, as explained on the crate’s presentation.
|
||
|
||
```rust
|
||
extern crate output_vt100;
|
||
extern crate ctor;
|
||
use ctor::*;
|
||
|
||
#[ctor]
|
||
fn init_term() {
|
||
output_vt100::init();
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
fn main() {
|
||
println!("\x1b[31mThis text is red!\x1b[0m");
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Not that init panics on error, if you do not wish to panic, use
|
||
`output_vt100::try_init` which returns a `Result<(), InitError>`
