# 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 crates 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<(), ()>`
