Console output, ANSI color, logging and user querying
Global configuration parameters (read from OpamGlobalConfig, and the environment when necessary)
val verbose : unit -> bool
val utf8_extended : unit -> bool
val disp_status_line : unit -> bool
General text formatting
type text_style = [
| `black
| `blue
| `bold
| `crossed
| `cyan
| `green
| `magenta
| `red
| `underline
| `white
| `yellow
]
Settable attributes for ANSI terminal output. Nesting is generally not handled.
Helper coloring functions. Returns the string unchanged if color is disabled
val colorise' : text_style list -> string -> string
val acolor : text_style -> Stdlib.out_channel -> string -> unit
val acolor_w : int -> text_style -> Stdlib.out_channel -> string -> unit
Logging
val timer : unit -> unit -> float
Timers, only active when debug is on. Returns the time between the application to each argument, in seconds
val log :
string ->
?level:int ->
('a, Stdlib.out_channel, unit) Stdlib.format ->
'a
log section ~level fmt args
. Used for debug messages, default level is 1
val slog : ('a -> string) -> Stdlib.out_channel -> 'a -> unit
Helper to pass stringifiers to log (use log "%a" (slog to_string) x
rather than log "%s" (to_string x)
to avoid costly unneeded stringifications
val error : ('a, unit, string, unit) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
val warning : ('a, unit, string, unit) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
val note : ('a, unit, string, unit) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
val errmsg :
('a, Stdlib.out_channel, unit, unit, unit, unit) Stdlib.format6 ->
'a
Message without prefix, reformat or newline, to stderr (useful to continue error messages without repeating "ERROR
")
val msg : ('a, Stdlib.out_channel, unit, unit) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
val status_line : ('a, unit, string, unit) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
Display a dynamic status line to stdout, that will be erased on next output. The message should not be wider than screen nor contain newlines.
val confirm : ?default:bool -> ('a, unit, string, bool) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
Ask the user to press Y/y/N/n to continue (returns a boolean). Defaults to true (yes) if unspecified
val read : ('a, unit, string, string option) Stdlib.format4 -> 'a
Read some input from the user (returns a string option)
