The function called denotes the color +used with +.Fn einfo +being green, +.Fn ewarn +being yellow and +.Fn eerror +being red. +einfo goes to stdout and the others go to stderr. +The number of real characters printed is returned. +.Fn ebegin +is identical to +.Fn einfo +except that 3 dots are appended to the output. +.Pp +.Fn einfov , +.Fn ewarnv +and +.Fn ebeginv +work the same way to +.Fn einfo , +.Fn ewarn , +and +.Fn ebegin +respectively, but only work when +.Va EINFO_VERBOSE +is true. You can also make the +.Fn einfo , +.Fn ewarn , +and +.Fn ebegin +functions silent by setting +.Va EINFO_QUIET +to true. +.Pp +These functions are designed to output a whole line, so they also +append a newline to the string. To stop this behaviour, you can use the +functions +.Fn einfon , +.Fn ewarnn , +.Fn eerrorn , +.Fn einfovn , +.Fn ewarnvn , +and +.Fn ebeginvn . +.Pp +.Fn eend , +.Fn ewend , +.Fn eendv +and +.Fn ewendv +are the counterparts to the above functions. If +.Fa retval +is zero then ok in green is printed in a bracket at the end of the prior +line. Otherwise we print the formatted string using +.Fn error +(or +.Fn ewarn +if +.Fn ewend +is called) !! in red (or yellow if +.Fn ewend +is called) is printed in a bracket at the end of the line. +The value of +.Fa retval +is returned. +.Pp +.Fn ebracket +does the same as +.Fn eend +but prints +.Fa msg +instead of ok or !! in the color +.Fa color +at the column +.Fa col . +.Pp +.Fn eindent +indents subsequent calls to the above functions by 3 characters. +.Fn eoutdent +removes an +.Fn eindent . +.Fn eindentv +and +.Fn eoutdentv +only work when +.Va EINFO_VERBOSE +is true. +.Pp +.Fn eprefix +prefixes the string +.Fa prefix +to the above functions. +.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES +einfo can optionally be linked against the +.Lb libtermcap +so that we can correctly query the connected console for our color and +cursor escape codes. +If not, then we have a hard coded list of terminals we know about that support +the commonly used codes for color and cursor position. +.Sh ENVIRONMENT +.Va EINFO_QUIET +when set to true makes the +.Fn einfo +and +.Fn einfon +family of functions quiet, so nothing is printed. +.Va EERROR_QUIET +when set to true makes the +.Fn eerror +and +.Fn eerrorn +family of functions quiet, so nothing is printed. +.Pp +.Va EINFO_VERBOSE +when set to true makes the +.Fn einfov +and +.Fn einfovn +family of functions work, so they do print. +.Sh FILES +.Pa /etc/init.d/functions.sh +is provided by OpenRC, which allows shell scripts to use the above functions. +For historical reasons our verbose functions are prefixed with v instead of +suffixed. So einfov becomes veinfo, einfovn becomes veinfon. +Rinse and repeat for the other verbose functions. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr printf 3 , +.Sh AUTHORS +.An Roy Marples <roy@marples.name> |
