Lix now heeds `NO_COLOR`/`NOCOLOR` for more output types, such as that used in `nix search`, `nix flake metadata` and similar.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It also now supports `CLICOLOR_FORCE`/`FORCE_COLOR` to force colours regardless of whether there is a terminal on the other side.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It now follows rules compatible with those described on <https://bixense.com/clicolors/> with `CLICOLOR` defaulted to enabled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That is to say, the following procedure is followed in order:
|
||
|
|
- NO_COLOR or NOCOLOR set
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Always disable colour
|
||
|
|
- CLICOLOR_FORCE or FORCE_COLOR set
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enable colour
|
||
|
|
- The output is a tty; TERM != "dumb"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Enable colour
|
||
|
|
- Otherwise
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Disable colour
