Subject: [RFC] Alternative color configuration for dmesg
Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2023 19:32:03 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e6370090700c26776e2ce6444a05a2d2@manjaro.org> (raw)
Hello,
I'd like to implement support for an additional, alternative way for the
color configuration in the dmesg utility. It would use an environment
variable to store the color configuration, in a way rather similar to
what grep(1) does using the GREP_COLORS environment variable.
The rationale behind this new feature is the ability to have everything
contained in one's ~/.bashrc, for example, with no need for additional
configuration files, which makes setting up, using and keeping multiple
machines in sync much easier. Of course, the current way of using
configuration files to store the color configuration for dmesg would
remain untouched, so everyone would be free to make a choice.
Would you, please, accept a patch that implements the above-described
new feature?
