visual.h

Tiny single header C lib for simple ANSI escape codes usage. It's really simple, but can save you a little time and make your code look a bit nicer.

There are no guaranties, that this lib will fully work in work in your terminal, please, test it out before using.

Also, please include stdio.h to make it work!

Usage

To apply an attribute, just format it into your message, for example: printf(BOLD "Display bold text and reset.\n" RESET);, or call a function.

Keep in mind, that when an attribute is set, it will be applied to everything, until reseted or disabled!

Use RESET and RESETF() to reset everything.

CLEAR() returns the terminal to the initial state.
