I don't know either. However, I also think Autotest need not wait for standardization in order to gain color support. We can still fix the details later. > ls has these synonyms: > > "always", "yes", "force", > "never", "no", "none", > "auto", "tty", "if-tty", NULL > > We only document the first column which is a good thing.

Thanks for the suggestions. In the attched patch, I also moved the AT_COLOR_TESTS entry up a bit, because the paragraph after AT_TESTED really belongs to the macro definition. And added another diversion HELP_TUNING_BEGIN, to cope with the ordering issues. The patch below has --color equal --color=always. Since I'm less concerned about this detail than about the fact that the patch may not go in at all, I'm adding a second patch, to be squashed in with the first, if you prefer --color to be equal to --color=auto. OK to commit 1 or 1+2? Thanks, Ralf Autotest: enable colored test results. * lib/autotest/general.m4 (HELP_TUNING_BEGIN): New diversion. (HELP_TUNING, HELP_OTHER, HELP_END): Bump diversion numbers.

I've wondered about how general the color codes we use are. Using termcap/terminfo would be most general but since we've had no reports about it yet I think we should stick with the simple hardcoded scheme. I.E. the following currently outputs colors: TERM=dumb ls --color=auto The l¹ script I use to wrap `ls` works around this "limitation" by essentially doing: if ! tput setaf 1 >/dev/null 2>&1 && ! tput AF 1 >/dev/null 2>&1; then color_when=never else color_when=auto fi ls --color=$color_when cheers, Pádraig. ¹ http://www.pixelbeat.org/scripts/l

It seems like it would merely be a matter of unconditionally emitting at_color=3Dno in an early diversion, and having AT_COLOR_TESTS emit at_color=3Dauto in an intermediate diversion, all before the option parsing that appears in a later diversion. That way, if the user didn't specify --color, they pick up the appropriate default. That also implies that anything else that checks at m4-time whether AT_color is defined (such as your m4_ifdef for changing the --help output text) must be m4_wrap'd to delay any output based on that decision of AT_color until after the user's source file has been completely read in. Then again, we already m4_wrap some of our --help text in order to accurately tell the user how many AT_SETUPs we encountered, so this may already be taken care of given the current architecture of autotest. I'll see if I can get some time to help you figure that out, if that wasn't enough of a hint. >> Personally, I like tri-state color options: --color=3Dno or --color=3D= never >> to disable, --color=3Dyes or --color=3Dalways to enable, and --color=3D= auto or >> the simpler --color to depend on tty status.

My quick testing shows that when directed to a tty, both ls and grep treat all four of '--color', '--color=3Dauto', '--color=3Dyes', and '--color=3Dalways' as a command to turn on color. More interesting is collecting the output: ls --color =3D> color ls --color=3Dyes =3D> color ls --color=3Dauto =3D> plain ls --color=3Dalways =3D> color grep --color =3D> plain grep --color=3Dyes =3D> color grep --color=3Dauto =3D> plain grep --color=3Dalways =3D> color That is, ls --color implies ls --color=3Dalways, while grep --color implies grep --color=3Dalways. It's probably worth a bug report to coreutils (cc'd), since I prefer the grep behavior. Should we also raise a bug against the GNU Coding Standards to codify a preferred variant? > I'm also fine with 'never' and > 'auto' as additional synonyms. However, I very much think that if some= > option --foo[=3DARG] accepts no and yes and other arguments, then yes > --foo should be a synonym for --foo=3Dyes, not anything else. So you are arguing yet a third behavior from either coreutils or grep, which is that --color implies --color=3Dyes, but that yes is an alias for= 'auto' rather than 'always'. I could see your behavior making sense as well. But again, it argues for standardization among GNU projects.
