Hi everyone, we (the NetworkManager crowd) are currently pondering addition of terminal-colors.d(5) support to nmcli, our command line utility. We intend to be consistent with the specification and ideally implement it the same way as the existing implementations. There's several details I feel should be cleared up before my work [1] could be merged. [1] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/? h=lr/nmcli-colors&id=db7479c Here's my notes: 1.) It is unclear whether multiple .schem files should override each other or be merged. We use the overriding behavior -- take the highest priority one and ignore the rest. 2.) Is "name.schem" or "@term.schem" "more specific"? We assume it's "name.schem". 3.) What is the "Color names" paragraph for? How was the set chosen? (Why is "white" not present?) Can it be used in place of an ansi-sequence and translated somehow? We just ignore it. 4.) Of what use would "Escape sequences" in ansi-sequence be? We don't accept that. 5.) We don't implement TERMINAL_COLORS_DEBUG because it's unclear what should it do. Perhaps you could help me getting things done right, comment on the points above, and maybe figure out how can the manual be improved for future implementers?
