cal: lack of color support disables "standout mode"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

The cal utility seems to check for color support in the current $TERM in
order to turn standout mode on or off. This means that, in a monochrome
terminal, the current/requested day is not highlighted, even if the
terminal has standout mode defined.

While I can force this with --color=always, I'd say it's slightly
confusing that the highlighting is controlled by --color=. If this
behaviour is kept, perhaps the man page could say something about this?
