This is a small cross-platform static C library to bring colors in the console. In posix-compatible systems, it uses [ANSI color formatting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code) and [Console API](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-functions) in Windows.

### How to use

Provide path to libdye header and library for your project and then you can use it:

```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#include "dye.h" // libdye header

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  // Change foreground and background color
  dye(stdout, DYE_WHITE, DYE_NAVYBLUE);
  printf("White text on blue background\n");
  
  // Change only foreground color
  dyefg(stdout, DYE_YELLOW);
  printf("Yellow text on blue background\n");
  
  // Change only background color
  dyebg(stdout, DYE_GREEN)
  printf("Yellow text on green background\n");
  
  // Reset all colors to default
  dye(stdout, DYE_RESET, DYE_RESET);

return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
```

### How to build

Library depends only on [C standart library](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library), `unistd.h` header on Unix, `windows.h` and `io.h` on Windows.

On `Unix` run:
```bash
$ make
```

On `Windows` run:
```bash
$ nmake -f Makefile.nmake
```

As a result, the `release` and `debug` versions of the library will be created in the `build` directory with the corresponding subdirectories.
