rbtext

Pure-C alternative to something like lolcat on linux.

build

gcc -o rbtext rbtext.c OR make

usage

./rbtext <text> [text...]

install

install -m755 rbtext /usr/bin

runtime configuration

This is done by setting environment variables.

• RBTEXT_FULLSCREEN (default: Enabled, force disable when non-tty) - Clear screen every print (useful for text that will wrap)

example

Runs rbtext without clearing the screen everytime
RBTEXT_FULLSCREEN=-1 ./rbtext hello world

---

Runs rbtext with piped input
`echo "hello world" | ./rbtext`

note on piped input

Piping input will cause rbtext to stop refreshing the screen. This is because it expects constant output, like in the following command: cat /dev/urandom | base -w 0 | ./rbtext
