macros and utilities for printing color to stdout from https://www.quora.com/How-do-I-print-a-colored-output-in-C Pass a COLORS_x enum value into print_colored and the color will be printed on stdout Note that if you want to disable printing of that color you'll have to send the COLORS_RESET enum value through to make non-bold change 0->1 (0;31m red) vs (1;31m bold red) More...
