ANSICOLOR

Use built-in runtime ANSI color sequences

USupported on UNIX

The ANSICOLOR environment variable uses the ANSI color sequences built into the Synergy runtime to generate color.

Value

Any value.

Discussion

You can use ANSICOLOR to display color on devices that support ANSI color. (Synergy does not support color from terminfo; however, ANSICOLOR enables your application to use ANSI color regardless of the value of TERM.) You do not need to use ANSICOLOR if your terminal is a VT100-series terminal (VT100, VT220, etc.), if TERM is set to ansi or xterm, or if you’ve already added the Synergy color codes to the termcap database and intend to run the termcap runtime.
