From bbd01435b9f3f1f60355b95f157170ec52c6353d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Glass Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 10:42:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] patman: Use ANSI colours only when outputting to a terminal It is easy to detect whether or not the process is connected to a terminal, or piped to a file. Disable ANSI colours automatically when output is not to a terminal.
