COLORLESS(1)

💅 COLORLESS(1) — General Commands Manual 💅

Okay so welcome to the colorless(1) page, bestie. This is the General Commands Manual moment, and she’s here to make your command output colorised and send it straight to less(1). 🎀

🍓 NAME 🍓

colorless — enable colorised command output and pipe it to less(1). No cap, that’s the whole name-section vibe. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Three ways to call her, and yes, the brackets are doing main-character work:

colorless [-m] command [args ...]
colorless -a [-cms]
colorless -h

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Okay so colorless is a wrapper. Her whole thing: she enables colorised output of commands, then pipes the output to less(1). That’s it, that’s the lore. 🦋

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -a — Output aliases for all known commands. Like, all of them, periodt. ✨
• -c — Use C shell syntax for alias commands. C-shell girlies, this one’s for you. 💜
• -h — Show usage ("help"). The classic “help me bestie” flag. 🫶
• -m — Do not enable colorised output ("monochrome"). Monochrome mode, no rainbow, just vibes. 🖤
• -s — Use Bourne shell syntax for alias commands. Bourne-shell besties, she sees you. 🌸

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

less(1) — go say hi, she’s the one catching all that piped output. 💌
