Usage
Specific tput sub-commands are discussed later.
Direct
Call tput as part of a sequence of commands:
tput setaf1;echo"this is red text"
Use ; instead of && so if tput errors the text still shows.
Shell variables
Another option is to use shell variables:
red=`tput setaf 1`green=`tput setaf 2`reset=`tput sgr0`echo"${red}red text ${green}green text${reset}"
tput produces character sequences that are interpreted by the terminal as having a special meaning. They will not be shown themselves. Note that they can still be saved into files or processed as input by programs other than the terminal.
Command substitution
It may be more convenient to insert tput's output directly into your echo strings using command substitution:
echo"$(tput setaf 1)Red text $(tput setab 7)and white background$(tput sgr 0)"
Example
The above command produces this on Ubuntu:
Foreground & background colour commands
tput setab[1-7]# Set the background colour using ANSI escapetput setaf[1-7]# Set the foreground colour using ANSI escape
Colours are as follows:
Num Colour #define R G B 0 black COLOR_BLACK 0,0,0 1 red COLOR_RED 1,0,0 2 green COLOR_GREEN 0,1,0 3 yellow COLOR_YELLOW 1,1,0 4 blue COLOR_BLUE 0,0,1 5 magenta COLOR_MAGENTA 1,0,1 6 cyan COLOR_CYAN 0,1,1 7 white COLOR_WHITE 1,1,1
There are also non-ANSI versions of the colour setting functions (setb instead of setab, and setfinstead of setaf) which use different numbers, not given here.
Text mode commands
tput bold# Select bold modetput dim# Select dim (half-bright) modetput smul# Enable underline modetput rmul# Disable underline modetput rev# Turn on reverse video modetput smso# Enter standout (bold) modetput rmso# Exit standout mode
Cursor movement commands
tput cup Y X# Move cursor to screen postion X,Y (top left is 0,0)tput cuf N# Move N characters forward (right)tput cub N# Move N characters back (left)tput cuu N# Move N lines uptput ll# Move to last line, first column (if no cup)tput sc# Save the cursor positiontput rc# Restore the cursor positiontput lines# Output the number of lines of the terminaltput cols# Output the number of columns of the terminal
Clear and insert commands
tput ech N# Erase N characterstput clear# Clear screen and move the cursor to 0,0tput el1# Clear to beginning of linetput el# Clear to end of linetput ed# Clear to end of screentput ich N# Insert N characters (moves rest of line forward!)tput il N# Insert N lines
Other commands
tput sgr0# Reset text format to the terminal's defaulttput bel# Play a bell
With compiz wobbly windows, the bel command makes the terminal wobble for a second to draw the user's attention.
Scripts
tput accepts scripts containing one command per line, which are executed in order before tputexits.
Avoid temporary files by echoing a multiline string and piping it:
echo-e"setf 7\nsetb 1"|tput-S# set fg white and bg red
