Describe the bug
$ oxend print_height
2022-07-11 15:04:49.662 I Oxen 'Wistful Wagyu' (v10.1.2-d826fbee0-dev)

Looking at the above, h=$(oxend print_height | tail -n 1)
ought to be a trivial operation, but it's not. I have to pipe oxend
's output through sed
or similar to de-ANSI-fy it. Otherwise:
$ h=`oxend print_height | tail -n 1`
$ echo $h
?2004l
oxend
should respect $TERM
(e.g. TERM=dumb
) and use isatty(3)
before deciding to use ANSI control sequences in its output.
At the very least, can we please have a --no-ansi
flag or something similar for the purposes of scripting?
