Status provides tools to output short status messages (in a terminal) in a Linux/SysV init fashion.

Basic usage :

sw := status.NewWriter(termWidth)
sw.Pendingf("Doing some stuff %v", x)
sw.MkSuccess().Done()

Example :

Currently status allows you to use 4 different statuses :

• pending (....)
• success (PASS)
• warning (WARN)
• failure (FAIL)

Please have a look at the godoc and at the unit tests for further usage details

A status message can be updated (text or status) until the "Done()" method is called.

Please note that status relies on ansicolor to add a bit of color in its output (with a windows support)

Status was initially developped for the gobot project and was written while learning/discovering go
