In addition to the stty command, we can also use the tput command to change the parameters and functions of the terminal.
1 Function of tput command
The main functions of the tput command are: moving and changing the cursor, changing text display attributes (such as color, underline, bold), clearing specific areas of the screen, etc.
2 tput command format
tput [options] [parameters]
3 Set text color properties
3.1 tput setaf / setbf: set foreground color / background color
Command format:
- tput setab n: set background color, set text attributes background color
- tput setaf n: set the foreground color, set text attributes front color
Number n:
- 0 – Black, black
- 1 – Red
- 2 – Green
- 3 – Yellow, yellow
- 4 – Blue, blue
- 5 – Magenta, magenta
- 6 – Cyan
- 7 – White
Example: Set the foreground color to yellow (3) and the background color to magenta (5).
csdn @ edu bash ~ $ tput setaf 3 setab 5
csdn @ edu bash ~ $ tput setab 5
csdn @ edu bash ~ $
It seems that you cannot set the foreground color and background color at the same time in one command. You need to set them separately with two commands.
csdn @ edu bash ~ $ tput setaf 3; tput setab 5
csdn @ edu bash ~ $
3.2 tput rev: reverse the current color scheme
Rev comes from reverse.
csdn @ edu bash ~ $ tput setaf 3; tput setab 5
csdn @ edu bash ~ $ tput rev
csdn @ edu bash ~ $
