// terminals.

// Simply use printf function
// printf("%s Bold text print  %s\n", BOLD, NORMAL);
// printf("%s RED text %s\n", RED, NORMAL);

// detailed information
// see http://www.faqs.org/docs/abs/HTML/colorizing.html

// Also see a listing of the full ANSI escape sequences at:
//     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

// Note that you should replace "\E" with "\033" as the
// escape character because only "\033" conforms to the ISO
// standard, while "\E" is a GNU extension.
