NAME

App::hr - Print horizontal bar on the terminal

VERSION

This document describes version 0.260 of App::hr (from Perl distribution App-hr), released on 2018-12-22.

SYNOPSIS

 use App::hr qw(hr hr_r);
 hr;

Sample output:

 =============================================================================

Set pattern:

 hr('x----');

Sample output:

 x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x-

Use random color and random pattern:

 hr_r;

You can also use the provided CLI hr.

NO_COLOR

COLOR

FUNCTIONS

hr([ $pattern [, $color ] ]) => optional STR

Print (under void context) or return (under scalar/array context) a horizontal ruler with the width of the terminal.

Terminal width is determined using Term::Size.

$pattern is optional, can be multicharacter, but cannot be empty string. The defautl is =.

Under Windows, will shave one character at the end because the terminal cursor will move a line down when printing at the last column.

If $color is set (to a color supported by Term::ANSIColor) and colored output is enabled, output will be colored. Colored output is enabled if: 1) no NO_COLOR environment variable is defined; 2) COLOR is undefined or true, or program is run interactively.

hr_r => optional STR

Like hr, but will set random pattern and random color.

hr_app

Usage:

 hr_app(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Print horizontal bar on the terminal.

hr can be useful as a marker/separator, especially if you use other commands that might produce a lot of output, and you need to scroll back lots of pages to see previous output. Example:

 % hr; command-that-produces-lots-of-output
 ============================================================================
 Command output
 ...
 ...
 ...
 
 % hr -r; some-command; hr -r; another-command

Usage:

 % hr
 ============================================================================
 
 % hr -c red  ;# will output the same bar, but in red
 
 % hr --random-color  ;# will output the same bar, but in random color
 
 % hr x----
 x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x----x
 
 % hr -- -x-  ;# specify a pattern that starts with a dash
 % hr -p -x-  ;# ditto
 
 % hr --random-pattern
 vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
 
 % hr --random-pattern
 *---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---*---
 
 % hr -r  ;# shortcut for --random-pattern --random-color
 
 % hr --help

If you use Perl, you can also use the hr function in App::hr module.

This function is not exported.

  Specify a color (see Term::ANSIColor).

• random_pattern => bool

• space_after => int (default: 0)
