[darcs-devel] [issue610] when to use a $PAGER

2008-02-07 Thread Ori Avtalion 


While the exact use-cases of the pager are still discussed, I noticed that
darcs help command launches a pager, but darcs command --help doesn't.

 This well-commented perl function is_interactive may be of interest 
 when writing code that decides when to show color and use a $PAGER by 
 default and when to not.  It is what the 'ack' utility uses:

The problem is that it's never safe to show color and use a $PAGER by
default at the same time, because color causes many popular pagers to barf
by default.  So it's one or the other, not both.
