patch 9.0.1827: xxd: no color support
Problem: xxd: no color support
Solution: Add color support using xxd -R
Add some basic color support for xxd
The hex-value and value are both colored with the same color depending
on the hex-value, e.g.:
0x00 = white
0xff = blue
printable = green
non-printable = red
tabs and linebreaks = yellow
Each character needs 11 more bytes to contain color. (Same color in a
row could contain only one overhead but the logic how xxd creates colums
must be then changed.) Size of colored output is increased by factor of
~6. Also grepping the output will break when colors is used.
Flag for color is "-R", because less uses "-R".
Color uses parameters auto,always,never same as less and grep (among
others).
E.g.
xxd -R always $FILE | less -R
Add some screen-tests (that currently on work on linux) to verify the
feature works as expected.

.TH EVIM 1 "2002 February 16" .SH NAME evim \- easy Vim, edit a file with Vim and setup for modeless editing .SH SYNOPSIS .br .B evim [options] [file ..] .br .B eview .SH DESCRIPTION .B eVim starts .B Vim and sets options to make it behave like a modeless editor. This is still Vim but used as a point-and-click editor. This feels a lot like using Notepad on MS-Windows. .B eVim will always run in the GUI, to enable the use of menus and toolbar. .PP Only to be used for people who really can't work with Vim in the normal way. Editing will be much less efficient. .PP .B eview is the same, but starts in read-only mode. It works just like evim \-R. .PP See vim(1) for details about Vim, options, etc. .PP The 'insertmode' option is set to be able to type text directly. .br Mappings are setup to make Copy and Paste work with the MS-Windows keys. CTRL-X cuts text, CTRL-C copies text and CTRL-V pastes text. Use CTRL-Q to obtain the original meaning of CTRL-V. .SH OPTIONS See vim(1). .SH FILES .TP 15 /usr/local/lib/vim/evim.vim The script loaded to initialize eVim. .SH AKA Also Known As "Vim for gumbies". When using evim you are expected to take a handkerchief, make a knot in each corner and wear it on your head. .SH SEE ALSO vim(1) .SH AUTHOR Most of .B Vim was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others. See the Help/Credits menu.
