Encode arbitrary byte sequences with ANSI background colors.

You can use the program as a library or as a command line utility.

The library provides a trait ColorCodec<T> that allows arbitrary byte iterators (Iterator<Item = u8>) to encode their bytes as ANSI background color codes or decode them back again. Therefor the trait provides the functions encode() and decode().

The library is no_std as does not require alloc.

You can encode bytes or decode color codes by passing them to ansi-color-codec's STDIN:

$ echo "I use Arch btw" | ansi-color-codec
$ echo "I use Arch btw" | ansi-color-codec | ansi-color-codec -d

For more options, see ansi-color-codec -h.
