MESSAGES(3) libbash messages Library Manual MESSAGES(3)NAME
messages -- libbash library that implements a set of functions to print standard status messages
SYNOPSIS
printOK [indent]

printFAIL Prints a standard [FAIL] message (red)
printNA Prints a standard [ N/A] message (yellow)

Detailed interface description follows.
indent

Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
