Can anyone provide an example from my above question, it would be best way to understand.

With that being said, to answer you: Yes this is how I tried (see below).

Now, since I couldnt properly interpret the 'man output' that was pasted here, an example was requested so that I could understand better.

Code:

fgrep -i "XYZ-1124354-P" mylog.log | tr "\001" " " | sed G --color
 
&
 
fgrep -i "XYZ-1124354-P" mylog.log | tr "\001" " " | sed G | --color

There is no "error" that comes from using above examples. It just shows no color.

Thank You

xcmsconvertcolors

XcmsConvertColors(3X11) 												   XcmsConvertColors(3X11)

NAME

       XcmsConvertColors - convert CCC color specifications

SYNOPSIS

       Status XcmsConvertColors(ccc, colors_in_out, ncolors, target_format, compression_flags_return)
	       XcmsCCC ccc;
	       XcmsColor colors_in_out[];
	       unsigned int ncolors;
	       XcmsColorFormat target_format;
	       Bool compression_flags_return[];

ARGUMENTS

       Specifies the CCC. If Conversion is between device-independent color spaces only (for example, TekHVC to CIELuv), the CCC is necessary only
       to specify the Client White Point.  Specifies an array of color specifications. Pixel members are ignored and remain unchanged upon return.
       Returns	an  array  of Boolean values indicating compression status. If a non-NULL pointer is supplied, each element of the array is set to
       True if the corresponding color was compressed and False otherwise. Pass NULL if the compression status is not useful.  Specifies the  num-
       ber of XcmsColor structures in the color-specification array.  Specifies the target color specification format.

DESCRIPTION

       The  XcmsConvertColors  function converts the color specifications in the specified array of XcmsColor structures from their current format
       to a single target format, using the specified CCC. When the return value is XcmsFailure, the contents of the color specification array are
       left unchanged.

       The array may contain a mixture of color specification formats (for example, 3 CIE XYZ, 2 CIE Luv, and so on). When the array contains both
       device-independent and device-dependent color specifications and the target_format argument specifies a device-dependent format (for  exam-
       ple, XcmsRGBiFormat, XcmsRGBFormat), all specifications are converted to CIE XYZ format and then to the target device-dependent format.
