Its official project description frames it mainly as a build-output aid for making warnings and errors stand out. ### Projektgeschichte The official SourceForge file RSS lists `hilite/1.5/hilite.c` with a November 2001 publication date, indicating a compact single-C-file release style rather than a large repository-driven project. A 2001 project news post discusses attempts to push this standard-error-highlighting idea deeper into shells, xterms, ttys, and pseudo-terminal handling, which explains both the utility's purpose and the practical limits that kept it as an explicit wrapper command. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The input package map shows hilite packaged by Homebrew and MacPorts. That is suitable for a tiny build-output helper: it has enough command-line utility to live in package managers, but not enough official project material to support a broad ecosystem history. ### Wie es verwendet wird The intended use is to prefix a build or other noisy command with `hilite`, letting normal output pass while visually distinguishing text written to standard error. The project news notes that running an interactive shell under hilite is possible in a limited sense, but terminal job-control and pseudo-terminal behavior make full transparent shell integration difficult. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren hilite is package-nerd interesting as a tiny Unix filter around the stdout/stderr distinction. It represents the class of small tools that package managers keep around because they solve one terminal annoyance with almost no ceremony. Its thinness is also the limit: official sources support the purpose, release artifact, and tty discussion, but not a deep roadmap or active ecosystem. ### Zeitleiste - 2001: SourceForge news post discusses the shell/tty limits around transparent stderr highlighting. - 2001: SourceForge file feed lists hilite 1.5 source as `hilite.c`. ### Related projects - Shells, xterm-style terminals, and pseudo-terminal handling are the related operating-system concepts discussed by the project's own news post. - Build tools such as make are the natural use case because they produce warning and error streams where stderr highlighting helps. ### Quellen - File feed: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hilite/rss?path=/ - News post: https://sourceforge.net/rest/p/hilite/news/2001/08/the-struggle-continues/ - Project REST metadata: https://sourceforge.net/rest/p/hilite - Project page: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hilite/ ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** hilite - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - MacPorts - hilite: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: sysutils/hilite/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [glib](https://pkg.so/de/brew/glib/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [libdeflate](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libdeflate/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [hello](https://pkg.so/de/brew/hello/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [libdatrie](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libdatrie/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [ccache](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ccache/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [nspr](https://pkg.so/de/brew/nspr/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [cffi](https://pkg.so/de/brew/cffi/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [apr](https://pkg.so/de/brew/apr/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: c, cli, developer-tools. - [bam](https://pkg.so/de/brew/bam/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
