       messages — libbash library that implements a set of functions to print standard status messages

SYNOPSIS

       printOK     [indent]

       printATTN   [indent]

DESCRIPTION

   General
       messages  is  a  collection  of  functions  to  print  standard status messages - those [ OK ] and [FAIL]
       messages you see during Linux boot process.

       The function list:
             printOK          Prints a standard [ OK ] message (green)
             printFAIL        Prints a standard [FAIL] message (red)
             printNA          Prints a standard [ N/A] message (yellow)
             printATTN        Prints a standard [ATTN] message (yellow)
             printWAIT        Prints a standard [WAIT] message (yellow)

       Detailed interface description follows.

   indent
       Column to move to before printing.

       Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in
       case of serial console), it defaults to 80, so default indent is 80-10=10
