CLICOLOR

.. versionadded:: 3.21

.. include:: include/ENV_VAR.rst

Set to 0 to tell command-line tools not to print color messages even if connected to a terminal. This is a common convention_ among command-line tools in general.

See also the :envvar:NO_COLOR and :envvar:CLICOLOR_FORCE environment variables. If either of them is activated, it takes precedence over :envvar:!CLICOLOR.

See the :variable:CMAKE_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS variable to control color in a generated build system.
