It renders classic artscene formats such as ANS, PCB, BIN, ADF, IDF, TND, and XBin using DOS and Amiga fonts, SAUCE metadata, iCE colors, and compact 4-bit PNG output. ### Projektgeschichte The official README describes AnsiLove/C as a complete rewrite of AnsiLove/PHP in C. The rewrite was motivated by independence from a PHP interpreter, performance, portability, and the desire for a reusable C foundation that could support libraries and embedding. The 4.0.0 release in 2019 switched the command-line program to libansilove, added DOS aspect-ratio handling, improved SAUCE parsing, and added support for PabloDraw 24-bit ANSI sequences. Later releases continued the package-maintainer-friendly path: CMake improvements, tests, optional seccomp support, and links to additional distro packages. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The README lists packages for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Solus, Gentoo, Homebrew, Guix, and Nix, making Ansilove a cross-distro preservation tool for ANSI art collections. It also names downstream or user projects such as 16colo.rs, Textfiles.com, Durdraw, and emacs-ansilove. Its adoption is tied less to everyday shell scripting and more to digital preservation and artscene tooling. Archives use it to generate preview images from text-mode art, while editors and viewers can embed its renderer through libansilove or shell out to the CLI. ### Wie es verwendet wird The ansilove command takes an input file and writes a PNG, with flags for output path, font, columns, file type, iCE colors, DOS aspect ratio, Retina scale, and SAUCE inspection. In most package-manager installs it is a single-purpose media converter rather than a general terminal filter. No official config file or credential store is documented; behavior is controlled by CLI flags and build options. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Ansilove is package-nerd catnip because it packages a niche cultural format with serious portability discipline. The upstream cares about C99, GCC and Clang, BSD platforms, CMake, man pages, test cases, and distro links, all for the humble job of turning CP437-era art into inspectable PNGs. It also demonstrates a clean split between a CLI package and a reusable rendering library, libansilove, which matters for downstream tools that want faithful ANSI-art rendering without reimplementing SAUCE, font, and palette behavior. ### Zeitleiste - 2019: Ansilove/C 4.0.0 switches to libansilove and expands rendering behavior. - 2020: 4.1.x releases add type selection, seccomp work, SAUCE rendering hints, and portability fixes. - 2022: 4.1.6 documents experimental seccomp support and modernizes CMake usage. - 2023: 4.2.0 adds Spleen 8x16 font support. - 2025: 4.2.1 adds project and package links including Durdraw and Guix. - 2026: 4.2.2 fixes Topaz font selection from SAUCE metadata. ### Related projects - libansilove is the rendering library used by current Ansilove/C. - AnsiLove/PHP is the earlier implementation from which the C rewrite departed. - Durdraw and emacs-ansilove are documented downstream users. ### Quellen - - - source_facts.package-manager ## 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:** ansilove - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - ansilove - 4.2.0-2: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: ansilove from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | ANSI and ASCII art to PNG converter | https://www.ansilove.org - Nix - ansilove: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/an/ansilove/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - ansilove - 4.2.0-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: ansilove from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | ANSI and ASCII art to PNG converter | https://www.ansilove.org - zypper - ansilove - 4.2.1-1.3: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: ansilove from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/be8d3611d25469107f32075a1697e69ec57a2b850b42348a658cc671ad5ec2b50760d02c3e59524d50da9a11d5be799bdaffba2e166e8ca8858512e3c0bd665d-primary.xml.zst | ANSI and ASCII art to PNG converter | https://www.ansilove.org ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [Media and graphics packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/media-graphics-tools/) - Matched media, image, audio, video, or graphics metadata. - [Homebrew utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew-utility-packages/) - Matched Homebrew package provider. - [cmake](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cmake/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [durdraw](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/durdraw/) - Popular package that depends on this formula. - [aalib](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/aalib/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ascii-art, cli, graphics, media. - [gd](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/gd/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media, png. - [swiftdraw](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/swiftdraw/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media, png. - [alembic](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/alembic/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [batik](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/batik/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [coin3d](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/coin3d/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [dicebear](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dicebear/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, graphics, media. - [jp2a](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/jp2a/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
