arch_msgs

arch_msgs provides macros to print messages in the style that is used by Arch Linux scripts. Command line tools written in Rust can print command line messages for errors, warnings, etc. with this crate in the same style as Arch Linux scripts do.

In an Arch Linux installation, corresponding functions are contained in the script /usr/share/makepkg/util/message.sh and used by other scripts such as makepkg or mkarchroot.
