Function process_error_output 

pub fn process_error_output(result: Result<()>) -> Result<()>

Processes and formats error output for display to the user.

This function takes a Result and handles error display appropriately based on whether the output is directed to a TTY (terminal) or not. When outputting to a terminal, errors are displayed in red color for better visibility.

Arguments

• result - A Result<()> to process. If it’s an Err, the error will be formatted and written to stderr.

Returns

Always returns Ok(()) regardless of the input result. The actual error handling is done by writing to stderr.

Behavior

• Success case: Does nothing and returns Ok(())
• Error case with TTY: Writes the error to stderr in red color
• Error case without TTY: Writes the error to stderr in plain text

Examples

use xdiff_live::process_error_output;
use anyhow::Result;

fn might_fail() -> Result<()> {
    Err(anyhow::anyhow!("Something went wrong"))
}

let result = might_fail();
process_error_output(result).unwrap();

Note

This function uses the atty crate to detect if stderr is connected to a TTY, allowing it to provide colored output when appropriate while maintaining compatibility with non-interactive environments.
