unit: print the color status marks on the left
The alignment of the "[ OK ]" and "[FAILED]" status marks to the right side of the terminal makes it difficult to link them with the messages on the left if your console is wide. I considered the options: 1. Align them to the 80th column regardless of the console width. Disadvantage - either: - truncating messages needlessly, not using available space; or - If the message is long, write the mark over it. => ugly 2. Write them to the 80th column for short messages, and further to the right for longer ones. Disadvantage: - jagged look 3. Write the marks on the left, before the message. Disadvantage: - Breaks tradition from RHL. Advantages: + slightly simpler code + Will annoy holy-traditionalists. I chose option 3. BTW, Debian now uses similar marks on the left with its makefile-style boot. Special values of the "status" argument to status_vprintf are: NULL - no status mark, no message indentation "" - no status mark, message indented as if the mark was there
