CLICOLOR_FORCE — CMake 4.1.4 Documentation

# CLICOLOR_FORCE

Added in version 3.5.

This is a CMake Environment Variable. Its initial value is taken from the calling process environment.

Set to a non-empty value, other than `0`, to tell command-line tools to print color messages even if not connected to a terminal. This is a common convention among command-line tools in general.

See also the `NO_COLOR` and `CLICOLOR` environment variables. If `NO_COLOR` is activated, it takes precedence over `CLICOLOR_FORCE`. Otherwise, if `CLICOLOR_FORCE` is activated, it takes precedence over `CLICOLOR`.

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