acoc - arbitrary command output colourer
acoc command [arg1 .. argN] acoc -h|--help|-v|--version
acoc is a regular expression based colour formatter for programs that display output on the command-line. It works as a wrapper around the target program, executing it and capturing the stdout stream. Optionally, stderr can be redirected to stdout, so that it, too, can be manipulated.
acoc then applies matching rules to patterns in the output and applies colour sets to those matches. If the $ACOC environment variable is set to 'none', acoc will not perform any colouring.

acoc is only as good as the configuration file that it uses. If you compose pattern-matching rules that you think would be useful to other people, please send them to me for inclusion in a subsequent release.
