digitalmars.D.learn - What is "dmd" Internal API, can I use it just like std Library

Hello everyone, again,

I had an idea that I want some colors in the output of Command 
Line (For Windows) and
the Terminal (For Linux)

I found https://dlang.org/phobos/dmd_console.html and wanted to 
use it.
But it seems I'm not being successful, and I do not understand 
why.

Here, you can see that I'm trying to import dmd.console;


 import std.stdio : writeln;
 import dmd.console;
 
 void main()
 {
     writeln("Hello World");
 }


And the output says that, dmd.console; do not exist?
What are these Internal APIs for?

These are for when you are working on the compiler's source 
itself.

It is internal and it is part of dmd compiler sources but it is not
supposed to be used in normal D code. If you want colors in console
you can try this:
https://github.com/Kripth/terminal

you can use it as a dup dependency or just add terminal.d to your code base

yesterday was talks about terminal colors in IRC-channel:
u can use VT-codes for changing colors:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences#text-formatting

probably for Win10 only. idk for which Linux/Terminals it working 
too


 // Windows code
 import 	std,
 	core.sys.windows.windows;
 
 void main() {
 	auto hc = GetStdHandle( STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE );
 	assert( hc != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE);
 
 	uint mod;
 	auto ok = GetConsoleMode( hc, &mod);
 	assert( ok);
 	ok = SetConsoleMode( hc, mod | 
 ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING );
 	assert( ok);
 
 	writeln( "\x1b[38;2;255;100;0mTRUECOLOR");
 	writeln( "\x1b[30;47mHello from Inversed" );
 	writeln( "\x1b[38;2;255;0;255mTRUECOLOR\x1b[0m" );
           // last "\x1b[0m" - make colors default
 	readln;
 }

Because this is code inside the compiler, when you're compiling the
compiler, not something that you can call from user code.
