cxxsay is a cowsay clone designed to handle gracefully UTF-8 as well as the ANSI escape codes used to color text in terminal emulators.

It also handles ANSI escape sequences properly:
Just like cowsay, cxxsay comes with a "think" alias.
Usage is the same as the original cowsay.
The -h argument or any invalid command will trigger the usage message.

The only thing needed to build cxxsay from source is a C++ compiler able to handle C++11. A sufficiently recent version of g++ or clang should be good enough.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Marneus68/cxxsay.git
You can both build and install everything by running the following as root:
