dircolors: Linux Commands HowTo
dircolors: Colour setup for `ls?
Color setup for `ls?, outputs a sequence of shell commands to
set up the terminal for color output from `ls? (and `dir?, etc.).
Syntax
eval `dircolors [options]... [file]`
If FILE is specified, `dircolors? reads it to determine which colors
to use for which file types and extensions. Otherwise, a precompiled
database is used. For details on the format of these files, run
`dircolors --print-database?.
The output is a shell command to set the `LS_COLORS? environment
variable. You can specify the shell syntax to use on the command line,
or `dircolors? will guess it from the value of the `SHELL? environment
variable.
Options
-b
--sh
--bourne-shell
Output Bourne shell commands. This is the default if the `SHELL?
environment variable is set and does not end with `csh? or `tcsh?.
-c
--csh
--c-shell
Output C shell commands. This is the default if `SHELL? ends with
`csh? or `tcsh?.
-p
--print-database
Print the (compiled-in) default color configuration database. This
output is itself a valid configuration file, and is fairly
descriptive of the possibilities.
