Configuration file for the color ls utility

January 19, 2017 ยท View on GitHub

Synchronized with coreutils 8.5 dircolors

This file goes in the /etc directory, and must be world readable.

You can copy this file to .dir_colors in your $HOME directory to override

the system defaults.

COLOR needs one of these arguments: 'tty' colorizes output to ttys, but not

pipes. 'all' adds color characters to all output. 'none' shuts colorization

off.

COLOR tty

Extra command line options for ls go here.

Basically these ones are:

-F = show '/' for dirs, '*' for executables, etc.

-T 0 = don't trust tab spacing when formatting ls output.

OPTIONS -F -T 0

Below, there should be one TERM entry for each termtype that is colorizable

EIGHTBIT, followed by '1' for on, '0' for off. (8-bit output)

Below are the color init strings for the basic file types. A color init

string consists of one or more of the following numeric codes:

Attribute codes:

00=none 01=bold 04=underscore 05=blink 07=reverse 08=concealed

Text color codes:

30=black 31=red 32=green 33=yellow 34=blue 35=magenta 36=cyan 37=white

Background color codes:

40=black 41=red 42=green 43=yellow 44=blue 45=magenta 46=cyan 47=white

#NORMAL 00 # no color code at all #FILE 00 # normal file, use no color at all RESET 0 # reset to "normal" color DIR 00;34 # directory LINK 00;36 # symbolic link (If you set this to 'target' instead of a # numerical value, the color is as for the file pointed to.) MULTIHARDLINK 00 # regular file with more than one link FIFO 40;33 # pipe SOCK 00;35 # socket DOOR 00;35 # door BLK 40;33;01 # block device driver CHR 40;33;01 # character device driver ORPHAN 40;31 # symlink to nonexistent file, or non-stat'able file MISSING 00;05;37;41 # ... and the files they point to SETUID 37;41 # file that is setuid (u+s) SETGID 33 # file that is setgid (g+s) CAPABILITY 30;41 # file with capability STICKY_OTHER_WRITABLE 30;42 # dir that is sticky and other-writable (+t,o+w) OTHER_WRITABLE 34;42 # dir that is other-writable (o+w) and not sticky STICKY 37;44 # dir with the sticky bit set (+t) and not other-writable

This is for files with execute permission:

EXEC 32

List any file extensions like '.gz' or '.tar' that you would like ls

to colorize below. Put the extension, a space, and the color init string.

(and any comments you want to add after a '#')
