Colorized `ls' for Debian (GNU) Linux. Last revised by Erick Branderhorst, August 2, 1996 (fileutils 3.13). Last revised by Syrus Nemat-Nasser, March 29, 1996. The Debian color-ls package is obsolete since the release of GNU fileutils version 3.13 which includes colorized `ls', `dir', `vdir' and `dircolors'. Options for colorized `ls' are described in the on-line help (`ls --help') and the fileutils info pages. Color support can be activated by typing `ls --color'. Man pages exist but aren't kept up to date. Dirk.Eddelbuettel@qed.econ.queensu.ca suggested that the following could be included in /etc/profile (I modified it a little): -- eval `dircolors` alias ls='ls --color=auto '; alias ll='ls -l'; alias dir='ls --color=auto --format=vertical'; alias vdir='ls --color=auto --format=long'; alias ols='/bin/ls'; -- The documentation for color-ls will improve with time and in response to user feedback. Please consider this the Alpha version of this document.
