You need to pass it the `--color=tty' option. You can also pre-define a lot of these options in either /usr/local/etc/DIR_COLORS or ~/.dir_colors, then use the `dircolors' program to parse that file and set up some convenient aliases for you. `dircolors' is built as part of the port. Check out the man page. I've enclosed the DIR_COLORS file I use as a starting point; I probably should have included it in the port. In any case, the dircolors man page explains its syntax. ---- Brian Clapper, bmc@telebase.com, http://www.netaxs.com/~bmc/ Man who falls in blast furnace is certain to feel overwrought. ---------- Begin Enclosure # Configuration file for the color ls utility # This file goes in the /etc directory, and must be world readable. # COLOR needs one of these arguments: 'tty' colorizes output to ttys, but not # pipes.
