OPENDIRCOLORS(1)	     General Commands Manual		OPENDIRCOLORS(1)

NAME
     opendircolors -- Generate colors for ls(1)

SYNOPSIS
     opendircolors [-bch] file

DESCRIPTION
     The  opendircolors  utility reads the inputed file and generates values for
     LSCOLORS and LS_COLORS.  This is a near drop in replacement for GNU's  dir-
     colors(1),  except  it  does  not contain -p or have any default values. If
     file is a single dash (`-') opendircolors reads from the standard input.

     The options are as follows:

     -b, --sh, --bourne-shell
	     Format the output for use with a bourne-shell.

     -c, --csh, --c-shell
	     Format the output for use with csh(1) or tcsh(1).

     -h, --help

ENVIRONMENT
     LSCOLORS
	     The color string used for ls(1).

     LS_COLORS
	     The color string for GNU ls(1) and various other utilities such  as
	     tree(1).

EXIT STATUS
     The opendircolors utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLE
     Add  'eval  "`opendircolors ~/.dir_colors`"' to your .shrc to automatically
     set LSCOLORS and LS_COLORS.
