NAME
       opendircolors --	Generate colors	for ls(1)

SYNOPSIS
       opendircolors [-bch] file

DESCRIPTION
       The  opendircolors  utility reads the inputed file and generates	values

       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

	       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 oc-
       curs.
