1 This is a port of the Slackware Linux colorized `ls' program, which is, in
2 turn, adapted from the `ls' program that comes with the GNU `fileutils'
3 package. It is based on GNU fileutils version 3.12. The port installs
4 four programs in `/usr/local/bin': `linuxls', `dir', `vdir' and
5 `dircolors'. It also installs man pages for `linuxls' and `dircolors'.
6 The programs are compatible with their counterparts in Slackware Linux
9 Standard xterm prior to XFree86 3.1.2B doesn't know about colors, so
10 you should use color_xterm or kterm (available from the ports
11 collection) if you are using older versions of XFree86.
15 1. This port modifies the GNU `fileutils' make procedure (as originally
16 patched for Linux) so that it installs only programs and man pages
19 2. Unlike the Slackware Linux version, this port installs `ls' as `linuxls'
20 so it won't conflict with the normal BSD `ls' program or the BSD
21 `colorls' program (the latter available from the ports collection).
23 3. This colorized `ls' program is not the same as the `colorls' program
24 available from the ports collection.
