For the latest Win32 port of fileutils,
for the 'ls' directory list command, there is an option for color
output 'ls --color'. The defaults for this are green for
executables, red for compressions, and blue for directory. There is an
environment variable LS_COLORS that can be changed to modify the output colors
for the ls command. my question for you is how do you set up the LS_COLORS
variable on a windows machine? I've tried using the dircolors utility to
set the environment variable but that seems to have no affect. I was
wondering if this was a bug in the win32 port of ls. It stands to reason
that since you can get color output from ls --color on a windows cmd console
then you should be able to modify the defaults. There is no good
documentation for the windows version of ls so I cannot verify this. Is it
possible for me to obtain the source code for just the ls win32 binary and not
all of the fileutils source? Thanks for reading this and hopefully you
have an answer for how to change the default color output in windows.
Sincerely,
Justin
