 `dircolors': Color setup for `ls'
 =================================
 
    `dircolors' outputs a sequence of shell commands to set up the
 terminal for color output from `ls' (and `dir', etc.).  Typical usage:
 
      eval `dircolors [OPTION]... [FILE]`
 
    If FILE is specified, `dircolors' reads it to determine which colors
 to use for which file types and extensions.  Otherwise, a precompiled
 database is used.  For details on the format of these files, run
 `dircolors --print-database'.
 
    The output is a shell command to set the `LS_COLORS' environment
 variable.  You can specify the shell syntax to use on the command line,
 or `dircolors' will guess it from the value of the `SHELL' environment
 variable.
 
    The program accepts the following options.  Also see  Common
 options.
 
 `-b'
 `--sh'
 `--bourne-shell'
      Output Bourne shell commands.  This is the default if the `SHELL'
      environment variable is set and does not end with `csh' or `tcsh'.
 
 `-c'
 `--csh'
 `--c-shell'
      Output C shell commands.  This is the default if `SHELL' ends with
      `csh' or `tcsh'.
 
 `-p'
 `--print-database'
      Print the (compiled-in) default color configuration database.  This
      output is itself a valid configuration file, and is fairly
      descriptive of the possibilities.
