I also like the idea, but detest the environment variable. When we recently added coloring to 'diff' (see diffutils 3.4), we chose --color to turn things on, but --palette to specify which colors to use rather than an environment variable. In fact, if we want to add 'cat --palette', it might be nice to retrofit 'ls --color --palette' where the command line takes precedence over the environment variable LS_COLORS. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
