Subject: [Eug-lug] req 4 help |walter

Recently I ventured into some file which contained text in various colors. I would like help finding the file which defines the meaning of the different colors or is it colours ? I have tried various combinations of man| grep | ls -lh |colors to no avail

Walter, you should have told us which editor/viewer you are using, and what the file's name is. If the file is a script or source code several linux editors show syntax high-lighting:
High-lightening added for programmer's en-lightening.


BTW, 'man' requires an argument (the title of the issue/program you like to get help with). To get help with 'man':
man man


Most distros maintain some sort of database for the man pages, so you can search for a keyword (-k), e.g.
man -k pipe
