The escape sequences are a bit archaic, depend a bit on your terminal type
(though there is a standard set that works on nearly all terminals you'll
ever encounter), and is a throwback to the days when people had several
monitors and keyboards connected to a single big computer through serial
ports (and even further back than that actually!) All you need to know to
configure dircolors are the numbers for the m code:
30 black
31 red
32 green
33 brown
34 blue
35 magenta
36 cyan
37 lt grey
Add ;1 to that these to make the colour brighter:
30;1 dark grey
31;1 bright red
32;1 bright green
33;1 yellow
34;1 bright blue
35;1 bright magenta
36;1 bright cyan
37;1 white
This is not working for me. All I get is a box where I try to
print the escape char, followed by the other chars.
ESC=$(echo -ne "\033")
echo -e "${ESC}31;1foo"
should print a red "foo". Instead I get
[]31;1foo
where [] represents a single character.
