This repo contains two different utilites, `opendircolors(1)` and `dirconvert(1)`. + +### `opendircolors(1) [-bch] file` +A near drop in replacement for GNU's `dircolors(1)`, lacking only built in defaults and `-p`. This will read from `file` and prints the commands needed to set both `LSCOLORS` and `LS_COLORS`. The typical usage is to add ``eval "`opendircolors ~/.dir_colors`"`` to your `.*shrc`. + +### `dirconvert(1) LSCOLORS | LS_COLORS` +Will read the inputed string and convert it to the other format, ignoring anything that can't be converted. |
