File types

[edit]
Velle, I have replied to your questions on the Talk:ls page, and copied the relevant text to your talk page here.

I know that you are able to get the type of a file by typing "file pic.jpg" for example. Is it possible to get this information for each file or subdirectory in a directory using ls with some argument?

This is a task that is precisely intended for shell scripts to perform, not core userland utilities. Dysprosia 13:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Here is a one-liner to answer your question. Use the find command with the -exec option.
find . -exec file {} \;

Color conventions

[edit]

What are the color conventions when using color? Is it different from shell to shell?

--Velle 13:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See the example in the article I added using color conventions for Suse Linux. It can be different, depending on your preferences. Use the dircolors -p command to see how they are set for your shell.
There is a good explanation on setting your colors here. In short:
Create the file with: 
dircolors -p > $HOME/.dircolors 
Edit the file to taste. 
In your .bashrc (and/or .bash_profile or .profile) put: 
eval $(dircolors ~/.dircolors)

Meanings of Velle

[edit]

Hi Velle. What does Velle mean? Currently Velle redirects to Derrick, but I suspect "Velle" has more meanings than that. Do you know what other meanings? Thanks — Donama 00:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
