https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D245270 Bug ID: 245270 Summary: ls(1) man page describes LSCOLORS wrong Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Manual Pages Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: deepbluemistake@gmail.com CC: doc@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 212969 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D212969&action= =3Dedit diff to ls.1 The ls man page https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=3Dls&apropos=3D0&sektion=3D0&manp= ath=3DFreeBSD+12.1-RELEASE+and+Ports&arch=3Ddefault&format=3Dhtml https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/bin/ls/ls.1 describes the colors wrong. I checked ls's code, and indeed it can and does use ANSI color, so the actual ANSI standard can be referenced for color nam= es and behavior: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/Ecma-048.pdf Especially since the man page also references ANSI in the LSCOLORS section. Discovered this on 12.1-RELEASE-p3 but wrote and attached a patch for the l= s.1 currently seen in the GitHub repository (presumably -current) Important to note is that some terminals do not have separate colors for bo= ld and non-bold text. Some terminals do have separate colors, of course, but = not all. Semi-relatedly, and not dealt with in this patch or bug report: LSCOLORS's format is deficient, anyway. Setting it to bC, Bc, or BC provid= es the same output. The colors struct in ls's print.c has bold-status, foregr= ound color, and background color as three different items. The LSCOLORS string should have them as three different characters too, rather than conflating boldness with one of the colors. Hence I think bc should be 0bc and Bc, bC, and BC should be 1bc --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
