$ pkg_info -q colorls
ls(1) that can use color to display file attributes
This is a simple hack, taken from FreeBSD, to OpenBSD's ls(1) to
use ANSI sequences to display file attributes in color. There is
a -G flag (somewhat similar to the -F flag). Take a look at the
man page for details. The program is called "colorls", so you may
want to use an alias such as ls=/usr/local/bin/colorls.
Note that you need a color-capable terminal to enable colorls. This
means you should set your TERM to "wsvt25" on the wscons(4) console
and to "sun-color" when using the Sun console, not "vt220" and
"sun", respectively, which are not color-capable in termcap(5).
