Colored Filenames?

[chashutch]

When I am in the shell, I notice that many filenames are different color. Where can I go to determine what the colors mean?

Thoughts?

Hmmm, quite a good question. I usually just take the colours for granted, but this is a good link for you.

You can decide for yourself which colours to use. I don't think there's a set standard.

If you want to know what a file or directory really is, take this eg. You see a file called foobar.xyz Type file foobar.xyz and Bash will tell you what you have.
