`gnuls' is a port of the GNU colorized `ls' program--the one most Linux
users are familiar with. The port was formerly called `linuxls', since it
had been adapted from the colorized Linux version of `ls' -- which, in
turn, was a patched version of GNU's stock `ls' program. The folks at GNU
have since rolled the colorization mods into their official version of
`ls'; this port's name now reflects that change.
The port installs five programs in `/usr/local/bin': `gnuls', `linuxls'
(for backward compatibility), `dir', `vdir' and `dircolors'. It also
installs man pages for `gnuls' (but *not* `linuxls') and `dircolors'.
NOTES:
1. This port modifies the GNU `fileutils' make procedure so that it
installs only programs and man pages listed above.
2. This port installs GNU's `ls' as `gnuls' and `linuxls' so it won't
conflict with the normal BSD `ls' program or the BSD `colorls' program
(the latter available from the ports collection).
3. This colorized `ls' program is not the same as the `colorls' program
available from the FreeBSD ports collection.
