Color Man Pages in Terminal
I found the following online somewhere while trying to get some color / better output when viewing man pages in the terminal.
export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[1;31m' # begin bold
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[1;36m' # begin blink
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' # reset bold/blink
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m' # begin reverse video
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' # reset reverse video
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[1;32m' # begin underline
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' # reset underline
export GROFF_NO_SGR=1 # for konsole and gnome-terminal
I’ve saved it to ~/.bash_termcap
and added the following to ~/.bashrc
:
if [ -f ~/.bash_termcap ]; then
source ~/.bash_termcap
