# While GNU coreutil's ls is generally more featureful (including colorization
# based on file extensions, SI size formats, ISO date and time formats,
# semantic version sort, etc.), OS X's fork of FreeBSD ls allows viewing HFS+
# extended attributes and access control lists through the -@ and -e flags,
# respectively.
#
# This script provides a shim to allow BSD ls to be invoked with GNU-style
# flags and .dircolor files, and a function that shadows ls, invoking coreutils
# ls by default but automatically switching to the shim when the -@ and/or -e
# flags are detected.
#
# Paste into your .bashrc after `eval $(dircolors ~/.dircolors)` and before
# any ls aliases.
