NORMAL 00 # global default, although everything should be something.
FILE 00 # normal file
DIR 01;36 # directory
LINK 01;37 # symbolic link. (If you set this to 'target' instead of a
# numerical value, the color is as for the file pointed to.)
FIFO 40;33 # pipe
SOCK 01;35 # socket
DOOR 01;35 # door
BLK 40;33;01 # block device driver
CHR 40;33;01 # character device driver
