Disable CLICOLOR in terminal

[amnixed]

I use lxterminal(1) on FreeBSD with a dark blue background which makes reading the output of ls(1) difficult to read with the coloring scheme in .tcshrc.

After some stumbling and bumbling I found this post which advises to comment out the line:

setenv CLICOLOR "true"

and doing so indeed disables colors.

I was surprised to find though the changing the above to:

setenv CLICOLOR "false"

did not disable colors.

It probably tests for presence, not value. What you want is:

unsetenv CLICOLOR

[amnixed]

@jimp said in Disable CLICOLOR in terminal:

unsetenv CLICOLOR

Thank you for clarifying!
