setcolors - Updates the linux VT101 console default color palette

SYNOPSIS
setcolors [-c device] [config-file]

DESCRIPTION
The setcolors command is used to change the color palette of the linux VT101 console. When run the colors will be applied to the terminal device and the screen will be cleared. If no configuration file is given then the color palette will be reset to the default colors used in the linux VT.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command-line options then exit.

-c, --console device path
    Specify the console device to make the ioctl call to. This should be a VT101 linux terminal device file. Usually /dev/tty. Without specifying this option various device files will be tried.

COLOR CONFIGURATION FILE
setcolors accepts a file containing a list of hexadecimal color values separated by new lines. There should be no more than 16 colors listed in the configuration file. You can specify the color ID by prepending the color with the color ID and the octothorp (#). Color ID's 0 through 15 are available. If no ID is specified the colors will be set in the order they are in the configuration file.
