Add Some Color to Man Pages

I was looking through my .bashrc and came across this. I've been using it so long that I had forgotten that colorized Man pages aren't usually the default. I can't remember where I found it.

Add some color to your man pages.

man() {
    LESS_TERMCAP_md=


\e[01;31m' \
    LESS_TERMCAP_me=


\e[0m' \
    LESS_TERMCAP_us=


\e[01;32m' \
    LESS_TERMCAP_ue=


\e[0m' \
    LESS_TERMCAP_so=


\e[45;93m' \
    LESS_TERMCAP_se=


\e[0m' \
    command man "$@"
}
