commands like "ls --color" does not use terminfo capabilities...


$ hexdump -c <(TERM=xterm ls -d / --color=always)
0000000 033   [   0   0   m 033   [   0   1   ;   3   4   m   / 033   [
0000010   0   0   m  \n 033   [   m
0000017

$ hexdump -c <(TERM=dumb ls -d / --color=always)
0000000 033   [   0   0   m 033   [   0   1   ;   3   4   m   / 033   [
0000010   0   0   m  \n 033   [   m
0000017



...use instead fixed strings (without regards about TERMinal)
is this a good (and safe) choice too?
