Dear Gnu,
I am a (mostly) happy user of a Gnu/Linux System (SuSe) still I got the
abovementioned problem. When ls {(GNU fileutils) 4.0} is used from a
terminal that cannot tell the colorization escape codes, the ls output is
padded with disturbing caracters: like [0m[01;34mBibliografie[0m for a
directory.
The --help tells, that --color=auto sends color codes if stdout is linked to
a terminal. In my opinion it should be checked (via the $TERM variable and
termcap) whether the terminal has color capacities. (Especially if
TERM=unknown no color codes should be sent.)
Of course I can use --color=none, yet I'd prefer one general setting for
both color and non-color terminals. I wonder whether a colorc capable check
could be implemented in the next version of ls.
Sincerely
Guenter
