Re: tramp and adb, strange escape codes in dired

Hi Michael,

thank you for your help.

Ha ha: now I'm staring to understand, thanks!

Is it more appropriate if I file a bug report? I can copy all the
relevant information from this thread to a proper bug report if this
helps.

Android 10 via LineageOS 17 on a Samsung Galaxy S4

Toybox, more info below, included tramp debug infos.

I'd be *very* happy to help testing, just tell me what I have to do.

With my Android version tramp uses "ls --color=never" and unfortunately
toybox output is coloured when the option "--color=never" is passed :-S

In my adb shell, "ls -1" give me no colours.

This is the ls command help in my toybox (in Emacs shell):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

jflte:/ # ls --help
ls --help
usage: ls [-ACFHLRSZacdfhiklmnpqrstux1] [--color[=auto]] [directory...]

List files.

what to show:
-a  all files including .hidden    -b  escape nongraphic chars
-c  use ctime for timestamps       -d  directory, not contents
-i  inode number                   -p  put a '/' after dir names
-q  unprintable chars as '?'       -s  storage used (1024 byte units)
-u  use access time for timestamps -A  list all files but . and ..
-H  follow command line symlinks   -L  follow symlinks
-R  recursively list in subdirs    -F  append /dir *exe @sym |FIFO
-Z  security context

output formats:
-1  list one file per line         -C  columns (sorted vertically)
-g  like -l but no owner           -h  human readable sizes
-l  long (show full details)       -m  comma separated
-n  like -l but numeric uid/gid    -o  like -l but no group
-x  columns (horizontal sort)      -ll long with nanoseconds (--full-time)
--color  device=yellow  symlink=turquoise/red  dir=blue  socket=purple
         files: exe=green  suid=red  suidfile=redback  stickydir=greenback
         =auto means detect if output is a tty.

sorting (default is alphabetical):
-f  unsorted    -r  reverse    -t  timestamp    -S  size
