This is very good. It works for all shells probably. Since it works even
with busybox (ash shell).
~/tmp> cat test
#!/bin/sh
echo "this is for ash: $(/bin/busybox sh -i -c 'echo $PS1')"
echo "this is for bash: $(bash -i -c 'echo $PS1')"
echo "this is for zsh: $(zsh -i -c 'echo $PS1')"
~/tmp> ./test
this is for ash: \w \$
this is for bash: \[\033[01;34m\] \w $\[\033[00m\]
this is for zsh: %{%}%30<...<%~%(?.. %{%}[%?]%{%} )%{%}>%{%}
