Is there a simpler way to remove special characters (color codes) from each lines in a log file?

Maybe to convert the file somehow?

PMKPC(1) BSD General Commands Manual PMKPC(1)
NAME
pmkpc -- Packages metainformation management tool.
SYNOPSIS
pmkpc [options] [modules]
DESCRIPTION
pmkpc is a tool that gathers metainformation about installed libraries that provide pkg-config data files. It aims to be an alternative to
the pkg-config tool.
OPTIONS
The options are as follows:
--version
Display compatibility version relative to pkgconfig.
--atleast-pkgconfig-version
Check if compatibility version is at least equal or greater than the version provided as an argument.
--modversion
Display the version of the given library modules using one line for each version.
--atleast-version
Check if each module version is at least equal or greater than the version provided as an argument.
--exact-version
Check if each module version is equal to the version provided as an argument.
--max-version
Check if each module version is at least equal or smaller than the version provided as an argument.
--exists
Check if given library modules exists.
--cflags
Display pre-processor and compiler flags for given library modules. Duplicates values are automatically removed.
--cflags-only-I
Enable output filtering of compiler flags and keep include path. See output filtering section.
--cflags-only-other
Enable output filtering of compiler flags and keep other flags than include path. See output filtering section.
--libs Display linker flags for given library modules. Duplicate values are automatically removed.
--libs_only_l
Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep library linking flags. See output filtering section.
--libs_only_L
Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep library path flags. See output filtering section.
--libs_only_other
Enable output filtering of linker flags and keep other flags than library linking and path flags. See output filtering section.
--help Only for compatibility with pkg-config. Refers to this man page.
--usage
Display usage.
--list-all
Display all module names and descriptions.
The following options have not been implemented yet:
--uninstalled
--debug
--variable
--define-variable
--print-errors
--silence-errors
--errors-to-stdout
OUTPUT FILTERING
As pkg-config has no standard specifications we determinated its behavior from pkg-config man page. The result is that filtering options can
be accumulated. The default behavior is like if all filtering options were enabled.
FILES
pmkcfgtool.dat config tool specific data.
SEE ALSO
pkg-config(1)
HISTORY
Initialy pmk was using pkg-config in a sub shell. Further, internal support was developed to improve the speed of data gathering. While
studying the code of pkg-config we discovered some chunks of code that were unsafe (malloc return unchecked, use of strcpy without any check,
...). Knowing that, we decided to try to do a safer implementation and pmkpc was born.
