For example, would you have something like: 'ls > -l --format=octal', or something more like 'ls -l --format=o"?
No, more like the following: (warning, these are `made-up' format directives; it'd take some careful thought to come up with proper choices): ls --format="%M %I %U %G %B %D %f\n" Implementing something like that properly would involve a significant amount of work. If you're interested, look at how GNU find's -printf works. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
