I do not believe it would be a significant amount of work: http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/snprintfv (whenever that goes back online again). Personally, I'd choose to avoid one letter cryptic entries and opt for: ls --format="%w.n{mod} $w{inode} ${userid} ${username} ..." There is this about it on my site: http://www.gnu.org/software/autogen/manual/html_node/autogen_313.html#SEC313 but it is very brief, to say the least. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
