--color may be set to one of: 'auto', 'always', and 'never'.
'auto' is the default behavior- output colors only if -G or COLORTERM are
set, and only if stdout is a tty.
'always' is a new behavior- output colors always. termcap(5) will be
consulted unless TERM is unset or not a recognized terminal, in which case
ls(1) will fall back to explicitly outputting ANSI escape sequences.
'never' to turn off any environment variable and -G usage.

libxo imposes a large burden on system utilities. In the case of ls, that
burden is difficult to justify -- any language that can interact with json
output can use readdir(3) and stat(2).
Logically, this reverts r291607, r285857, r285803, r285734, r285425,
r284494, r284489, r284252, and r284198.
Kyua tests continue to pass (libxo integration was entirely untested).

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

sorting order for time and name with the -t option. IEEE Std 1003.2
(POSIX.2) mandates that the -t option sort in descending order, and
that if two files have the same timestamp, they should be sorted in
ascending order of their names. The -r flag reverses both of these
sort orders, so they're never the same. This creates significant
problems for sequentially named files stored on FAT file systems,
where it can be impossible to list them in the order in which they
were created.
Add , (comma) option to print file sizes grouped and separated by
thousands using the non-monetary separator returned by localeconv(3),
typically a comma or period.

files is too much and hard to follow. Instead, make the -I option
just mean "do not automatically set -A for root". That is, if -A
is explicitly set, -I is ignored. Also, document -I in usage().

-r can be used to reverse the sort if that is desired.

LC_CTYPE setting) when determining which characters are printable.
This is an often-requested feature.
Use wcwidth() to determine the number of column positions a character
takes up, although there are still a few places left where we assume
1 byte = 1 column position, e.g. line-wrapping when handling the -m option.
The error handling here is somewhat more complicated than usual: we do
our best to show what we can of a filename in the presence of conversion
errors, instead of simply aborting.

o register has been removed

they already are.

o Added the -H and -P options for treatment of symbolic links.
o Removed the #ifdef BSD4_4_LITE, since it does not seem to do anything
useful
o Fixed up prn_octal() so its output looks more like that of AT&T Unices
when -b is given.
The next two lines apply only to the first two changes above:
PR: bin/6140
Submitted by: Max Euston
o Added a new '-b' which behaves as in AT&T Unices (show unprintables in
octal, using C escape codes when possible)
o Added '?' to the getopt() string, since the code in the switch considers
it as a valid option.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
