97c31821eb ls(1): Allow LSCOLORS to specify an underline
Allows capitalizing the background color character to enable an
underline instead of bold, capitalizing the foreground color char will
still do bold.

a408dc2018 ls(1): actually restore proper behavior
Highlights:
- CLICOLOR in the environment should imply --color=auto to maintain
  compatibility with historical behavior
- -G should set CLICOLOR and imply --color=auto

The manpage has been updated to draw the connection between -G and --color;
the former is in-fact a sort of compromise between --color=always and
--color=auto, where we'll output color regardless of the environment lacking
CLICOLOR/COLORTERM assuming stdout is a tty.

c0f34ded0b ls: fix a --color regression from r337956
The regression is in-fact that I flipped the default from never to auto. The
incorrect impression was based on an alias that I failed to notice,
installed by the Linux distribution that I used for testing compatibility
here. Users that want the old default should be doing so with a shell alias
as is done elsewhere, rather than making this decision in ls(1).

Many thanks to rgrimes for pointing out the alias that I clearly overlooked
that resulted in this; if you despised colors in your terminal from this,
consider buying him a beer at the next venue that you see him at.

e10ba80063 ls(1): Add --color=when
--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.

0fdf7fa846 Convert ls(1) to not use libxo(3)
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).

3651faa511 Make -f set -a, as required by the standard.
From the original OpenBSD commit message:

  restore the traditional behavior of -f implying -a; apparently Keith
  Bostic forgot to restore it when the -f flag was put back on 2nd of
  September 1989, after being removed on 16th of August as a
  consequence of issues getting it working over NFS, so deviation from
  traditional UNIX behavior in all BSDs looks like an historical
  accident; as a side effect, this change accommodates behavior of
  this option to IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX.1'').

  joint work with jmc@ (who found the inaccuracy in our
  implementation), schwarze@ (who provided a detailed tracking of
  historical facts) and millert@

7da1a731c6 Expand the use of stat(2) flags to allow storing some Windows/DOS
and CIFS file attributes as BSD stat(2) flags.

This work is intended to be compatible with ZFS, the Solaris CIFS
server's interaction with ZFS, somewhat compatible with MacOS X,
and of course compatible with Windows.

The Windows attributes that are implemented were chosen based on
the attributes that ZFS already supports.

The summary of the flags is as follows:

UF_SYSTEM:	Command line name: "system" or "usystem"
		ZFS name: XAT_SYSTEM, ZFS_SYSTEM
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SYSTEM

		This flag means that the file is used by the
		operating system.  FreeBSD does not enforce any
		special handling when this flag is set.

UF_SPARSE:	Command line name: "sparse" or "usparse"
		ZFS name: XAT_SPARSE, ZFS_SPARSE
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_SPARSE_FILE

		This flag means that the file is sparse.  Although
		ZFS may modify this in some situations, there is
		not generally any special handling for this flag.

UF_OFFLINE:	Command line name: "offline" or "uoffline"
		ZFS name: XAT_OFFLINE, ZFS_OFFLINE
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE

		This flag means that the file has been moved to
		offline storage.  FreeBSD does not have any special
		handling for this flag.

UF_REPARSE:	Command line name: "reparse" or "ureparse"
		ZFS name: XAT_REPARSE, ZFS_REPARSE
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT

		This flag means that the file is a Windows reparse
		point.  ZFS has special handling code for reparse
		points, but we don't currently have the other
		supporting infrastructure for them.

UF_HIDDEN:	Command line name: "hidden" or "uhidden"
		ZFS name: XAT_HIDDEN, ZFS_HIDDEN
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN

		This flag means that the file may be excluded from
		a directory listing if the application honors it.
		FreeBSD has no special handling for this flag.

		The name and bit definition for UF_HIDDEN are
		identical to the definition in MacOS X.

UF_READONLY:	Command line name: "urdonly", "rdonly", "readonly"
		ZFS name: XAT_READONLY, ZFS_READONLY
		Windows: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY

		This flag means that the file may not written or
		appended, but its attributes may be changed.

		ZFS currently enforces this flag, but Illumos
		developers have discussed disabling enforcement.

		The behavior of this flag is different than MacOS X.
		MacOS X uses UF_IMMUTABLE to represent the DOS
		readonly permission, but that flag has a stronger
		meaning than the semantics of DOS readonly permissions.

UF_ARCHIVE:	Command line name: "uarch", "uarchive"
		ZFS_NAME: XAT_ARCHIVE, ZFS_ARCHIVE
		Windows name: FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE

		The UF_ARCHIVED flag means that the file has changed and
		needs to be archived.  The meaning is same as
		the Windows FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE attribute, and
		the ZFS XAT_ARCHIVE and ZFS_ARCHIVE attribute.

		msdosfs and ZFS have special handling for this flag.
		i.e. they will set it when the file changes.

sys/param.h:		Bump __FreeBSD_version to 1000047 for the
			addition of new stat(2) flags.

chflags.1:		Document the new command line flag names
			(e.g. "system", "hidden") available to the
			user.

ls.1:			Reference chflags(1) for a list of file flags
			and their meanings.

strtofflags.c:		Implement the mapping between the new
			command line flag names and new stat(2)
			flags.

chflags.2:		Document all of the new stat(2) flags, and
			explain the intended behavior in a little
			more detail.  Explain how they map to
			Windows file attributes.

			Different filesystems behave differently
			with respect to flags, so warn the
			application developer to take care when
			using them.

zfs_vnops.c:		Add support for getting and setting the
			UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY, UF_SYSTEM, UF_HIDDEN,
			UF_REPARSE, UF_OFFLINE, and UF_SPARSE flags.

			All of these flags are implemented using
			attributes that ZFS already supports, so
			the on-disk format has not changed.

			ZFS currently doesn't allow setting the
			UF_REPARSE flag, and we don't really have
			the other infrastructure to support reparse
			points.

msdosfs_denode.c,
msdosfs_vnops.c:	Add support for getting and setting
			UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM and UF_READONLY
			in MSDOSFS.

			It supported SF_ARCHIVED, but this has been
			changed to be UF_ARCHIVE, which has the same
			semantics as the DOS archive attribute instead
			of inverse semantics like SF_ARCHIVED.

			After discussion with Bruce Evans, change
			several things in the msdosfs behavior:

			Use UF_READONLY to indicate whether a file
			is writeable instead of file permissions, but
			don't actually enforce it.

			Refuse to change attributes on the root
			directory, because it is special in FAT
			filesystems, but allow most other attribute
			changes on directories.

			Don't set the archive attribute on a directory
			when its modification time is updated.
			Windows and DOS don't set the archive attribute
			in that scenario, so we are now bug-for-bug
			compatible.

smbfs_node.c,
smbfs_vnops.c:		Add support for UF_HIDDEN, UF_SYSTEM,
			UF_READONLY and UF_ARCHIVE in SMBFS.

			This is similar to changes that Apple has
			made in their version of SMBFS (as of
			smb-583.8, posted on opensource.apple.com),
			but not quite the same.

			We map SMB_FA_READONLY to UF_READONLY,
			because UF_READONLY is intended to match
			the semantics of the DOS readonly flag.
			The MacOS X code maps both UF_IMMUTABLE
			and SF_IMMUTABLE to SMB_FA_READONLY, but
			the immutable flags have stronger meaning
			than the DOS readonly bit.

stat.h:			Add definitions for UF_SYSTEM, UF_SPARSE,
			UF_OFFLINE, UF_REPARSE, UF_ARCHIVE, UF_READONLY
			and UF_HIDDEN.

			The definition of UF_HIDDEN is the same as
			the MacOS X definition.

			Add commented-out definitions of
			UF_COMPRESSED and UF_TRACKED.  They are
			defined in MacOS X (as of 10.8.2), but we
			do not implement them (yet).

ufs_vnops.c:		Add support for getting and setting
			UF_ARCHIVE, UF_HIDDEN, UF_OFFLINE, UF_READONLY,
			UF_REPARSE, UF_SPARSE, and UF_SYSTEM in UFS.
			Alphabetize the flags that are supported.

			These new flags are only stored, UFS does
			not take any action if the flag is set.

9aa68a3ffa Add y flag and environment variable LS_SAMESORT to specify the same
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.

9f365aa1d6 Get rid of major/minor number distinction.
As of FreeBSD 6, devices can only be opened through devfs. These device
nodes don't have major and minor numbers anymore. The st_rdev field in
struct stat is simply based a copy of st_ino.

Simply display device numbers as hexadecimal, using "%#jx". This is
allowed by POSIX, since it explicitly states things like the following
(example taken from ls(1)):

	"If the file is a character special or block special file, the
	size of the file may be replaced with implementation-defined
	information associated with the device in question."

This makes the output of these commands more compact. For example, ls(1)
now uses approximately four columns less. While there, simplify the
column length calculation from ls(1) by calling snprintf() with a NULL
buffer.

Don't be afraid; if needed one can still obtain individual major/minor
numbers using stat(1).

107409f46e Treat filenames as multibyte character strings (according to the current
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.
