According to the man page, when neither -H/-L nor -F/-d/-l are given, -H is
implied. This agrees with POSIX, GNU ls and Solaris ls. This means that -p,
although it is very similar to -F, does not prevent the implicit following
of symlinks.

flag to use a time other than modtime (-c, -u, or -U), the output would
actually be sorted by the specified time rather than size. This does
alter the behavior in the case where both -S and -t are specified. Now,
-S is always preferred. Previously, -t was preferred if one of -c, -u, or
-U was specified, and -S was preferred otherwise. Perhaps -S and -t should
override each other (last one specified wins).
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().

have no entries to print (either due to an empty directory or an
error). This makes the -l and -s options more consistent, like
Solaris and (Debian) Linux. To make this happen, tweak two
optimizations on the second call to display():
- Don't skip display() altogether, even if list == NULL.
- Don't skip the call to the printfn in display() if we
need to print the total.

consuming the fts-provided paths (none of which are quite right).
This is based on the similar readlink() code, and may contain
the same bugs.

than the LOMAC-specific interfaces for listing MAC labels. This permits
ls to view MAC labels in a manner similar to getfmac, when ls is used
with the -l argument. Next generation LOMAC will use the MAC Framework
so should "just" work with this and other policies. Not the prettiest
code in the world, but then, neither is ls(1).

hack, thereby allowing future extensions to the structure (e.g., for extended
attributes) without rebreaking the ABI. FTSENT now contains a pointer to the
parent stream, which fts_compar() can then take advantage of, avoiding the
undefined behavior previously warned about. As a consequence of this change,
the prototype of the comparison function passed to fts_open() has changed
to reflect the required amount of constness for its use. All callers in the
tree are updated to use the correct prototype.
Comparison functions can now make use of the new parent pointer to access
the new stream-specific private data pointer, which is intended to assist
creation of reentrant library routines which use fts(3) internally.

flag has been depricated, although it still works with a warning
message, and replaced with an environment variable CLICOLOR (command
line interface colour). This could be used by other tools that
want to be able to control colour output.
In addition if the environment variable CLICOLOR_FORCE is defined
colour sequences are output irrespective of whether the output is
directed to a terminal (as long as TERM references a colour capable
terminal of course ;)
