is useful even though a similar effect is achievable with sort(1),
since the latter doesn't work in combination with -h. This option is
also present in NetBSD, OpenBSD, and GNU fileutils, so there's clearly
a demand for it.

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

regardless whether the output is to a terminal or not. As this is
consistent with the SUSPv2 specification (even though we do not
otherwise fully implement SUSPv2's ls(1) options), document this as it
is now, rather than trying to change the behaviour itself.

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.

This is what Solaris and IRIX do, and what the withdrawn POSIX.2c standard

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).

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 ;)
