872d416547 Having three options (-a, -A, -I) controlling the output of dotted
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().
(The ls.c diff is better viewed relative to rev. 1.80.)

fd7de7f99a Remove the EXAMPLES section that describes how to sort by size using
sort(1). This functionality is provided by the -S option now, and it
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.

99a2093aa5 Add the -S option to sort files by size. NetBSD and OpenBSD already
have this option with identical semantics (sorting large files first).
-r can be used to reverse the sort if that is desired.

c27dcfcc17 The total sum of blocks for the -l and -s option is printed always,
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.

de72f8ed41 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.

0117af9cbb Print a `+' character after the standard UNIX permission fields in long
listings if the file has an extended ACL (more than the required 3 entries).
This is what Solaris and IRIX do, and what the withdrawn POSIX.2c standard
required.

a20ce31a58 Teach "ls -Z" to use the policy-agnostic MAC label interfaces rather
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).
