>Description:
The ls(1) man page describes the -B option:
-B Force printing of non-printable characters (as defined by
ctype(3) and current locale settings) in file names as \xxx,
where xxx is the numeric value of the character in octal.
When you do a recursive listing (ls -R) ls will print out the
directory name followed by a colon. Eg:
/usr/bin:
total 28322
etc.
If there are non-printable characters in the directory name,
they are printed rather than escaped.
>How-To-Repeat:
% mkdir /tmp/foo
% cd /tmp/foo
% mkdir ' ibebad:\
ha ha'
% ls -BoTnilR
