Following a (two-year old) suggestion from Zahemszky Gabor, I have added a '-b' option to ls(1). When this option is used, ls will display unprintable characters in octal (in the form "\xxx"). Note that unlike e.g. Solaris, it will not use C escapes (e.g. \n for newline), just plain octal. So far, I've only committed this to current. Before I commit to stable, does anybody have any comments on this change, or requests for further changes? Should I make the -b option behave exactly as in AT&T Unices, or is it OK with just octal? -- Noone else has a .sig like this one.
