Someone asked on the FreeBSD Forums whether it was possible to let "ls -l"
display file permissions in octal, e.g.

  % ls -lO
  -0644  1 root  wheel  -  855B Mar  4 16:30 some_file

instead of

  % ls -l
  -rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  -  855B Mar  4 16:30 some_file

Since ls itself appears not to have an option for that and I quite liked
the idea, I decided to hack the source of ls to do just that.

If you folks think this is a good idea, then by all means feel free to
discuss my patch and possibly incorporate it into the FreeBSD source tree.
And if you think it's not a good idea, no harm done. It's just a pet
project (and a simply one at that) so my feelings won't be hurt if it's
not accepted.

The patch can be found here: http://www.skysmurf.nl/attic/ls.patch

And the discussion thread in question on the FreeBSD Forums can be found

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.
