>Description:
tcsh supports an ls-F builtin that is purported to be faster than
the normal /bin/ls. ls-F also supports colorized ls listings and all the
normal ls options. When invoked with no arguments, ls-F produces a normal
listing like that of /bin/ls. When invoked with arguments, it executes
"/bin/ls <args>" where <args> are the arguments passed to ls-F. Colorized
output may be enabled by using the command "set color" on tcsh. In this
case ls-F <args> translates to "/bin/ls --color <args>". Due to a getopt
oddity reported in pr 23148, /bin/ls ignores the --color option and treats
the remaining arguments as filenames even if they were options to ls. This
causes weird behavior as shown below.
>How-To-Repeat:
In an xterm execute the following:
112 wooster:tmp/foo> ls
bar baz
113 wooster:tmp/foo> tcsh -f
> ls
bar baz
> ls-F
bar baz
> ls-F -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 anand wheel 0 Nov 27 17:45 bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 anand wheel 0 Nov 27 17:45 baz
> set color
> ls-F
bar baz
> ls-F -l
ls: -l: No such file or directory
> ls-F -a
ls: -a: No such file or directory
>Fix:
This is a patch that I generated on 4.2 RELEASE. I have sent a
modified version of this patch to the tcsh developers. I hope they include
it in their next version. Until then, could we have this patch in 4.2-stable please?
