(http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/ls.html) In the FreeBSD implementation, however, -1 and -l override one another. I can't see how this could be POSIX compliant. I'm on Mac OS X which I believe is using FreeBSD port and the man page claims POSIX compliance. Where can I find more information about this? --=20 Mikol=C3=A1=C5=A1 Janota M. Sc.
