Hi,
a few weeks ago, I had a coworker which wanted to ls and have the
directories listed first...
He ended up with a bash function :
lx() {
\ls -FGhl "$@" | grep ^d | cat;
\ls -FGhl "$@" | grep -v '^d\|^t' | cat;
}
I though better of it and cooked up a patch for ls :
<http://people.freebsd.org/~mat/current-ls-D.diff>;
<http://people.freebsd.org/~mat/stable-ls-D.diff>;
Both do work well, I don't know if it could be included or not, because I
don't really know what's in POSIX.1 and if we're permitted extensions...
For those who will wonder why I used the FTSENT struct and not the stat
struct within it, it's because the stat struct did not seem to be filled
(and I just could not get it to be filled).
Suggestions mostly welcomed :)
