Package: busybox
Version: 0.47pre
Severity: wishlist
ls -b or ls -q would be nice; probably ls -b. Both print odd
characters in names out so they can be seen; -b uses octal, -q uses
"?" . One or both would be nice for rescue disks.
Perhaps an easy change (?) would be adding ll, lsf, lsx, and lsr to
the "list" of recognized link names, and would work this way:
ll = ls -l
lsf = ls -F
lsr = ls -R
lsx = ls -x
I understand some (many) recognize l as a replacement for ls -m, but
busybox doesn't support -m (list files separated by commas with
appropriate spaces) and probably doesn't need to.
