See also the variable `dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks' concerning the `F' switch. + +If you have files with names with embedded newline characters, adding +`b' to the switches will allow Dired to handle those files better. + Options that include embedded whitespace must be quoted like this: \"--option=value with spaces\"; you can use `combine-and-quote-strings' to produce the correct quoting of each option. + On systems such as MS-DOS and MS-Windows, which use `ls' emulation in Lisp, some of the `ls' switches are not supported; see the doc string of `insert-directory' in `ls-lisp.el' for more details." |
