Support options with embedded whitespace in 'dired-listing-switches'
* lisp/dired.el (dired-listing-switches): Document how to quote
options with embedded whitespace.
* lisp/files.el (insert-directory): Use split-string-and-unquote
to support dired-listing-switches that specify command-line
options with embedded spaces. (Bug#25485)

See also the variable `dired-ls-F-marks-symlinks' concerning the `F' switch. +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." |
