Sun 26 May 2024 11:22:48 AM UTC, original submission:  

find -ls should match the output of ls -dils.   However there are some circumstances where it doesn't:


I think differences of amount of horizontal white space are probably not significant here (unless one of ls and find uses none).  But other differences are probably things we should eliminate.

There are some issues with the -ls feature which will need care in testing:

  • dealing with unimportant whitespace differences
  • cases where "ls -dils" differs between the platform's ls implementation and the implementation in coreutils (presumably we should match coreutils, but the issue is in testing).
