Here are the diffs for an improved ls. This one prints multiple columns
sorted DOWN rather than across.
I think it reasonably reliable detects
whether the output is going to the tty or not, in spite of the fact
that isatty(stdout) doesn't seem to work. What I did here is real
hoaky, but until fstat can get fixed or someone finds a better way,
it is what I came up with. When it detects that stdout is not the tty,
it defaults to a single column.
By default it also appends a "*" to the
executables and a "/" to the directories.
I have added to options to disable the above features. "-1" causes single
column output, and "-m" cause multiple column output when stdout is not
to the tty.
"-n" will turn off the addition of "*" and "/".
I make no claims as to the suitability of these changes for anything.
I extend my appreciation to Ed Nather, whose "ls" for MS-DOS gave me
the ideas and some of the code for this. I believe he doesn't mind
redistribution of it, as long as he gets credit.
Hope you find this useful.
To install it, move your ORIGINAL ls source to some system with the
latest version of "patch". Cut the diffs below out into a file
called "ls.pat". Then type "patch -l ls.c <ls.pat" to get your
new ls.c.
