[hacknews] bls

henry@utzoo.UUCP (Henry Spencer) (10/15/83)

Minor new utility:  bls(1).  Like ls(1) with -a option, except that
it works on even enormous directories.  (Ls runs out of memory when
things get really huge.)  Rather specialized.

Uucall(1) now uses bls to avoid croaking when the outgoing-traffic
directory gets huge.

Bls(1) (a variant of ls(1)) now has a -i option for listing inode-numbers
along with the filenames.
