- JonathonW 6y agoSomeone years ago wanted a shortcut for `ls -lb`, didn't want to change aliases on every machine they use, and had access to the coreutils source? In GNU coreutils, it's not really "another" ls; it's the same source code with a preprocessor macro set differently (ls, dir, and vdir all share the same source).
