Whatever happened to LS_OPTIONS?

But:

# ltrace -e getenv ls >/dev/null
ls->getenv("QUOTING_STYLE")  = nil
ls->getenv("COLUMNS")= nil
ls->getenv("TABSIZE")= nil
ls->getenv("LS_BLOCK_SIZE")  = nil
ls->getenv("BLOCK_SIZE") = nil
ls->getenv("BLOCKSIZE")  = nil
ls->getenv("POSIXLY_CORRECT")= nil
ls->getenv("BLOCK_SIZE") = nil

And there we go:

$ for f in *; do echo ">>$f<<"; done
>>foo *" '
 bar*<<
>>foo *" ' bar*<<
>>foo" ' bar<<
>>more<<
$ QUOTING_STYLE=literal ls -1
foo *" '? bar*
foo *" ' bar*
foo" ' bar
more
$ QUOTING_STYLE=shell ls -1
'foo *" '\''? bar*'
'foo *" '\'' bar*'
'foo" '\'' bar'
more
$ QUOTING_STYLE=c ls -1
"foo *\" '\n bar*"
"foo *\" ' bar*"
"foo\" ' bar"
"more"
$ QUOTING_STYLE=escape ls -1
foo\ *"\ '\n\ bar*
foo\ *"\ '\ bar*
foo"\ '\ bar
more

Where and how you set QUOTING_STYLE (/etc/*, ~/.*) is up to you. Or
use an alias.

HTH,
-dnh, who consideres strace and ltrace as _basic_ tools ;)

[gentoo-user] ls config file?

[Raffaele BELARDI]

After a recent update of coreutils to version 8.25, 'ls -l' started 
displaying names containing spaces enclosed in single quotes, e.g.:

drwxr-xr-x  6 belardi users 4096 May 21  2012 'Audio Libraries'
drwxr-xr-x  2 belardi users 4096 Jun 10  2014 Brochure

The option that controls this is --quoting-style, so 
--quoting-style=literal returns to the old behaviour (which I prefer). I 
can alias 'ls' to include this option but was wondering if there is a 
global configuration file controlling such behaviour.

thanks,

raffaele

There is no configuration file for ls(1), but we can still solve the
problem. It is free software, after all!

Put the file fix.patch in /etc/portage/patches/sys-apps/coreutils-8.25/
and apply the following changes to the ebuild (in the function src_prepare):


--- old/sys-apps/coreutils/coreutils-8.25.ebuild2016-01-30

Don't forget to regenerate the manifest

ebuild .../sys-apps/coreutils/coreutils-8.25.ebuild manifest

and recompile!

I forgot to mention, that if you seriously want to take that approach,
you'd need to mirror coreutils' ebuilds in your own portage overlay. The
changes to the ebuild (and Manifest) will get overwritten next time you
sync the tree.

Is it not /etc/portage/env instead?

There's no need for that. Just create /etc/env/portage/sys-apps/coreutils
containing

post_src_unpack() {
cd "${S}"
epatch_user
}

Of course it is. I was just checking if anyone was paying attention, as I
clearly was not.
