The GNU coreutils documentation [1] suggests that "-1" and "--format=single-column" are equivalent, yet the following two commands produce different results: ls -l -1 ls -l --format=single-column According to POSIX [2] both behaviors are correct (for "ls -l -1"), so I guess you need to pick one or update the docs.
