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
