>From Linux man page for ls
NAME
ls - list directory contents
SYNOPSIS
ls [OPTION]... [FILE]...
pay special attention to synopsis section. I can't see here that your
format of scripts is allowed.
so use what's standard and expected behaviour. It doesn't mean that if
some system is not able to have it's resources in order and allows its
bugs to be a feature for users that every other system on the planet
must follow that idiotic behaviour as well ;-)
