Public bug reported:
Hello,
On Ubuntu 12.04.3LTS (Precise Pangolin), using the stock "/bin/ls" (list
directory) command, the location of the "-1" (a hyphen followed by the digit
"one") parameter is apparently position dependent.
For example, this command generates unexpectedly incorrect output (leading
periods used only for indentation purposes):
.. testuser@testhost:~/.unison$ ls -1 -x
.. Audiobooks.prf Configuration.prf default.prf Documents.prf Downloads.prf
.. Ebooks.prf Emulation.prf Music.prf Pictures.prf Podcasts.prf
.. Projects.prf Templates.prf Videos.prf
.. testuser@testhost:~/.unison$
(Spacing may not be accurately represented in a web browser; open attached text
file in a text editor with a fixed-width font for an accurate example.)
While this command produces the correct output (leading periods used only for
indentation purposes):
.. testuser@testhost:~/.unison$ ls -x -1
.. Audiobooks.prf
.. Configuration.prf
.. default.prf
.. Documents.prf
.. Downloads.prf
.. Ebooks.prf
.. Emulation.prf
.. Music.prf
.. Pictures.prf
.. Podcasts.prf
.. Projects.prf
.. Templates.prf
.. Videos.prf
.. testuser@testhost:~/.unison$
(Spacing may not be accurately represented in a web browser; open attached text
file in a text editor with a fixed-width font for an accurate example.)
This behaviour is unexpected and violates non-positional parameter guidelines.
