The inputs were taken from: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/1921 These inputs are supposed to cover: - "spaces": spaces in dir/file names. - "iso": ISO date. The ticket claims this is enabled in en_US.UTF-8 locale, but that's untrue. Nevertheless, it's a useful format (the default 'ls' dates are relative and therefore somewhat useless in lslR files) so we don't mind covering it here. - "noshalsh": directories not starting with "./". Argument files: The output produced must be constant anytime. Therefore: - For the one input using non-ISO date we must use --drop-mtime. Otherwise, because these are relative dates, next year the output will show a different year. - For all inputs we use --drop-ids for the case we have user "serhiy" on our system (and we aren't running as that user).
