 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	jschauma

 Modified Files:
 	src/bin/ls: ls.1 util.c
 
 Log Message:
 Address PR 30374 as suggested in there:
 
 "Modify the man page to match the behaviour of "ls -q",
 
 (done by yamt@ previously)
 
 ...
 modify both the behaviour and documentation for "ls -b" and "ls -B" to
 make spaces readily apparent.  This could be done by adding VIS_WHITE
 to the flags passed to strvis(3) in the safe_print() function in
 src/bin/ls/util.c."
 
 'ls -b' now yields foo\sbar (whitespace) foo\tbar (tab) foo\rbar (CR).
 'ls -B' now yields foo\040bar foo\011bar foo\015bar.
