69 FIND-OPTION is the option (or options) passed to `find' to produce
70 a file listing in the desired format. LS-SWITCHES is a set of
71 `ls' switches that tell dired how to parse the output of `find'.
73 The two options must be set to compatible values.
74 For example, to use human-readable file sizes with GNU ls:
75 \(\"-exec ls -ldh {} +\" . \"-ldh\")
77 To use GNU find's inbuilt \"-ls\" option to list files:
78 \(\"-ls\" . \"-dilsb\")
