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