Note that -f doesn't work as documented on Suns anymore.  You can no longer
force something to be treated as a directory; getdents(2) cannot be coerced
into treating a file as a directory.

The -f option is still useful for listing files in directory order (unsorted)
and since it only works on true directories there is no longer any reason to
turn off the -l, -s or -r flags (or any of the others that -f needed to turn
off before that didn't make it into the man page).
