I just got fileutils-3.3 installed (on SunOS 4.1.2, using gcc 2.2.2).

Old copies had this:

anyway:

/usr/gnu is an automount


Sun's ls and Gnu's ls have a difference doing
ls /usr/gnu

Basically, gnu ls look wrong...

Also, ls should have some type of version option.

There is a way to determine the version of the
GNU shell/file/text-utils, but it's not through an option.

If you have the `strings' command, this may work for you:

  strings - `which ls' |grep -iw version

The following shell function works for me using Bash.
    ver () { strings - "$@" | grep -iw version }
