[PATCH] doc: improve the --help description of ls -N


From: Pádraig Brady
Subject: [PATCH] doc: improve the --help description of ls -N
Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 19:28:30 +0000

* src/ls.c (usage): The existing description was inaccurate
as -N does not directly impact whether control characters
are displayed or not.
