Filename containing a newline is not listed in a way reusable by shell
regardless of the --quoting-style:
$ touch a$'\n'b
$ for s in literal shell shell-always c c-maybe escape locale clocale ; do
ls -Q a?b --quoting-style=$s
done
a?b
'a?b'
'a?b'
"a\nb"
"a\nb"
a\nb
‘a\nb’
‘a\nb’
I'd expect something like $'a\nb' (might be bash specific) or 'a
b' (i.e. containing the actual newline) or something.
Versions:
bash 4.2.53(1)-release

There were many cases where the output from ls was unusable.
This was fixed since coreutils-8.25 where the new 'shell-escape'
quoting style was introduced, and in fact is used by default.
$ ls a?b --quoting-style='shell-escape'
'a'$'\n''b'
thanks,
