/bin/ls -t and nanoseconds

[Scott Mitchell]

Hello standards gurus,

With regard to this thread on -hackers:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2004-June/007278.html

Does POSIX have anything to say about whether or not '/bin/ls -t' should
pay attention to the nanoseconds part of the file timestamps?  It doesn't
right now, and my feeling is that if it did, we'd want some option to
display the nanos, so you could see how a particular sort order was arrived
at.

The free online version of IEEE Std 1003.1 is silent on this matter (it
also doesn't mention our -T option), but I guess you guys have access to
more documentation than I do?

Cheers,

	Scott
