>Description:

	The ls(1) man page describes the -B option:

     -B      Force printing of non-printable characters (as defined by
	     ctype(3) and current locale settings) in file names as \xxx,
	     where xxx is the numeric value of the character in octal.

	When you do a recursive listing (ls -R) ls will print out the
	directory name followed by a colon.  Eg:

	/usr/bin:
	total 28322

	etc.

	If there are non-printable characters in the directory name,
	they are printed rather than escaped.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	

	% mkdir /tmp/foo
	% cd /tmp/foo
	% mkdir ' ibebad:\
	ha ha'
	% ls -BoTnilR
