[cs631apue] Midterm Question

[tparisi]

Hi,
I was wondering why the -d and -R flags aren't listed as conflicting.  
The -d flag says that Directories are listed as plain files and not 
recursively searched.  The -R flag is for recursively searching the 
subdirectories.  The real "ls" command has -d on by default.  Should we 
follow the real "ls" or is there another guideline to follow?  
Basically, I am asking whether the -d flag is on by default or if the -R 
flag is on by default.
Thanks,
Tom
