Hi there,

I recently found myself wanting ls to show file permissions in octal format, so I decided to implement the feature. Being somewhat unfamiliar with C coding and C coding standards in particular, I've hunched my way through the implementation method, but seeing that it's only a few lines of code, it shouldn't break anything as far as I can see.

Anywho, I've attached a diff to this mail, which may or may not be applicable to the most recent version (I just did an apt-get source in Trisquel 6.0 to get the source for coreutils).

Cheers, Sakse Dalum
