Investigate ls -Q option to quote file names

Open csams opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

Some really rare file names include control characters and even newlines. So far we've only seen one instance of names with newlines embedded at the end, which we've accounted for, but weird characters elsewhere could still pose a problem.

@PaulWay suggested ls -Q to quote the names, and I think this is worth investigating if we notice further issues.
