"A pair of options to produce and parse an `ls -l'-type list from `find'.
This is a cons of two strings (FIND-OPTION . LS-SWITCHES).
FIND-OPTION is the option (or options) passed to `find' to produce
a file listing in the desired format. LS-SWITCHES is a set of
`ls' switches that tell Dired how to parse the output of `find'.
The two options must be set to compatible values.
For example, to use human-readable file sizes with GNU ls:
(\"-exec ls -ldh {} +\" . \"-ldh\")
To use GNU find's inbuilt \"-ls\" option to list files:
(\"-ls\" . \"-dilsb\")
since GNU find's output has the same format as using GNU ls with
the options \"-dilsb\".
While the option `find -ls' often produces unsorted output, the option
`find -exec ls -ld' maintains the sorting order only on short output,
whereas `find -print | sort | xargs' produces sorted output even
on a large number of files."
