What were you trying to do?
Pipe the output of lsdel through another command.
What's wrong:
Lsdel's output is in columns, even when its stdout is not a
tty.
What should have happened:
Lsdel should check if stdout is a tty and output in a single
column if it isn't, just like ls. Also, a -C option should
be added (like with ls) to force multi-column output even when
stdout isn't a tty.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
None.
