    Test Suite VSC version 5.3.16NW
    Test Identification POSIX.cmd/ls/ls.ex 804,805,806,807
    Specification Commands and Utilities Issue 4 Version 2
    Location in Spec The specification of the ls utility in Open Group Base Specification Issue 6.
    Problem Summary The ls utility may fail to properly collate or classify files whose names contain characters from
    the non-portable character set.
    Problem Text These tests work by creating files with single-character filenames from the test locale's character
    set and verifying that the file names collate properly, or are in the proper character class, or
    otherwise obey the localization rules associated with the test locale. The file system with which we
    are testing does not encode Latin-1 characters from the non-portable character set in the
    way that the ls command expects.

    Note that the assertions being tested are:
    # When the environment variables LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LC_COLLATE, LC_MESSAGES,
    # and LC_TIME are unset or null and LANG is set to a valid locale, then ls
    # uses the value of LANG to determine default values for each of the locale
    # categories.

    # When the environment variable LC_ALL is set to a non-empty string
    # value, then this value shall override the values of all the other
    # internationalization variables.

    # When the environment variable LC_CTYPE is set to a non-empty string
    # value, then it shall be used to determine the locale for the interpretation
    # of sequences of bytes of text data as characters and which characters are
    # defined as printable.

    # When the environment variable LC_COLLATE is set to a non-empty string
    # value, then it shall be used to determine the locale for ordering rules.

    and our Implementation of ls does satisfy these requirements. But the combination of the test
    method used and the peculiarity of the file system encoding obscures this.
