Da die Antworten von @ slm auf die Ursprünge und möglichen Gründe eingehen, werde ich dies hier nicht wiederholen. Eine solche Option ist nicht in der Liste der abgelehnten Coreutils enthalten , aber der unten stehende Patch wird jetzt von Pádraig Brady abgelehnt, nachdem er an die Mailing-Liste von Coreutils gesendet wurde. Aus der Antwort geht hervor, dass dies ein philosophischer Grund ist (die lsAusgabe ist für den menschlichen Verzehr bestimmt).
Wenn Sie ausprobieren möchten, ob eine solche Option für Sie zumutbar ist, tun Sie Folgendes:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils
cd coreutils
./bootstrap
./configure
make
Wenden Sie dann den folgenden Patch gegen commit an: b938b6e289ef78815935ffa705673a6a8b2ee98e dd 29.01.2014:

Subject: [PATCH] ls: adding --zero/-z option, including tests
* src/ls.c has the necessary changes to allow -z/--zero option to be
specified, resulting in a NUL seperated list of files. This
allows the output of e.g. "ls -rtz" to be piped into other programs
* tests/ls/no-args.sh was extended to test the -z option
* test/ls/rt-zero.sh was added to test both the long and short option
together with "-t"
This patch was inspired by numerous questions on unix.stackexchange.com
where the output of ls was piped into some other program, invariably
resulting in someone pointing out that is an unsafe practise because of
possible newlines and other characters in the filenames.

Nach einem anderen make kannst du es testen mit:
src/ls -rtz | xargs -0 -n1 src/ls -ld
Der Patch funktioniert also und ich kann keinen Grund dafür erkennen, aber das ist kein Beweis, dass es keinen technischen Grund gibt, die Option auszulassen. ls -R0macht vielleicht nicht viel Sinn, macht aber auch nicht ls -Rmdas , was man sofort machen lskann.
