I just starting using a Mac and have been frustrated that command line options are required immediately following the command so that this works:
ls -la /usr
but this doesn't:
ls /usr -la
ls: -la: No such file or directory
Is there any way to change this? Or can someone tell me why the placement of options is agnostic on most Linux platforms, but not on Mac?
