An idea i had for a name was entr(1) (entries) but that’s quite long for a command being run all the time. Another possibility is le(1) (list entries).

The output of the command should use ASV to separate fields.

What if we did this:

lf(1) ("list files") is a shell script that streams given files to readdir(1) and then a sorting program.
readdir(1) is a program that reads the file content of a directory from standard input and prints the names of the files within to standard output, unsorted. If the file isn't a directory, it prints the name of the file itself.

So ls /bin becomes mm -i /bin | readdir | sort or lf /bin.

I like this idea.
