+FIND-OPTION is the option (or options) passed to `find' to produce
+a file listing in the desired format. LS-SWITCHES is a set of
+`ls' switches that tell dired how to parse the output of `find'.
+
+The two options must be set to compatible values.
+For example, to use human-readable file sizes with GNU ls:
+ (\"-exec ls -ldh {} +\" . \"-ldh\")
+
+To use GNU find's inbuilt \"-ls\" option to list files:
+ (\"-ls\" . \"-dilsb\")
+since GNU find's output has the same format as using GNU ls with
+the options \"-dilsb\"."
