       objects (aso) class.  This is a superset of the file class symbols  added  to  filenames  by  the  ls  -F
       command.

       ^      Locked.

       Some  combinations  are possible. In espacially the circumflex (^) may be combined with any other symbol,
       resulting in a two letter string.

       (return value FALSE).
