If the special bottom 'window' routines remain unaware
of potential multi-byte characters, that heading could
be truncated prematurely and unnecessary blank line(s)
added to the reserved rows at the bottom of a display.
So, in both cases, this patch will now account for any

This patch attempts to reduce the proliferation of the

Since top now uses string vectors for two items in the
new focus window (cmdline & environ), there is no real
use for that 'separator' specified at toggle time. So,
this commit will find a new use for what is the space.
Henceforth, when a user is navigating using the tab or
backtab keys, should a strv element with focus contain
embedded space(s), it will be emphasized & highlighted
using the current window's message color (capclr_msg).

Some of those bottom windows grow quite large, as with
the firefox environment. If one is navigating the data
using the tab key, it can be very inconvenient when an
element should be reexamined but that focus has moved.
Therefore, this commit will support the 'back_tab' key
which is a standard combination of the shift+tab keys.
Now a user can easily backup up to any missed element,
assuming a terminal emulator honors that terminfo key.

In the patch referenced below the bottom 'Ctrl' window
was made to remain until it was dismissed by the user.
As such, it required abandoning a 'Cap_nl_clreos' used
when all the terminal rows had not been drawn. Instead
each line had to be cleared individually until the row
reserved for that 'Ctrl' window area had been reached.
Unfortunately, while a 'Cap_nl_clreos' didn't create a
problem for 'batch' mode, a 'Cap_clr_eol' used instead
yielded an unending loop if those rows were limitless.
So, now we will only clear that area when top isn't in
'batch' mode (which should have always been the case).

Well darn it, whoever wrote that new library caught me
with my pants down (again?). Shoot, they were not just
down but somehow missing altogether. Here's the story.
Any item from that library supported by dynamic memory
can only be represented in user's stacks exactly once.
Should any string based enumerator be duplicated among
the items array, for any instance beyond the first the
library will return '[ duplicate ENUM ]' for a result.
That's where I lost my pants. While command lines were
given special handling (and never duplicated) I failed
to turn on CGROUPS, SUPGRPS & ENVIRON when testing the
Ctrl-G, Ctrl-U & Ctrl-N keys. If any of those 3 are on
that's when a Ctrl window sees a 'duplicate' notation.
[ and who runs top with such fields displayed anyway ]
In responding to this oops, the internals were changed
quite dramatically & vastly simplified in the process.
More importantly, the 'duplicate' results are no more.

To complete the implementation of this new feature, we
must address the problem created by any commands which
offer their own full replacement displays. Should that
'Ctrl' bottom window be active, a return from any such
command leaves that lower portion of a terminal blank.
While we could issue a 'TAGGED_TOSS' macro right after
invoking any of those 4 (currently) affected commands,
it is wrong to make them aware of this 'tagged' stuff.
So, I'll opt for a more generalized solution whereby a
notice regarding a corrupted screen is broadcast. Then
the logic already aware of 'tagging' can deal with it.

Well, now it will persist until that same Ctrl key has

[ any library modifications and thus version impact! ]
--------------------------------- newlib patch #1 ---
top: added fields for 'start time' & 'cpu utilization'
This patch will exploit some new library capabilities.
[ one will raise eyebrows, the other likely will not ]
A new 'STARTED' field was added which shows the time a
process started after system boot. As such the largest
interval represents the most recently started process.
This is the field that will likely be questioned since
it's somewhat counterintuitive. But were we to instead
use TIME_ELAPSED, the value will change with every top
refresh. This will defeat any PUFF macro optimization.
The new '%CUU' field will probably be better received.
It represents the cpu usage over the life of the task.
When a process was showing high %CPU usage, this field
can be used to determine if it's an anomaly or normal.
[ and as with %CPU, %CUU shows a '?' when running in ]
[ a namespace when /proc was mounted with subset=pid ]
---------------------------------- newlib patch #2 ---
top: tweaked the recently introduced 'STARTED' support
When the 'STARTED' field was added, the width was made
the same as the 'TIME+' field. Thus, a full time could
be shown (which then included hundredths of a second).
That kind of granularity is totally unnecessary. After
all, this column is potentially confusing enough since
it is so counterintuitive. So, this commit will reduce
the width of the field with some help from scale_tics.
Henceforth it will not include those ol' centiseconds.

[ the original newlib commit message(s) appear below ]
---------------------------------- newlib patch #1 ---
top: refactor 'scale_tics' function for better scaling
This patch refactors the 'scale_tics' function to more
closely parallel uptime shown on the first line of the
summary area. The old logic has been preserved through
the header file's new #define SCALE_FORMER provision.
However, the former logic was actually a big disaster.
These are some potential problems with that old logic:
1. With respect to our time fields top no longer deals
solely with cpu time. So, the old limits of '68 weeks'
could possibly be insufficient to reflect those times.
2. Given the widths of top's new time fields, the code
never got beyond scaling to hours. For example, with a
ridiculously large span of 19 years, the scaled result
would then be shown as '167832h'. We never reached the
days ('6993d') or even the weeks ('999w') equivalents.
3. Similarly, with that 'TIME+' field and a large tics
value, results would then appear as 'MMMMMM:SS' rather
than the more meaningful 'HH:MM:SS' or days and hours.
So henceforth we will adopt these scaling conventions:
MMM:SS.hh ... minutes:seconds.hundredths
MMM:SS ...... minutes:seconds
HH,MM ....... hours,minutes
D+H ......... days+hours (with 'd' & 'h' suffixes)
D ........... days (with 'd' suffix)
W+D ......... weeks+days (with 'w' & 'd' suffixes)
W ........... weeks (with 'w' suffix)
Note that, unlike our former scaling logic, that 'MMM'
portion won't be allowed to grow unconditionally. It's
limited (arbitrarily?) to 360 total minutes (6 hours).
Additionally, the 'HH' guy will be limited to 96 hours
(4 days) while that 'D' limit was set at 14 (2 weeks).
Whenever a limit is hit, scaling will advance a level.
---------------------------------- newlib patch #2 ---
top: extended 'scale_tics' function for Ctrl-E scaling
That normalization of the 'scale_tics' function in the
prior commit convinced me that I won't please everyone
with my arbitrary choices for the scaling transitions.
So, this patch will provide the users with a means for
setting their own scaling transition points with a new
toggle. Ctrl-E was chosen since the 'e/E' toggles were
already present as a means of scaling (albeit memory).
[ this toggle will also serve an educational purpose ]
[ by allowing one to see all the scaling conventions ]
The scaling a user establishes is saved in the rcfile.
---------------------------------- newlib patch #3 ---
top: enhanced 'scale_tics' function for Ctrl-E scaling
When scale_tics was refactored and then Ctrl-E support
added to top, the complete range of scaling values was
not visible. Namely, a single 'd' (days) & 'w' (weeks)
was never seen with ^E. With this commit they will be.

Over the years the summary_show function has increased

We'll take the cpu and memory duties and make separate

In the patch referenced below the focus task logic was

Well, with this commit a task ending 'above' a focused
task no longer distorts the focus. That's assuming the

focused tasks does not exceed the current screen rows.
Thus, the manual scrolling with up and down arrow keys
is allowed when the total focused exceeds screen rows.

When that 'F' focus command has been applied to a task
in forest view it should remain as the topmost process
in a particular window. But without this patch that is
not guaranteed. Newly forked/cloned tasks 'above' such
a process result in task(s) appearing which shouldn't.
The effect was as if that up arrow key scrolled beyond
the topmost parent task, which would never be allowed.

* whitespace is allowed before & after the equals sign
* optional arguments needn't abut their related option
