This patch was prompted by the merge request for pgrep
referenced below. In top's case, any performance gains
will be minimal since the now defunct strncpy was only
employed for termcap rebuilds after interacting with a
user (+ 1 other non-termcap related user interaction).
[ golly, strncpy always calls at least two functions ]
[ but usually calls a total of 3. on the other hand, ]
[ memccpy will only call a maximum of two functions. ]
And thanks to Baruch Siach for these strncpy insights.

The 'iokey' function's parameter 'action' was utilized
with literal numbers in the calling functions. So this
change will replace those literal numbers with #define
constants which, one hopes, will clarify their impact.

This patch began as just an attempt to make any option
which also included an argument a little more readable
by adding one space before the '=ARGUMENT' convention.
[ by the way, i don't agree with most of those other ]
[ procps-ng programs that use an '<arg>' convention. ]
[ it's too easily misread as an 'optional' argument. ]
[ top uses a convention like that found in coreutils ]
[ albeit now with one extra space before the equals. ]
In adjusting those arguments it was apparent that many
explanations already lined up nicely at the right hand
margin. So, this commit will force right-justification
with all explanations (as we do with commit messages).
[ and as a final challenge, for those options taking ]
[ an argument, that argument was repeated within the ]
[ explanation and made the rightmost item on a line. ]

When in forest view mode, that focus toggle ('F') is a
useful tool occasionally. But, if a focused parent has
enough cloned siblings to exceed screen rows, it could
be hard to remember that such a toggle remains active.
So, this patch will provide a subtle visual clue added
to the leftmost position in the COMMAND column. Now if
the focus toggle was active, regardless of total tasks
affected, the users will always know when it's active.

Over the years the summary_show function has increased
from around 77 lines of code & comments to its current
size of 195 lines. This is well beyond an ideal length
of available screen rows. So this patch will split it.
We'll take the cpu and memory duties and make separate
functions out of them. Of course, this will incur some
additional call overhead but, given current cpu/memory
logic, any such increase really becomes insignificant.
Now summary_show's a svelte 31 lines of code/comments.
[ this is like what was done to that do_key function ]
[ a decade ago except overhead of new function calls ]
[ plus table lookup was even less of a concern since ]
[ a human was involved, not normal iterative output. ]

In the patch referenced below the focus task logic was
improved to ensure that newly cloned tasks 'above' the
focused task did not force an effect like the up arrow
key. That commit also acknowledged that when some task
'above' ended, it *would* act like the down arrow key.
Well, with this commit a task ending 'above' a focused
task no longer distorts the focus. That's assuming the
new '#define FOCUS_HARD_Y' is specified plus the total
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.
[ but keep in mind that when a focused task has been ]
[ hardened some otherwise useful toggles will not be ]
[ available. keystrokes like 'v' and even 'F' itself ]
[ can not be applied to another task with no scroll. ]

When a visual separator was added to 2 abreast summary
items in a recent commit, this bug was introduced. So,
from that earlier patch we'll revert one line of code.
The bug surfaced under an 80/even column terminal only
when that '4' toggle was off. With an an 81/odd column
screen, it existed in both single and 2 abreast modes.
[ this commit also goes the extra distance to ensure ]
[ two abreast mode maximizes available screen width. ]

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.
[ since scrolling is permitted within a focus range, ]
[ when any task 'above' our focus/topmost task ends, ]
[ we respond as if scrolled with the down arrow key. ]
[ that result is completely appropriate. if the user ]
[ wishes to return to a focused parent, the up arrow ]
[ or home key can be used to accomplish such a goal. ]

This darn patch began as 1 correction to an extraneous
comma in the man document. Then, it grew to include an
adjustment for a couple of additional man page things.
After that, I figured I might as well tighten up logic

For quite some time now, top has stood out like a sore
thumb regarding the approach to cmdline options & help
text. Only short options were used and that same help
text was displayed for '-h' (help) plus 'v' (version).
[ also, top 'rolled his own' when it came to parsing ]
[ options while avoiding that getopt implementation. ]
Well, with this commit all of that has changed and top
now has added a long form of his options. Additionally
he employs getopt_long() for the bulk of that parsing.
[ however, top will still avoid separate fputs calls ]
[ characteristic of other procps-ng programs when it ]
[ comes to help. rather all such text is one string. ]
Along the way, the following major getopt deficiencies
were addressed, assuming the absence of a new #define:
* an equals sign ('=') is allowed on both option forms
* whitespace is allowed before & after the equals sign
* optional arguments needn't abut their related option
for short form nor is an '=' required with either form

When the '4' toggle is on, and Summary Area %Cpu lines
are shown two abreast, it's not always clear where the
separation is between the two processors. So with this
patch we'll now print a vertical bar separator between
them (looking similar to the existing field headings).
We will also reduce that 'GRAPH_suffix' constant to 1,
reflecting the the trailing ']' bracket only, so as to
maximize top's exploitation of available screen width.

Just to see if I could, the new #define will force the

Sometimes, it might be useful to isolate a parent task
and its forked children from other system activity. As
an example, a user might want to examine workload in a
specific lxc container. Or maybe there is some need to
question what's happening under the same tmux session.
Since forest view mode tends to be a relatively stable
display, it will sometimes satisfy the above need. But
that mode can't currently guarantee the target process
always remains as the topmost task or even is visible.
So, this patch will enable focusing on any parent task
and keeping it as the topmost process while displaying
it and its forked children only. It then appears as if
there is no other activity in that system by virtue of
the blank lines which follow that final child process.
To implement this new feature, top's redundant 'F' key
has been repurposed. It made little sense devoting two
keys to the Fields Management screen (especially since
the key we've taken required two separate keystrokes).

In the patch referenced below, 2 potential abends were
fixed both of which involved 'alternate display mode'.
The root cause of those abends was a negative value in
the 'begnext' field for other than the current window.
And while that potential is fixed for now the existing
code almost invites such problems again in the future.
So, this patch will remove any temptation to name some
other window in the 'mkVIZrow1' macro. And, since that
macro is not the only source of 'begnext' changes, the
'mkVizrowX' is being added to identify such occasions.
[ and for symmetry i've added a 'mkVIZyes' macro and ]
[ ameliorated an otherwise surreptitious assignment! ]

- Simplify control flow a bit. We don't need two loop variables, either.
- Consistently use %lld for bytes.
- Fix the base handling for human-readable output. The code used to
calculate *mebibytes* first, then scale that to the required exponent
with the selected base, which is patently wrong.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/issues/133
This commit will address potential abends upon leaving
the windows help or color mapping screens and invoking
alternate display mode ('A'). It only happens if that
current window was changed with multiple 'a'/'w' keys.
So now, rather than leaving a trail of negative values
in the 'begtask' field, compliments of that win_select
function, we'll remove the mkVIZrow1 macro. Henceforth
it will be issued just once per user interaction. Thus
a promise of 'Curwin' only being impacted is restored.
