There were some gaps in the alternate navigation keys
top provided. Additionally, some inconsistencies
existed in the supporting key table.
This commit adds the following new key equivalents,
mirroring the standard vim navigation keys:
. ctrl+alt+ k = pgup, ctrl+alt+ j = pgdown
. ctrl+alt+ h = home, ctrl+alt+ l = end
Also, the supporting table entries now consistently
follow these "directions":
. up/pgup, down/pgdown, left/home, right/end

To support the cursor navigation keys, after saving
the termios structure top issues 'smkx/keypad_xmit'
during startup. However, some terminals appear to
treat that directive as persistent which leaves a
corrupted tty state after top exit.
This commit reverses the above terminal directive
via 'rmkx/keypad_local' just prior to restoring the
saved termios structure at program end.
For discovering this bug, and providing the 'rmkx'
clue to its solution, thanks to:

This 'Sleeping in function' field was made variable
width because the length of current kernel symbols
usually exceeded the former top's 9 character limit.
As a variable width field it would steal valuable
horizontal display positions from other, more likely,
displayed fields such as COMMAND or CGROUPS.
With the advent of the new 'X' toggle, no fixed-width
non-scalable field need suffer permanent truncation.
Thus, WCHAN is being made fixed width with a default
size of 10 characters.

I have no idea what the maximum length of a terminal

This commit accommodates those fields which may have
suffered truncation due to these default limits:
. 5 digits for uid/gid type fields
. 8 characters for user/group type fields
With a new interactive command, users can increase the
width of all such fields, or return to the defaults.
Note:
There are no restrictions on the amount added to
the defaults. The user is free to vastly exceed
screen limits which simply means such fields can
never be displayed.

The TREE_RESCANS #define (formerly TREE_ONEPASS) has
been eliminated and the approach to forest view mode
redesigned. The chance of dangling children has been
eliminated and overhead reduced.
We now order processes on start_time (non-display)
and are therefore immune to any pid, ppid or tgid
anomalies when pid values wrap.
The new algorithm also accommodates any distortions
caused by the 3.3 kernel 'hidepid' provisions --
something guaranteed to produce dangling children
under the former approach.

The recent introduction of scrollable variable width

In an effort to avoid dangling children when in forest
view mode, top defaulted to a complete rescan of every
proc_t for each child encountered.
That expense was never really cost justified and now
with the 3.3 kernel 'hidepid' provisions it no longer
can offer such protection.
With this commit, the TREE_ONEPASS define is changed
to TREE_RESCANS so as to reverse the default scan
behavior.

With the introduction of intra-column scrolling, the
scroll coordinates message was enhanced to give some
hint of positioning within a scrolled column.
Rather than rebuild this somewhat costly string from
scratch with each frame, we'll now do the bulk of the

The only remaining per frame costs will then be the
addition of a few terminfo escapes and the current
Frame_maxtask count.

This commit introduces horizontal scrolling within any
variable width column. Thus, an entire command line,
complete list of control groups, etc. can now be
viewed -- not just a screen width's portion.
It is activated when any variable width column:
. is (via field selection) or
. has become (via the right arrow key)
the only displayed field.
Then, the right and left arrow keys can be used in the
normal way to continue scrolling within that column.
The amount scrolled with each key press is currently
set as the normal tab stop increment of 8 characters.

The library does not weed out potential duplicate PID
values when sampling with the PROC_PID flag. This was
treated as merely an inefficiency by top and safely
ignored prior to the advent of forest view mode.
Now, however, if the -p switch duplicates certain PIDs,
*and* those processes have no PPID, *and* top's forest
view mode is active or activated, then a SEGV will be
generated (and caught).
This rather obscure buglet is thus limited to pid #1
(/sbin/init) and pid #2 (kthreadd). With any other
duplicate PIDs the worse case scenario was a '?' in
place of the usual forest view artwork.
This commit silently ignores any duplicate process ids
and thereby avoids the potential segmemtation fault.

Since its inception top has provided for monitoring
only specific process ids via the -p command line
switch. This provision has also embraced the top
process itself, even though its pid wasn't yet known.
This commit simply documents the special zero value,
which would otherwise be an invalid process id.

In attempting to keep at least one task visible when
scrolling vertically, a negative task index would be
produced when pid monitoring was in effect and no
matching pid was found.
Since there were already other conditions where no
task might displayed, the faulty source line has been
removed.

When top introduced true line input editing, the
ability to paste keystrokes was lost. This remains
a necessary evil so that top has an opportunity to
translate cursor motion keystrokes into terminfo
escapes during line input. Motion keys themselves,
of course, can never be pasted.
If pasting ever became more important than input
editing, then native termios support should have been
available via a define called TERMIOS_ONLY. But a
recent commit, eliminating what was thought to be
obsolete logic, rendered the alternate linein()
function virtually useless.
Similar to top-3.2.8, when native termios input is
functional, these abberations can be experienced:
. cursor motion keys will appear as escapes
. excessive input can cause line wraps
. ^Z during i/p is not be honored until <Enter>
. SIGWINCH during i/p corrupts screen temporarily
In hindsight, it now seems that the ability to paste
keystrokes may indeed outweigh any shortcomings of
native termios support. This is especially true if
one is preparing to search ('L') for some lengthy
process command line contined in the clipboard.
Thus, this patch fixes the alternate linein() function
and changes TERMIOS_ONLY to TERMIO_PROXY so that top
now defaults to using native termios input. In turn,
that will restore the paste keystrokes capability.

warning: padding struct to align 'winflags'
warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

warning: ISO C does not support the '%Lu' gnu_scanf format
To:

warning: ISO C90 does not support the 'll' gnu_scanf length modifier
Lastly, since all C compilers have supported use of

Under openSUSE, old top uses additional fields for
out-of-memory reporting. As a result, under the
original approach to rcfile conversion, new top would
issue a fatal corrupt window entry message asking that
the rcfile be deleted.
This patch extends the conversion range to include
the extra openSUSE field characters. It's effective
when ./configure specifies the --enable-oomem option
which in turn defines OOMEM_ENABLE.
This commit also makes the conversion logic slightly
more forgiving. While enforcing an upper limit on the
expected number of old style field characters, amounts
less than that will be handled seemlessly.

At one time, new top silently defaulted when an rcfile
was found to be incompatible. This is exactly what
the old top did. However, after some discussion it
was decided top should alert the user and thereby
save the system administrator some headaches.
Now, some are upset over the fatal error, proving you
can't please everybody. But in all fairness, given
the difficulty of customizing old top, any reluctance
to delete an old saved rcfile is understandable.
To ease transition to this new top, old style rcfiles
will now be honored and converted to the new format.
And if not disabled at ./configure time via CFLAGS,
a user will be warned when an old style rcfile is
about to be overwritten using the 'W' command.
Lastly, the config validation logic was enhanced to
help ensure both types of rcfile haven't been edited
manually and possibly made unuseable.

At one time the 'open_psdb_message' library call was

which would display after top startup completed.
In turn, that required logic to strip the '\n' which
