15030a87a6 ps.1: fix --group description
The --group switch tells about parameter 'grplist' but detailed description
names it 'grouplist'.
This patch changes 'grouplist' to 'grplist'.

84c89e06af ps.1: format fix in notes
The “.I\-aux” syntax is broken (missing space): as a result, the hyphen
doesn't show up in the man page. Furthermore, according to man(1)
conventions, and in consistency with the rest of the manpage, it should
be bold instead of italic, the attached patch fixes this issue.

c1f10d11bc Allow core file generation by ps command (rhbz#871825, rhbz#512857)
Since the ps command handles signals with it's own handler, it doesn't create
core files when something wrong happens. The attached patch restores the ps
command ability to create core files by calling the default handler once we
print our custom message. The original RH's workaround masked SIGABRT and
SIGSEGV signals and that would conflict with the original intention of the
custom signal handler and also with the filtering patch I sent in my previous
email. Moreover, this solution generates core for all relevant signals (SIGFPE,
etc.).

a65de0fd73 ps: favor truncation of long names over POSIX/UNIX standard
The UNIX and POSIX standards require that user and
group names be printed as decimal integers when there
is insufficient room.  This has led to a constant
stream of bug reports.

With this commit, long names will be truncated and
displayed with a trailing visual clue.

To avoid truncation. the UNIX and POSIX way to change
column width is to rename the column:
   ps -o pid,user=CumbersomeUserNames -o comm

The easy way is to directly specify the desired width:
   ps -o pid,user:19,comm

f4b6de1136 ps: restore missing space when environment is displayed
This commit restores the missing space between command
lines and the environment when the later is being
displayed.  Below is a brief history of that elusive
character.

commit bb4f08ba29
Date:   Thu Aug 11 07:42:14 2011 +1000
   The ps program was altered for improved args/comm
   compliance.  At this time, the needed space was
   present due to a buglet in the new library
   read_unvectored function used by fill_cmdline_cvt.

commit a5881b5a4e
Date:   Thu Dec 8 10:19:38 2011 -0600
   The trailing space was eliminated so that the
   file2strvec and fill_cmdline_cvt returned
   command lines contained no trailing space.

   However, this created a buglet when control group
   hierarchies were displayed and the final cgroup
   was empty.

   This is also where the undetected ps buglet was
   created.

commit c3a1239efe
Date:   Sun Dec 11 12:00:50 2011 -0600
   The control group anomaly was fixed but the impact
   on ps args/environ was still not detected.

a15520db8c ps abort causes problems in testsuite
Under certain circumstances, using abort() when either make check

function catastrophic_failure() in ps and the C library raise
and abort functions.

Using exit removes this problem and does almost the same thing.

2bac5334b0 ps: display the nice value for processes with the SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy
Ps command does not display the nice value for processes with the SCHED_BATCH
scheduler policy, only for SCHED_OTHER.

Boinc (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) client runs project processing jobs on
Linux using SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy and nice value 19.  The nice value
is not displayable by ps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run process using SCHED_BATCH scheduler policy with nice value.
    ./test-schedbatch 18 &
2. Display process details:
    ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice

Results before:
[mike@rockover c]$ ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice
  PID  PPID USER     COMMAND         CLS  NI
18205  2540 mike     bash             TS   0
20552 18205 mike     test-schedbatch   B   -
20553 18205 mike     ps               TS   0
[mike@rockover c]$ awk '{printf "%5d %-17s %1d %2d\n", $1, $2, $41, $19}'
/proc/20552/stat
20552 (test-schedbatch) 3 18

Results after this patch:
[mike@rockover c]$ ps -o pid,ppid,user,comm,cls,nice
  PID  PPID USER     COMMAND         CLS  NI
18205  2540 mike     bash             TS   0
20552 18205 mike     test-schedbatch   B  18
20553 18205 mike     ps               TS   0

Additional info: Here is the fragment from the sched_setscheduler(2) manual
page on the subject:

   SCHED_BATCH: Scheduling batch processes
       (Since  Linux 2.6.16.)  SCHED_BATCH can only be used at static
       priority 0.  This policy is similar to SCHED_OTHER in that it
       schedules the process according to its dynamic priority (based on the
       nice value).  The difference is that this policy will cause the
       scheduler to always assume that the process is CPU-intensive.
       Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty with
       respect to wakeup behaviour, so that this process is mildly disfavored
       in scheduling decisions.

       This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do
       not want to lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a
       determin- istic scheduling policy without interactivity causing extra
       preemptions (between the workload's tasks).

4fb48c0bdb ps: generalize help text logic, add related translator hints
This commit represents an experiment in nls help text support.

The word --help itself been made translatable along with the
help section names and their abbreviations.  Thus, the work of
the translators will ultimately alter program run-time behavior.

Perhaps someday all "long" options can behave in a similar way
which could offer a considerable benefit to other languages.
Instead of translationg just option descriptions, the long
forms of those options could also be transalated.

This commit also:
 . includes the section abbreviations in --help output
 . isolates all --help support in the ps/help.c module
 . provides (hopefully) meaningful Translator guidance
 . removes --help support from the ps/common.h header
 . removes --help support from the ps/parser.c module
 . eliminates tabs in line with the style of other ps modules
 . eliminates the need for the include/c.h header file

wanted. After all having this sort of 'feature' does not cost much,
while lacking it might annoy someone.

A patch from Slackware.

38763ede40 Rename library and use proper versioning
Previously the version of libproc always tracked the version of procps.
This doesn't work when other non-procps programs link to the library as
they are always playing catch up.

This change makes the library version independent of the procps version.
It will only be incremented when needed.

229be7b160 ps: exploit enhanced library memory allocation provisions
There were numerous ps memory allocation inconsistencies.
Some were checked for failure and others were not.

The program was modified to utilize the library memory
rouines which are consistent in dealing with errors.

(a few changes simply removed trailing whitespace)

06d491f9e4 build-sys: take autotools in use again
This will revert change at Oct 2002 when autotools support was
removed.

Unlike before the package developers are expected to use
./autogen.sh to generate ./configure script, and run make after
that. The build system is also able to create, with make dist, a
tar ball release which compiles correctly, and has files which
seemed to be important to have.

The patch removes few unnecessary files, but no everything. Files
procps.lsm and procps.spec in git repository are useless as is,
but I left them lying around for someone who can make more
justified call about removal of them.

Last, but not least package version number is set 3.3.0 to
distinct this procps from the sourceforge's upstream procps.
Please notice that libproc relese is kept as 3.2.8.

7b0fc19e9d enhanced libproc cgroup/cmdline support, exploited by top
Library Changes
. added PROC_EDITCMDLCVT flag
. added an internal (static) fill_cmdline_cvt function:
  - reads and "escapes" /proc/#/cmdline
  - returns result as a single string in a single vector
  - callers are guaranteed a cmdline (no more NULL)
. added vectorize_this_str function, exploited by
  fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt
. generalized read_cmdline function as read_unvectored, now
  exploited by fill_cgroup_cvt, fill_cmdline_cvt, read_cmdline
  ( cgroup and cmdline no longer need be converted to string )
  ( vectors before being transformed to final representation )
. fixed bug regarding skipped group numbers (when enabled)
. escape_str made responsible for all single byte translation
  with distinction between control chars + other unprintable
. added escaped_copy function for already escaped strings
. reorganized parts of proc_t to restore formatting standards
  ( displacement changes shouldn't matter with new version # )
. former ZAP_SUSEONLY #define now OOMEM_ENABLE
. added to library.map: escaped_copy; read_cmdline

Top Program Changes
. exploited the new PROC_EDITCMDLCVT provision
. eliminated now obsolete #include "proc/escape.h"
. changed the P_WCH display format if no kernel symbol table
. fixed very old bug in lflgs for out-of-view sort fields
. former ZAP_SUSEONLY #define now OOMEM_ENABLE

Ps Program Changes
. exploited the new PROC_EDITCMDLCVT provision
. exploited the new escaped_copy function
. consolidated pr_args and pr_comm into pr_argcom

4d3c19af52 Read the system boot time from /proc instead of computing
Read the time of system boot from /proc/stat (entry: btime) instead
of computing it as the difference between the current time and the
uptime. This is the only way to get a consistent result which won't
possibly change from one run to the next.

The problems with the original code were:
* Both the current time and the uptime are rounded down to the second,
  but the system doesn't boot on an integer second value so they do not
  tick at the same moment. Thus, the rounding errors can cause a one
  second difference from one run to the next.
* We can't read the uptime and the current time at the exact same moment
  anyway, so the time difference we compute is bound to be inaccurate.
