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.
[ a gui emulator typically will honor the 'back_tab' ]
[ terminfo string, whereas a linux console does not. ]

After satisfying increased buffer size in the previous

In that commit shown below, the concept of a corrupted

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.

I'm not sure why you would roll your own macros for major and minor
while the standard includes have these defined. Using our versions
causes two problems:
- Some systems don't use this format for their minor/major
- If the kernel proc interface becomes a 64-bit number, like
dev_t is in the library, then our macro will need to be changed.
autoconf already had the check and as a bonus for anyone that
puts these definitions in sys/mkdev.h it handles that too.
So this is now the standard way of getting a minor/major number out of a
device id. Examining bits/sysmacros.h showed that their defines are
close to what devname.c had, except it can handle 64-bit numbers.

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.

I grew tired of inadvertently causing a premature exit
from top when all I wanted was to review some process'
environment variables. That 'V' key was just too close

Well, not any more. Should a user wish to see a task's
environment, it will now require the '^N' combination.

After using this new feature for awhile, I encountered
numerous times when that 'Ctrl' window would disappear
as I was studying the contents. This was caused by the
death of the target task but it made me think that the
window could/should persist until dismissed by a user.
Well, now it will persist until that same Ctrl key has
been struck a 2nd time or a different Ctrl key used to
target another process after positioning it on row #1.
So now, instead of that former 'moving target' type of
approach, this window is more of a 'snapshot' in time.
[ even more significant, perhaps, is the fact that a ]
[ Ctrl window will now be drawn exactly 1 time only, ]
[ instead of being repainted after each delay cycle. ]

When support for the 'LIBPROC_HIDE_KERNEL' environment
variable was introduced, a deficiency was present that
allowed any rejected proc_t (i.e. a kworker thread) to
preserve the strdup'd 'cmd' value. That residual value

cmd field with the proper program name for some tasks.
This patch just ensures a proc_t is freshened whenever

There are times when one might want to see some task's
particular variable width data. However, prior to this
commit, the only way was to first turn on a field then
scroll through it via repeated right arrow keystrokes.
[ this also required that field to be displayed last ]
Needless to say, given the potential length of some of
that variable data this could be extremely cumbersome.
Now with this patch, a Ctrl keystroke combination will
create a separate window at the bottom of the terminal
screen where such variable width data is seen in full.

When autogroups are active programs such as renice and
nice are basically useless because the nice value will
only affect the target task priority relative to other
processes in the same autogroup. So to accomplish what
we thought of as renice, /proc/<pid>/autogroup must be
changed. Altering a single member in an autogroup will
also affect every other member of that same autogroup.
Since top's renice provision ('r') suffers constraints
like those of the stand alone nice/renice programs, we
will now provide a means to manipulate that nice value
found within some process' /proc/<pid>/autogroup file.
[ to alter this file for other user's tasks requires ]

With openSUSE's tumbleweed release of procps-ng-4.0.0,
their source rpm contained a questionable patch. It is
ostensibly devoted to increasing the accuracy for %cpu
calculations in the ps program. However, in my opinion
it goes too far and is quite flawed for these reasons:
1. Six separate files were impacted instead of just 1.
2. While ps was the object, libproc-2 was changed too.
3. A header file's alphabetic item order was violated.
4. The library API and ABI were altered unnecessarily.
It should be noted that all the <pids> TIME items were
made 'real' when representing seconds so that they can
be converted into jiffies/tics if multiplied by hertz.
Thus, there was absolutely no justification for adding
a new PIDS_TICS_ELAPSED ull_int item to the interface.
As an example, assuming a hertz value of 100, there is
enough capacity in all of those 'TIME' seconds to hold
nearly 3 million years worth of tics without a loss of
precision whenever they are changed back into jiffies.
[ that's nine quadrillion seven trillion one hundred ]
[ ninety-nine billion two hundred fifty-four million ]
[ seven hundred forty thousand nine hundred ninety + ]
[ one! or more concisely, as: 9,007,199,254,740,991. ]
So, any need for increased accuracy in that ps program
can be realized within the single output.c file alone.
That's what will be accomplished with this new commit.
And for any doubters here's a 'double' capacity proof:
