The build system tested for the presence of po4a binary at the
install step. procps ships with translated man pages so doesn't
need po4a for install/uninstallation.
Works already in psmisc!

Some of the translation files did not escape the < properly leading
to po4a aborting. Also some translators are using old templates
and this merges them to the new ones.

Sometimes the testing sequence would leave a source tree
under procps-ng-(version) which, if update-potfiles was
run, would include these temporary files in the list, causing issues
later.
The script now explicitly ignores those temporary files.
Since this master library isn't quite as sophisticated
as the newlib version, this patch will protect against
the possibility of multibyte characters in a program's
name combined with some locale without UTF-8 encoding.

This patch is intended to bring the master branch into
closer alignment with the newlib branch functionality.
The commit shown below replaced that 'escape_str' with
'escaped_copy' so that the ps program wouldn't execute
some code twice. However, it created a problem for the
top program when the UTF-8 encoding was not available.
Unlike ps who calls the escape functions directly, top
outputs those library provided strings unaltered. That
means there is no workaround (like LANG=) when such an
encoding was unavailable. This, in turn, can lead to a
corrupted display (especially with the linux console).
Now, when a UTF-8 encoding is not available, multibyte
chars are converted to '?', reducing display problems.

[ should program names contain multibyte characters. ]
[ unlike that newlib branch, this string is not ever ]
[ altered with the '?' char under the master branch. ]

Now that the ps program is using 'escape_str' for most
of the library's returned strings, this patch tries to
lessen the prospects of executing that function twice.
Our newlib branch has achieved such a goal through the
elimination of nearly all escape.c code. However, here
we avoid API change by trading some 'escape_str' calls
(with wide character overhead) for a slightly extended
'escaped_copy' call (which incurs no multibyte costs).
Note: until we migrate to the newlib version, there is
a remaining call to 'escape_str' which we can't avoid.
Such code involves the 'escape_command' function call.
[ As we prepare for this new (final?) release, there ]
[ were already internal library changes that require ]
[ a new 'revision'. This patch won't impact the API! ]

When any process' command line contains multibyte utf8
characters, two separate display problems could arise.
1. If that COMMAND column is not displayed as the very
last field, then field(s) to the right are misaligned.
2. Even when last, should utf8 string length (not that
display length) exceed allowable screen width, it will
nonetheless suffer from improper premature truncation.
Number 1 is less of a concern since the cmdline column
is likely to always be the last field to be displayed,
if only to enable right and left scrolling provisions.
Number 2 is much more likely to occur, especially with
additional fields which might be shown before COMMAND.
Or, forest view child tasks can yield the same effect.
So, this commit will permit the correct utf8 multibyte
display regardless of field position or string length.
And, we'll bring top into line with the ps program for
additional fields potentially subject to utf8 display.

Form its inception (back in May of 2011), escaped_copy
has always been a flawed function. It does not operate
on 'escaped' strings but instead treats all input as a
regular string incapable of containing utf8 sequences.
As such, it should only be used for strings guaranteed
to NOT contain multibyte characters (like supgid). For
all other strings, which could contain utf8 stuff, the
correct function should have been that escape_str guy.
So this commit changes nearly every escaped_copy call.
[ note: unlike the newlib guy, the master ps program ]
[ cannot properly handle utf8 multibyte sequences in ]

Use NULL in format_array to indicate that the print function shall be
used also for sorting. Change sr_nop() to NULL for all fields which
don't use pr_nop() for printing.
Before the commit (note that '--sort label' has no effect: the rows
are not sorted according to label field):
$ ps -A -o command,label --sort label | grep /lib/systemd
/lib/systemd/systemd-journa system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0
/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

After the commit, '--sort label' works and the output is sorted:
$ ps -A -o command,label --sort label | grep /lib/systemd

<utmp.h> has been deprecated since 2001 in favour of <utmpx.h>.
On glibc systems, utmp is just an alias to utmpx, so there is no
functional change using one over the other.
However, on the musl libc, a library (utmps) can be used to provide
utmpx functionality - but not utmp. This means that procps either
doesn't work properly (`w` shows nothing under musl with default no-op
implementation), or fails to build (utmps provides utmpx.h but no
utmp.h).
This commit will use utmpx.h where available, which allows `w` to work
correctly with utmps and has no change on glibc systems.
Often pidof is used in shell scripts in this form:
if pidof daemon >/dev/null; then
...
fi
The redirection to /dev/null is needed because otherwise the script
would output the found PIDs.
Let's add a -q option which, similary to grep, just sets the exit code.
Also exit on first match, as there is no reason to proceed further when
at least a process is matched.
Tested with:
$ ./pidof bash

$ ./pidof bashx
$ echo $?

$ ./pidof -q bash

We read /proc/stat using a statically sized buffer. This was increased
to 64kB in 2005 via commit 777fcd3cf1 "/proc/stat for 1024 CPUs".
Unfortunately in 2020, 1024 CPUs is not enough for anyone. I have a
large machine where /proc/stat is 74kB, and vmstat gives incorrect
output.
Double the buffer to 128kB in the confidence that 2048 CPUs is actually
enough for anyone.
