Both of the 'file' and 'pipe' Inspect read buffers are
always 2048 bytes bigger than is actually needed which
provided for some slightly simplified row paint logic.
However, with no real rcfile inspect entries, and thus
operating in 'demo' mode, the allocated buffer is only
2048 bytes total. This can produce a valgrind warning.
This commit simply puts the inspect 'demo' buffer on a
par with other allocated real buffers (an extra 2048).

In a effort to anticipate a potential future wishlist,
the recent '-o' sort override command line switch will
now support an override of the sort direction as well.
By prepending a '+' or '-' to any valid field name the
user will be able to guarantee a specific desired sort
direction. The '+' forces a high-to-low (normal) order
while a '-' reverses that to yield a low-to-high sort.
Without this addition users would be left to the mercy
of whatever was last specified for Curwin as reflected
in the rcfile or top's default of a high-to-low order.

The recent change to task area memory scaling was just
a little short of optimum in its consistency and upper
limits. In fact, top could only scale memory fields up
to a maximum of 99.9999 TiB (with VIRT a little more).
While that seems like more than enough it was actually
artificially low, due to an unnecessary decimal place.
So, this commit standardizes both precision and widths
to achieve a minimum amount of scaling beyond the user
requested target plus reclaim some horizontal spacing.
. VIRT & DATA are now 7 bytes wide (not eight and six)
. other memory fields are 6 wide (were formerly seven)
. as before, KiB shows whole numbers only (no decimal)
. MiB, for its precision, shows a single decimal place
. all other memory ranges display three decimal places
The net result is a more homogeneous display with less
forced scaling and the recovery of three lost columns.

This commit was adapted from the openSUSE patch, whose
original comments appear between the --- marker below.
It should be noted, however, that the original changes
were ineffective (wasted) because 'Batch' mode had not
yet been set when signals were being checked and their
handlers established. Thus, SIGHUP was never bypassed.
(of course, only our comments are perfectly justified)
------------------------------------------------------
Do not setup SIGHUP signal handler if we are in the batch mode
Top enables a signal handler for the SIGHUP signal (loss of terminal). While
this makes sense for top's default interactive mode, it doesn't make any sense
for batch mode. If you run top in nohup just to collect data over time and
disconnect top finishes which is not what one would expect.

This commit is an unrequested outgrowth of the earlier
change dealing with summary area memory field scaling.
That user selectable scaling provision is now extended
to include 6 (at present) task oriented memory fields.
The new companion 'e' (lower case) interactive command
has been added and, like the 'E' command, it can cycle
each of the currently displayed memory columns between
KiB through TiB. There are, however, some differences.
Where '+' indicates summary area truncation at a given
radix, task memory fields are automatically scaled for
their column. Thus, not all rows use the same scaling.
And, while summary area field widths were not changed,
the task memory columns were widened in order to offer
more meaningful data when the radix was increased. The
precision is automatically increased in step with each
radix: MiB displays 2 decimal places, GiB 3 and TiB 4.
To compliment that additional precision, both the %CPU
and %MEM fields were widened by 1 column and now offer
precision up to 3 decimal places. But, unique to %CPU,
widening could already have occurred due to the number
of processors in some massively parallel boxes. At any
rate, total extra width for both memory and percentage
fields could amount to twenty (precious) columns more.
So for both the memory and % fields the original width
(along with loss of precision) can be restored via new
compiler conditionals which this commit also provides.
p.s. and it will be rcfile preserved for any restarts!

With the recent inspect search highlight provisions in
place, the lack of highlighting in task based searches
has grown from being only irritating to a real defect.
Thus, this commit introduces parallel functionality to
those searches initiated within a visible task window.
And just as separate inspect searches are possible for
each selection, per window task searches are provided.
However, it should be noted that there are differences
between task based searches and inspect type searches:
* There is no concept of out-of-view data when dealing
. with task rows -- if the data can't bee seen, it has
. not, in fact, been constructed from a proc_t struct.
* While inspect data is output at the character level,
. up to now all task display data was only potentially
. output and it was always based on a complete string.
* With task search highlighting, rows now containing a
. match must be output in pieces and, therefore, can't
. be optimized away like other rows which haven't been
. been altered. This is because top cannot predict the
. the contents of a search string or, how many matches
. might occur in a given row. Short search strings and
. many matches would raise buffer needs geometrically.

to each individual selection. Thus a user can maintain
multiple active searches without having to reissue the

Such a reminder is important when no found matches are
present on the 1st display page, given that they would
otherwise be apparent via the additional highlighting.

We have modeled the Inspect search provisions on those

the next step and provide for highlighting any strings
matched (and in view). Of course, top will continue to
adjust the beginning column so as to bring out-of-view
matches into view, while highlighting visible matches.
However, top won't emulate every 'less' behavior since
the following are seen as flaws in the user interface.
* when viewing true binary data, less makes no attempt
. to smooth the right margin by truncating unprintable
. symbols, thus creatng ragged unappealing right edges
* when viewing true binary data, less will always fail
. search requests regardless of surrounding characters
* less refuses to bring out-of-view found matches into
. view by adjusting the left-most column, if necessary

Previously top would warn users if an older version of
an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming
that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however,
other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended.
For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had
overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry
was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f')
then top would silently accept it but look no further.
With this commit top will try to process every inspect
entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all
other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to
the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given.

The Inspect find algorithm has always been challenging
given the possibility that 'rows' might contain binary
data. Be that as it may, two small changes have proven
to dramatically improve the performance of such scans.
The first involves the case wherein if no match on the
'substring' portion of a row was found, then a pointer
representing the substring was increased by the length
of the search string, not the better/longer substring.
Thus, portions of the substring were always rescanned!
The second performance boost was achieved in this way:
pre-scanning each raw row for just the first character
in the search string now determines if a full match is
even possible. Therefore, repeated unproductive strstr
calls on individual substrings within that row will be
avoided. In a nutshell, 1 'if' with '}' did the trick!

This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability. Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.
It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.
A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display. Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view. And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.
Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.
There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile. And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.
Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data. Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.
The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.
Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries. Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.

The 'refactor and enhance column width management'
recent redesign produced many subsequent benefits,
the latest of which is automatically sized fixed-width
non-scalable columns.
As expected, there was a cost associated with these
many enhancements. That cost has now been identified
as a 1-4% performance degradation, depending on which
fields are being displayed.
This increased cost arises principally from current
drawing related function calls, whereas top-3.3.3 did
most of its drawing via macros effectively inlining
those duties.
This commit inlines the equivalent drawing functions,
thus eliminating the function call penalty, and places
this top on a par with top-3.3.3. The trade off is a
modest additional 4k in executable size.

The recent introduction of a column widths override
(the 'X' command) provided for a user input amount
to be added to default field size which ranged from
5 to 10 bytes.
While that approach could prevent truncated data, the
different default sizes would almost certainly mean
some precious screen real estate was waisted.
This commit introduces the concept of dynamic widths
where top will add only enough to a field default to
prevent truncation for that specific field.
Now users have a choice between their explicit width
override or a width chosen by top to exactly match
display needs. The former is immediate but likely
wastes some horizontal space while the latter is
iterative but will be sized precisely.

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.

Lastly, since all C compilers have supported use of
C++ style comments for the past 20 years, the top
program will never trade them for the often more
cumbersome C style comments simply to avoid this

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.

When sort column header emphasis was extended to a
monochrome screen, the ability to emphasize selections
on the Fields Management screen was lost when colors
were not being displayed.
This patch corrects that bug by using the capclr_hdr
terminfo string instead of capclr_msg.

Until the 'locate/search' provisions were added,
top avoided the need for any function prototypes
through careful source file organization. But
the addition of the find_string function required
a prototpe for task_show, lest a massive file
reorganization be undertaken.
This commit moves the actual protype out of top.h
and places it adjacent to the caller in order to
avoid a warning when top_nls.c is compiled.

All top.h defines were lumped together as:
'Development/Debugging defines'
This commit establishes this new category:
'Defines represented in configure.ac'
And that new category now contains OOMEM_ENABLE,
which enables the SuSE out-of-memory additions

At one time the 'open_psdb_message' library call was
supported with the concept of a postponed message
which would display after top startup completed.
In turn, that required logic to strip the '\n' which
was embedded (inappropriately) in any such message.
Nowdays top treats such a returned error as fatal so
there is no need for the 'strim' function which is
being removed with this commit.

We originally approached the potential problem of
% CPU distortions as unique to Nehalem type cpus.
The latest information suggests that it may have
been due to a kernel anomaly that has since been
corrected.
Yet even without such a cpu, wide disparities in
tics allocation among all available cpus have
sometimes been observed -- spikes as it were in
the normal pattern. This has happened under both
version 2.26.38-13 and 3.0.0-15 kernels.
The small amount of additional code addressing the
original problem carries very little overhead. It
is being retained to afford protection against any
future tic accounting aberrations.
In this commit, supporting programmer comments have
been divorced from any particular cpu type. Also,
another variable and manifest constant will now be
eliminated when CPU_ZEROTICS is defined.

When the calibrate_fields function was broken up for
mainainability, an obscure regression was introduced.
For the resulting bug to affect the display, all of
the following conditions would have to be met:
. USE_X_COLHDR was not defined
. column highlighting had been turned on
. many, perhaps all, fields were displayable
. the user then typed the <End> key
. and the current sort column just happened to
be immediately to the left of the left-most
visible field
This patch corrects for that remote possibility.

The calibrate_fields function had grown too large and
was adversly impacting maintainence. So half of the
logic was split out into a new function.
Now, maintainence of column headers and the required
library flags is organized as follows:
. adj_geometry (calibrate_fields helper)
provides low-level support for sigwinch, memory
. build_headers (calibrate_fields helper)
constructs the headers and library flags
. calibrate_fields
establishes which fields will be displayed
( note the alpha order mentioned in a prior commit )

The top program is carefully organized into sections
and those sections are carefully placed so as to avoid
the need for prototypes. *
Additionally, names of functions are carefully chosen
to maintain alphabetical order within each section.
The names of most 'helper' functions, which are always
placed immediately above the calling functions, often
only met the spirit of the alphabetical law, not the
actual letter of that law.
This commit alters the names of such helper functions
so as to mainatin strict ascii alphabetical order
within each section.
* the single exception to prototypes is find_string,
which calls the task_show function, and would have
prompted a massive reorganization.

The recently added logic dealing with "missing" tics
is mutually exclusive with logic associated with a
define called CPU_ZEROTICS.
This commit expands the use of that define to exclude
such Nehalem logic as appropriate.
It also extends programmer notes in top.h to include
an attribution for initiating the topic of potential
Nehalem type % CPU distortions, acknowledging:
