This darn patch began as 1 correction to an extraneous
comma in the man document. Then, it grew to include an
adjustment for a couple of additional man page things.
After that, I figured I might as well tighten up logic
dealing with those awful gaps in the getopt_long code.

For quite some time now, top has stood out like a sore
thumb regarding the approach to cmdline options & help
text. Only short options were used and that same help
text was displayed for '-h' (help) plus 'v' (version).
[ also, top 'rolled his own' when it came to parsing ]
[ options while avoiding that getopt implementation. ]
Well, with this commit all of that has changed and top
now has added a long form of his options. Additionally
he employs getopt_long() for the bulk of that parsing.
[ however, top will still avoid separate fputs calls ]
[ characteristic of other procps-ng programs when it ]
[ comes to help. rather all such text is one string. ]
Along the way, the following major getopt deficiencies
were addressed, assuming the absence of a new #define:
* an equals sign ('=') is allowed on both option forms
* whitespace is allowed before & after the equals sign
* optional arguments needn't abut their related option
for short form nor is an '=' required with either form

Ordinarily, whenever a new field is added to top, that
RCF_VERSION_ID should be bumped which then prevents an
older version of top from reading the expanded rcfile.
With this change, however, we'll keep the existing 'k'
version since we've yet to release the newlib version.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
As far back as release 3.2.8 (maybe even farther) this
man page used a number with each field's descriptions.
That practice caused no real harm when top was limited
to a grand total of 26 fields (thru lower case letters
of the alphabet). However, now we've reached 70 fields
and, depending on the name that's chosen, adding a new
field could result in a massive renumbering of fields.
Thus, this patch eliminates such potential by removing
all numbers from section '3a. DESCRIPTIONS of Fields'.

The commit shown below introduced two abreast printing

always been printed on separate lines when '4' was on.
With this commit, those lines will now be treated just
like %Cpu stats, either separate lines or two abreast.

When the '4' toggle is on, and Summary Area %Cpu lines
are shown two abreast, it's not always clear where the
separation is between the two processors. So with this
patch we'll now print a vertical bar separator between
them (looking similar to the existing field headings).
We will also reduce that 'GRAPH_suffix' constant to 1,
reflecting the the trailing ']' bracket only, so as to
maximize top's exploitation of available screen width.

As promised, this commit will ensure that TREE_FOCUS_X
impacts only the window under which an 'F' was issued.
Previously, when 'F' was invoked it would impact every
window that was displaying forest view. Now, only that
window where 'F' was applied will show the indentation
losses whenever multiple windows were being displayed.
[ each of the 4 windows can now have different focus ]

Just to see if I could, the new #define will force the
indentation of a parent task to be reset to zero while
maintaining the proper child indentation relationship.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
Sometimes, it might be useful to isolate a parent task
and its forked children from other system activity. As
an example, a user might want to examine workload in a
specific lxc container. Or maybe there is some need to
question what's happening under the same tmux session.
Since forest view mode tends to be a relatively stable
display, it will sometimes satisfy the above need. But
that mode can't currently guarantee the target process
always remains as the topmost task or even is visible.
So, this patch will enable focusing on any parent task
and keeping it as the topmost process while displaying
it and its forked children only. It then appears as if
there is no other activity in that system by virtue of
the blank lines which follow that final child process.
To implement this new feature, top's redundant 'F' key
has been repurposed. It made little sense devoting two
keys to the Fields Management screen (especially since
the key we've taken required two separate keystrokes).

In the patch referenced below, 2 potential abends were
fixed both of which involved 'alternate display mode'.
The root cause of those abends was a negative value in
the 'begnext' field for other than the current window.
And while that potential is fixed for now the existing
code almost invites such problems again in the future.
So, this patch will remove any temptation to name some
other window in the 'mkVIZrow1' macro. And, since that
macro is not the only source of 'begnext' changes, the
'mkVizrowX' is being added to identify such occasions.
[ and for symmetry i've added a 'mkVIZyes' macro and ]
[ ameliorated an otherwise surreptitious assignment! ]
Reference(s):
commit 8281ac4f98
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
This commit will address potential abends upon leaving
the windows help or color mapping screens and invoking
alternate display mode ('A'). It only happens if that
current window was changed with multiple 'a'/'w' keys.
So now, rather than leaving a trail of negative values
in the 'begtask' field, compliments of that win_select
function, we'll remove the mkVIZrow1 macro. Henceforth
it will be issued just once per user interaction. Thus
a promise of 'Curwin' only being impacted is restored.

My, how time flies. Here we are finally attending to a
2 year old issue at long last (well, at least top is).
In truth, this change was prompted by that more recent
issue #201 and simply represents my initial picks from
among those available with the new library provisions.
Note: we have to bump that rcfile version whenever new
fields are added. That will mean older top programs no
longer can read this top's rcfile. But that's Ok since
top offers a warning before replacing an older rcfile.
Doubtless, more smaps_rollup fields will be introduced
under top as we get more experience with this feature.
However, any such usage comes with tremendoud costs as
was reported for the previous patch and repeated here:
Here is a small preview of just what you will discover
when using this command line: time top/top -d0 -n1000.

top: In the bye_bye function, replace fputs with the write interface.
When top calls malloc, if a signal is received, it will
call sig_endpgm to process the signal. In the bye_bye function, if the

will calls malloc at the same time. The malloc function is not reentrant, so
it will cause the program to crash.

The Inspection feature already offered an INSP_SLIDE_1

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
With the restoration of corrupt utf8 multibyte editing
to the library, it's important to establish the proper
locale before calling that 'fatal_proc_unmounted' guy.
He calls the original 'look_up_our_self' who, in turn,
will invoke 'stat2proc' which then calls 'escape_str'.
Once there, it's too late to effect changes to locale.
[ the result would be lots and lots of '?' displayed ]
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
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.

This patch is an outgrowth of that commit shown below.
Many additional potential segmentation faults might be

[ always the 'k', 'L', 'r', 'Y' keys & maybe 'v' too ]
