The entire tree's polluted with inappropriate trailing
whitespace. This commit rids our environment of all of
those useless keystrokes. Unfortunately, it sure ain't
a permanent solution and requires every contributor to
instruct their editor(s) to prevent or eliminate them.
Plus it's strongly recommended we all insert something
like what's shown below to our '.gitconfig' file so as
to provide at least some warnings when we try to apply
any patches (git am) that do contain the #@!%& things!

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.

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.).

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

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.

Under certain circumstances, using abort() when either make check
or make distcheck puts ps into an infinite loop around the
function catastrophic_failure() in ps and the C library raise
and abort functions.
Using exit removes this problem and does almost the same thing.
This code currently uses error_at_line() from error.h, so pull it in.
Long term, this might get moved to c.h as a local helper on err.h,
but I have no idea.

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).

Some of the latest changes to Makefile.am files are missing.
This patch restores the LOCALEDIR variable, among others,
and dispenses with the include directives in the ps/ and top/
subdirectories since they're no longer needed.
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
This commit is prmarily concerned with elimnating deugging only
code from the nls template file.
It also eliminates any remaing useless trailing whitespace.
This patch mostly reorganizes include files and eliminates
some useless trailing whitespace.
It also adopts the standard procps-ng unconditional approach
to nls initialization.
The library used to be called libprocps but it was renamed to make sure
there was only one. However the formatting of the library SONAME has
changed so there cannot be any confusion.
libprocps makes it clear that its a library from this project and not a
set of functions directly on the filesystem.
Add the following three functions to most of the commands.
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
textdomain(PACKAGE);
