When not displaying all tasks (the 'i' toggle is off),
the concept of vertical scrolling has no real meaning.
However, only 2 keys (up/down) impacting that vertical
position were currently being disabled with this mode.
This patch will extend such treatment to the following
additional vertical impact keys: pgup,pgdn,home & end.

This program does a good job of policing that vertical
scrolled position, ensuring that total tasks are never
exceeded. However, during transitions from thread mode
to normal task mode (the 'H' toggle) that wasn't true.
And while there was no real harm done, it did make the
use of up/down arrow keys "appear" disabled especially
if that scroll message was not displayed ('C' toggle).
This patch simply forces a return to row #1 whenever a
user toggles that display between thread & task modes.

read were checked so as to prevent some malicious user

However when it came to colors I was surprised to find
that at least one user edited the rcfile for 256-color

This patch prevents three problems:
1/ Because snprintf() returns "the number of characters (excluding the
terminating null byte) which would have been written to the final string
if enough space had been available", _eol may point past the end of _str
and write out-of-bounds (in Batch mode).
2/ _eol is never checked against _str, so "while (*(--_eol) == ' ');"
may point _eol below _str and write out-of-bounds (in Batch mode).
3/ Sanity-check Pseudo_row to protect the strcpy().
- Make sure i is at least 1 before "i - 1" and "--i".
- Initialize endpflg (to 0, as it was originally, since it is static)
before the "for" loop (the "break" may leave endpflg uninitialized,
for example).
The safety of the critical function task_show() depends on the sanity of
Screen_cols. Just copy the tests on w_cols to Screen_cols (from the same
function adj_geometry()).
The default action for SIGURG is to ignore the signal, for example.
This is very similar to the patch "ps/display.c: Always exit from
signal_handler()."

Otherwise they may lead to out-of-bounds writes (snprintf() returns the
number of characters which would have been written if enough space had
been available).
Also, make sure buf is null-terminated after COLPLUSCH has been written.
If the HOME environment variable is not set, or not absolute, use the
home directory returned by getpwuid(getuid()), if set and absolute
(instead of the cwd "."); otherwise, set p_home to NULL.
To keep the changes to a minimum, we rely on POSIX, which requires that
fopen() fails with ENOENT if the pathname (Rc_name) is an empty string.
This integrates well into the existing code, and makes write_rcfile()
work without a change.
Also, it makes the code in configs_read() easier to follow: only set and
use p_home if safe, and only set Rc_name if safe (in all the other cases
it is the empty string, and the fopen() calls fail). Plus, check for
snprintf() truncation (and if it happens, reset Rc_name to the empty
string).
Important note: top.1 should probably be updated, since it mentions the
fallback to the current working directory.
With a little luck, this should be the final tweak for
our support of extra wide characters. Currently, those
characters don't always display the '+' indicator when
they've been truncated. Now, it should always be seen.

After wrestling with extra wide characters, supporting

widths might force a truncation of translated headers.

When I recently added extra wide character support for
locales like zh_CN, I didn't worry about some overhead
associated with the new calls to 'mbtowc' & 'wcwidth'.
That's because such overhead was usually incurred with
user interactions, not a normal iterative top display.
There was, however, one area where this overhead would
impact the normal iterative top mode - that's with the
Summary display. So I peeked at the glibc source code.
As it turns out, the costs of executing those 'mbtowc'
and 'wcwidth' functions were not at all insignificant.
So, this patch will avoid them in the vast majority of
instances, while still enabling extra wide characters.

Those references below offer more detail regarding the
default startup changes beginning with version 3.3.10.
It is important to remember that all such changes were
supposed to impact only new users or users who had not
saved the personal config file (via that 'W' command).
However, I introduced a bug wherein the rcfile was not
fully honored. This gave the changes a bad reputation.
That bug was corrected in release 3.3.11 but the issue
of default startup options keeps resurfacing. And it's
clear there's no consensus on what should be included.
Our --disable-modern-top configure option is of little
help since it remains an all-or-nothing approach. What
we need is an answer offering unlimited customization.
So, this commit will provide distribution packagers or
system administrators with a much more flexible way to
set their own preferred startup default configuration.
A new rcfile is being introduced: '/etc/topdefaultrc',
whose format/content is the same as a personal rcfile.
Thus once a 'proper' enterprise configuration has been
established and saved via 'W', it can be copied to the
/etc/ directory. Thereafter, startup in the absence of
a saved rcfile will use that configuration as default.
Now if a distribution packager or system administrator
wishes to expose their users to some of top's advanced
capabilities they can do so gradually. Perhaps setting
up graph mode for summary area task and memory display
while retaining the %CPU sort could be tried. Or maybe
showing colors, but better customized for a particular
terminal emulator. Such possibilities are now endless.

Initially, I was going to ignore that coverity warning
CID #177876. But, since top may be running SETUID it's
best if it can be avoided instead. The fix was simple.
We'll trade the access() call for a real fopen() call.
This time-of-check-time-of-use warning should go away.

When XDG support was originally introduced in top, the
author made a poor choice in access(). A real question
that needed asking was 'does the file exist'. However,
the question that was asked was 'can this real user ID
or this real group ID access the file'. Then, when the
fopen() is finally issued, top would use the effective
user ID or the effective group ID to access that file.
That's what opened the potential TOCTOU vulnerability,
which was important only if top was running SUID/SGID.

The previous commit implemented multi-byte support for
the basic top user interaction and display provisions.
This commit completes multi-byte support by addressing
that 'Inspect Other Output' feature (the 'Y' command).
Few people probably exploit this very powerful feature
which allows the perusing of any file or piped output.
And even if nobody uses 'Y', someone will stumble over
it on the help screen and try it out. Assuming top was
not built with INSP_OFFDEMO defined, they'll end up on
the screen our translators have faithfully translated.
Without this patch, such a screen would display with a
bunch of 'unprintable' characters which will then show
in the standard (less-like) way as: '^A', '<C3>', etc.
In other words, those poor screens will be a big mess!
[ this program can even display an executable binary ]
[ while at that same time supporting Find/Find Next. ]
[ imagine, a file with no guarantee of real strings! ]
[ just try a Find using less with such binary files. ]
With this commit, the translated 'Y' demo screens will
now be properly shown, providing no invalid multi-byte
characters have been detected. Should that be the case
then they'll be displayed in that less-like way above.
And, if users go on to fully exploit this 'Y' command,
there is a good chance that a file or pipe might yield
output in a utf-8 multi-byte form. Should that be true
such output will thus be handled appropriately by top.
[ in many respects, this change was more challenging ]

When this project first began implementing translation
support nearly 6 years ago, we overcame many 'gettext'
obstacles and limitations. And, of course, there were
not any actual translations at the time so our testing
was quite limited plus, in many cases, only simulated.
None of that, however, can justify or excuse the total
lack of attention to top's approach to NLS, especially
since some actual translations have existed for years.
When the issue referenced below was raised, I suffered
immediate feelings of anxiety, doubt and pending doom.
This was mostly because top strives to avoid line wrap
at all costs and that did not bode well for multi-byte
translated strings, using several bytes per character.
I was also concerned over possible performance impact,
assuming it was even possible to properly handle utf8.
But, after wrestling with the problem for several days
those initial feelings have now been replaced by guilt
over any trouble I initially caused those translators.
One can only imagine how frustrating it must have been
after the translation effort to then see top display a
misaligned column header and fields management page or
truncated screens like those of help or color mapping.
------------------------------------------------------
Ok, with that off my chest let's review these changes,
now that top properly handles UTF8 multi-byte strings.
. Performance - virtually all of this newly added cost
for multi-byte support is incurred during interactions
with the user. So, performance is not really an issue.
The one occasion when performance is impacted is found
during 'summary_show()' processing, due to an addition
of one new call to 'utf8_delta()' in 'show_special()'.
. Extra Wide Characters - I have not yet and may never
figure out a way to support languages like zh_CN where
the characters can be wider than most other languages.
. Translated User Name - at some future point we could
implement translation of user names. But as the author
of the issue acknowledged such names are non-standard.
Thus task display still incurs no new multi-byte costs
beyond those already incurred in that escape.c module.
For raising the issue I extend my sincerest thanks to:
Göran Uddeborg

Until this patch, top falsely assumed that there would
always be some (small) amount of physical memory after
subtracting 'used' and 'available' from the total. But
as the issue referenced below attests, a sum of 'used'
and 'available' might exceed that total memory amount.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with our calculation
of the 'used' amount, a flaw in the kernel 'available'
algorithms or some other reason I cannot even imagine.
Anyway, this patch protects against such a contingency
through the following single line addition of new code
. if (pct_used + pct_misc > 100.0 || pct_misc < 0) ...
The check for less than zero is not actually necessary

For the past 3 years top has fully honored that locale
LC_NUMERIC setting which impacts his refresh interval.
For the past nearly 5 years top has saved that refresh
value in a locale independent form in his config file.
With this commit we'll intentionally break top so that
a comma or period will be accepted for the radix point
regardless of what that LC_NUMERIC may have suggested.
The current locale LC_NUMERIC will, however, determine
how the delay interval is displayed in the 'd' prompt.
[ This position is better than the approach employed ]
[ by those coreutils 'sleep' and 'timeout' programs. ]
[ Both claim to permit floating point arguments. But ]
[ neither one will accept the comma separator should ]

There was a time when the PROCPS_PIDS_noop represented
the highest valued enumerator. Therefore if one wished
to prime an array consisting of pids_result structures
with this specific item a loop would have been needed.
Now that this enum is the first one, with the value of
zero, we can avoid avoid such a loop with just calloc.
But just in case, we'll use an 'if' to guarantee zero.
[ and the nice thing is, since the value is known at ]
[ compile time, that 'if' test plus subordinate loop ]
[ can be discarded by the compiler as long as it's 0 ]

This program has always tried to maintain an extermely
robust command line parsing procedure, far more robust
that what's available with the getopt stuff. But, with
the introduction of our first numeric switch it should
have been made even more robust than, in fact, it was.
This commit will now accomplish such a desirable goal.

All of top's display was designed to fit into an 80x24
terminal. This includes the help screens plus both the
Summary and Task Areas, assuming no saved config file.
With release 3.3.10, the startup defaults were changed
assuming ./configure --disable-modern-top wasn't used.
This was done in the hope of introducing some users to
unknown capabilities such as colors, forest view, etc.
The purpose of this commit is to coax a few more users
into possibly exploring another capability: scrolling.
We do so by tweaking the default startup display so as
to show full command lines. Now, when things no longer
fit in 80x24, horizontal scrolling might be exploited.
[ of course, this can be reversed with the -c switch ]

If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
program displays each cpu individually providing there
is sufficient vertical screen real estate. For massive
SMP environments this will necessitate use of a config
file where the cpu summary toggle ('1') could be saved
via the 'W' command. But, an rcfile may not be viable.
So this commit introduces a '1' command line switch to
emulate exactly the effects of the interactive toggle.
And since it is our first numeric switch some existing
parsing logic had to be changed slightly. Such changes
are, in truth, an improvement. For example, instead of
seeing "inappropriate '2'" with ./top -2 we'll now see
the vastly more appropriate error "unknown option '2'.

In their 3.2.7 version of top, Redhat introduced an -M
switch to automatically scale Summary Area memory data
to avoid truncation (and the resulting '+' indicator).
The procps-ng top does not employ suffixes with memory
data nor does it allow for different scaling with each
separate value. Rather, scaling appears at line start.
If built without ./configure --disable-modern-top, the
Summary Area memory will be scaled at GiB which should
lessen chance of truncation. Otherwise KiB was used to
reflect such memory, increasing the truncation chance.
And while 'W' can be used to preserve some appropriate
scaling value, there are arguments against such rcfile
approaches as cited in the issue and bug report below.
So this commit will bump the Summary Area memory scale
factor from KiB to MiB when using --disable-modern-top
as a concession to that Redhat bug report noted below.
And it also introduces a new command line switch which
can force any desired scaling regardless of the rcfile
or which ./configure option might have been specified.
[ for top's help text we'll show 'E' as if it were a ]

After much reflection I've come to the conclusion that
displaying 3 decimal places (usually) when memory data
had been scaled is no longer optimal with today's ever
increasing amounts. And given that not all task memory
fields are the same widths, inconsistencies can easily
arise as illustrated and discussed in the issue below.
Instead of unilaterally reducing the number of decimal
places, this commit will sneak in such a change via an
existing configure option that was very likely unused.
The former 'disable-wide-memory' option has now become
'enable-wide-memory', which can be used if the current
behavior (3 decimal places) is preferred. Without that
option, whenever memory is scaled beyond KiB, just one
decimal place will be shown in Summary and Task areas.
And Task area field width will no longer be changed by
this revised configure option. Instead, all such field
widths will now be fixed at the former maximum values.

In the commit referenced below, in addition to several
tweaks to comments, 3 fields were no longer assured of
being present in the results stacks. However, 2 of the
3 fields might, in fact, be required even if they were
not currently being displayed in any of the 4 windows.
The PIDS_CMD is used in two separate 'Inspect' headers
('Y' command) and the PIDS_ID_EUID is required if that
'User Filter' ('u' or 'U' command) was being employed.
That latter field's inclusion will be made conditional
but the former field must be unconditionally included.
( for old top, PIDS_CMD would have always been there )

since the top program already accommodates the lack of

After discovering those terrible costs associated with
/proc/status vs. /proc/stat, our library changed so as
to favor the latter if a field could be met by either.
Well, low-and-behold, this top program had chosen some
item enumerators that needlessly caused 'status' to be
accessed when 'statm' could be used instead. And while
top's needs require conversion from pages to KiB, that
is still far less costly than that damn 'status' file.
[ this was found when comparing newlib top against a ]
[ 3.2.8 ancient top since the current master top was ]

This patch is a response to errors found in those type

In two cases, former assignments to a result structure
