c69b02438f NEWS: update (and reorganize) with accumulated changes
For what could be our last oldlib release, why not try
to make the NEWS a little more readable. So, it's been
reorganized by category and bug fixes were out-dented.

1310a76848 watch,free: interpet intervals in non-locale way
Both watch and free used the locale to determine the required delay
interval for subsequent updates. It's preferable to not care about
locale and accept both 12.34 and 12,34 as meaning 12 seconds and
340 microseconds.

365cb37029 library: find tty device name of process quicker
The procps library attempts to work out the tty of a process
through several methods. For things like /dev/tty123 or
/dev/foo it works fine.

For tty devices that put the minor number in a directory
of the major name this fails. So then we have to fallback
to stating things like the processes STDERR and try again.

Considering a lot of processes sit on ttys such as
/dev/pts/3 this is a lot of wasted time. At the point of
entering driver_name we know "/dev/pts" and we know "3"
we just didn't join them up the right way as this is old
code.

This change now looks for /dev/pts/3 as well. It does it
after looking for /dev/pts3 so the behaviour is the same.

07642b8ea6 kill: report error if cannot kill process
Shell kill would report a problem if you tried to kill a process
while procps kill was silent. This meant it looked like kill worked

3f5b75035e pidof: check cmd if space in argv0
A difference in behaviour between the sysvinit and procps pidof
was that the procps one would sometimes not find process that
the sysvinit one did.

The difference is that if a space is found in argv[0] then sysvinit
would look at cmd for a match. This isn't perfect and more of a
best guess but does often work.

procps pidof now follows the same "standard". The most obvious
difference is with kde based processes and incoming ssh connections
with sshd.

5da390422d ps: use attr/current as fallback for context

fd007d6d1d free: Parse -s option correctly.
If the -s option was the first option on the command line, free
would report seconds argument failed. This only appeared on the
Debian free, not the one in git.

Closer examination revealed that if a valid float string is
given to strtof() it doesn't set errno to 0, but just leaves it
alone. As we are explicitly testing errno for overflows, this
means the previous errno change is picked up here.

The simple answer is to set errno to 0 before calling strtof().

92071e963e pmap: print process even if smaps unreadable
pmap would previously print the process name if
/proc/PID/smaps could be opened, even if subsequent
reads failed.  This actually occurs with other users
PIDs.

Kernel 3.18rc1 introduced a change where the file could
not been opened, meaning pmap -X 1 previously showed
the process name and nothing else but NOW shows nothing
make check failed because of this.

This change prints the process name even before trying to open
the file, returning it to previous behaviour.
Thanks to Vincent Bernat for some analysis.

7610b3128e skill: fix command line with signal
If skill was used with a signal number then it would intepret
the command line with last option interpreted twice. This often
confused the program so it just would end up killing nothing.
So this would work:
skill -t pts/0
This would not:
skill -9 -t pts/0

The kill path (in the same file) uses the same logic that has
been introduced here.

8ef6cd91fc top: retire old stale startup defaults in favor of new
For over a decade top has used a startup configuration
mimicking the original redhat top. This decision dates
back to when the forked Sourceforge version was trying
to win over users in battles with that ancient kludge.

Will anybody deny that those defaults are coyote ugly?

Well, it is time that top presented a more modern look
at startup, providing that no saved rcfile exists. But
just in case some distro prefers that old, comfortable
look, there's the '--disable-modern-top' build option.

[ Pssst. With the widened memory fields it turns out ]
[ the 'Mem' default window had become almost useless ]
[ on an 80x24 terminal since %CPU & COMMAND were out ]
[ of view. So some other defaults were tweaked a bit ]
[ whether or not --disable-modern-top was specified. ]

0fe393ff27 top: inoculated against a window manager like 'screen'
If top were invoked under the 'screen' window manager,
writing the terminfo string 'exit_ca_mode' at top exit
would not restore the display to the state existing at
the time top was started. That's what occurs normally.
The net result of that failure was a corrupted screen.

However, there is a 'screen' configuration option that
will produce proper 'rmcup' behavior, but it is off by
default. That screencr option is known as 'altscreen'.
I stumbled across this provision by cloning the screen
git repository then searching for references to 'cup'.

If 'altscreen on' had been in either the /etc/screenrc
or the $HOME/.screenrc configuration file, my poor old
top would never have been accused of such corruptions.
Of course, the Programming Gods decree that any simple
solution for our problem must always be revealed last.

So before discovering that rc option, another approach
was taken involving top only. With just a little extra
refactoring of top display logic he was made immune to
any such quirk in the implementation of 'smcup/rmcup'.

I always feel good about any enhancement that actually
reduces the total number of lines of code. Even though
this change involved mostly rearranging some logic, it
yielded one less line (can't judge by diffstat because
of braces & notes). Anyway, rather than requiring some
change to a screenrc file, now we are self-sufficient.
