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.

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:

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.

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
For the original implementation of the '4' toggle, the
minimum width was set at 165 columns. This was done to
avoid truncations when detailed cpu statistics (versus
graphs) were being displayed. Those can not be scaled.
Upon reflection, it seems more appropriate to give the
user the choice of whether or not to truncate. And, by
reducing that minimum width requirement to 80 columns,
we'll vastly expand potential use of two abreast mode.
[ we'll keep that original as '#define TOG4_NOTRUNC' ]
The patch also updates the man document appropriately.
Along the way, we will trade the potentially confusing
word 'adjacent' for the more natural 'additional' when
detailing the '!' toggle in 4b. Summary-Area-Commands.

The Debian bug referenced below has nothing to do with
locales. In fact, top was made locale independent back
in release 3.3.13 (April, 2018). However, that bug did
reveal some misplaced logic which this patch corrects.
Prompted by the Qualys audit, all rcfile field strings
were checked for potential duplicates which could only
have resulted from some user's manual/malicious edits.
Unfortunately, that code was executed before top had a
chance to enforce the proper/maximum string length (in
the event an extremely old rcfile had just been read).
This created some potential string overrun references.
In top's original 3.3.15 implementation, the potential
overrun extended for 15 characters. That is the number
of field characters added with 3.3.9 (December, 2013).
But, since strchr() was used, no error exit was taken.
In the revised 3.3.16 implementation, the strchr() was
replaced with '&w->rc.fieldscur[n]'. This held overrun
to a single position while producing an error message.
So, this commit just moves that logic to a point where
fieldscur is guaranteed to be longer than EU_MAXPFLGS.

This patch will eliminate a bug which is unique to our

This bug surfaces as either all zero results for tasks

A recent issue (and merge request) reminded me of gaps
in top's alternate 'vim' navigation keys support. Some
xterm emulators do not pass the customary strings when
keys were used with the <Ctrl> and/or <Alt> modifiers.
While it was a known problem, this issue/merge request
prompted research into the root cause. As it turns out
the problem is traceable to an X resource known by the
name 'eightBitInput'. When 'true' (the default), a key
pressed in combination with <Alt> will not be preceded
by the <Esc> character. Rather, a single character was
presented (modified via an 'eightBitMeta' X resource).
The following approaches would eliminate this problem:
. start xterm thus: xterm -xrm '*eightBitInput: false'
. use: ~/.Xresources with 'Xterm*eightBitInput: false'
. build xterm with 'configure --enable-meta-sends-esc'
( apparently used for CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE, etc. )
. enable xterm's menu via 'configure --enable-toolbar'
( so the user can set the 'Meta Sends Escape' option )
Of course, none of the above steps is desirable from a
user's perspective. So, this patch will add additional
entries to the iokey function's tinfo_tab to represent
strings passed when the <Alt> key does not send <Esc>.
[ hopefully they'll be the same across all platforms ]
Lastly, this patch will also eliminate those redundant
<Atl> + '\', '/', '<' & '>' provisions, which now seem
like overkill and suffer from that same 'eightBitMeta'
xterm problem. And we might as well say goodbye to the
4 '<Alt> + arrow key' table entries (which do not seem
to currently work with any emulator which I can find).

From the outset, top has tried to provide some minimal
garbage collection in support of forest view collapse.
For example, with every 'v' keystroke, a check is made
of the currently targeted pids. If all were negative,
which means expanded, that Hide_pid array was emptied.
Recently, yet another efficiency was added wherein the
continuing scan for a targeted pid was terminated when
a match was found. But, one more inefficiency existed.
When a task which was subject to collapse under forest
view mode has disappeared (ended), repeatedly scanning
for such a pid with each iteration makes little sense.
So this commit will negate such targeted pids and thus
avoid scanning every current task looking for a match.
Then, if 'v' is ever stuck at some point in the future
there will be a chance to empty that Hide_pid[] array.

The top program has always specified the maximum stack
depth at 'new' time. Then, in those stacks the minimum
number of result structures were used for representing
only fields actually being displayed in the 4 windows.
That, however, complicated all subsequent access since
each field's enumerator then had to be translated into
a relative position when interacting with the library.
This was accomplished by that Fieldstab 'erel' member.
So this patch eliminates an extra level of indirection
by fully exploiting the existing maximum sized stacks.
Now, the enumerators that top uses to represent fields
also represent their relative positions in each stack.

Currently, it isn't possible to establish an 'Inspect'
pipe that relies on SIGINT to end. That's because this
signal will also end the parent process (top) as well.
So this patch will temporarily ignore that signal when
processing any 'Inspect' pipe, allowing one like this:

Upon startup there exists the potential for some minor

Parent tasks with collapsed children should have their
cpu reflect any unseen tasks only under the following:
1) When built without TREE_VCPUOFF having been defined
2) Exclusively when 'Show_FOREST' display mode was set
3) And only under the current window when in alternate
display mode (except if TREE_VWINALL has been defined)
So, this commit just ensures these objectives are met.

Now, when a parent's children have been collapsed, the
cpu used by those unseen tasks will disappear no more.
Instead such tics will be added to the parent's total.
[ if one wished a return to the 'land of lost tics', ]
[ the '#define TREE_VCPUOFF' directive is available. ]
------------------------------------------------------
Note: With collapsible parents now displaying children
cpu usage, it will eventually be noticed the cpu stats
for the summary area and task areas often vary widely.
It's worth a reminder that for top's summary area each
individual cpu and the cpu summary is limited to 100%,
regardless of how many tics a linux kernel may export.
An individual task is limited to 100% times the number
of threads. But, in no case will cpu usage ever exceed
100% times total number of processors. Such limits are
further reduced under 'Solaris' mode ('I' toggle off).
In this mode, a task cpu usage will never exceed 100%.
These limits will now also apply to collapsed parents.
In addition to those influences, results are subjected
to kernel timer sampling anomalies and the distortions
inherent in a small sample size, made worse by smaller
delay intervals. Often there is just 1 or 2 tics for a
few tasks at smaller intervals such as: 1/10th second.
Anyway, should questions on this subject arise, a good
starting point, beyond the reminders above, is the 1st

This patch just addresses some edge cases with respect
to 'unseen' tasks. Given the ability to preserve other
filters in the rcfile, it's entirely possible the very
first task(s) may not be visible at top startup. Also,
when switching between windows ('a'/'w') we should try
to always position its row #1 on some visible process.
Lastly, a window might have *NO* visible tasks at all.
Therefore, protect 'window_hlp' from an infinite loop.

To my knowledge, nobody has ever complained about some
anomalies when scrolling vertically if tasks should be
hidden from view. This can happen with the user filter
('u/U') or other filter ('o/O') features. And although
some tasks are not shown, they still impact scrolling.
This is most apparent when that scroll coordinates msg
is on ('C') & up/down arrow keys used (vs. pgup/pgdn).
Now that we can collapse/expand forked children, there
is a potential for yet more of those hidden processes.
So this commit normalizes vertical scrolling providing
an expected behavior. In other words, the up/down keys
skip the unseen tasks to reposition on a visible task.

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.
[ in exploiting this new capability, i hope that the ]

Initially, I was going to ignore that coverity warning
CID #177876. But, since top may be running SETUID it's

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.

Unlike the insp_mkrow_raw function the insp_mkrow_utf8
routine is not equipped to print non-ctl, non-printing
characters like '<7f>'. However, technically that very
value currently slips through the cracks. So with this
patch top will now print a space in the unlikely event
a character with the value of 127 is ever encountered.

Since all the necessary utf-8 plumbing is now in place
this commit will extend multi-byte support to user and
group names. Now top will be on a par with the ps guy.
[ plus, it's also my way of showing appreciation for ]
[ all those investments silently made by translators ]

Translatable column headers are supposed to be limited
to no more than 7 characters, even though some columns
are wider than that or even variable width. That value
of 7 is dictated by the Fields Management screen which
will otherwise truncate a column header longer than 7.
Our new utf-8 support did not adequately deal with the
potential need for truncation of column headers should
that limit of 7 be exceeded. This patch corrects that.

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 ]
[ than the basic support within the previous commit. ]
[ story of my life: least used = most effort needed. ]
Many thanks to our procps-ng translators which enabled
a proper test of these changed 'Y' command provisions:

. Polish: Jakub Bogusz
. German: Mario Blättermann
. French: Frédéric Marchal, Stéphane Aulery

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

The 'N_fmt' and 'N_txt' macros are interchangeable and
just highlight the 2 str types found in Norm_nlstable.
The change in this patch (strictly cosmetic) was found
during the coding for what will be the next 2 commits.
It has not been squashed into either of those so as to
not muddy up the waters for what was a major refactor.

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
as long as the source numbers remain unsigned. However
should they ever become signed, we'll have protection.

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 ]
[ the locale be a country that in fact uses a comma. ]

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 ]

Ok, I admit it. I'm now tired of cleaning up after me.
This is the 3rd related tweak after that '-1' argument
was originally introduced. And with this patch we will
once again properly honor the '-o' and '-u|U' switches
without a need to be followed by an additional switch.

That preceding commit corrected a little mismanagement
regarding the MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED enumerator, which was
used in the following programs: free, top plus vmstat.
This patch simply adapts those programs to use the new
MEMINFO_MEM_CACHED_ALL enumerator, which reflects both
the 'Cached' plus 'SReclaimable' values they expected.

With the introduction of a new '1' command line toggle
I have gone and broken a provision of the '-p' command
line switch (pids monitoring). Multiple pids could not
be specified through the use of comma delimited lists.

There exists the possibility that a 'putp' call can be
issued before the 'setupterm' invocation has occurred,
as is reflected in a bugzilla report referenced below.
Strangely, such a SEGV isn't always triggered as logic
would suggest it ought to be. I experienced a fault in
these environments with the associated curses version:
. archlinux, procps-ng 3.3.12, ncurses 6.0.20170429
. fedora-25, procps-ng 3.3.10, ncurses 6.0.20160709
. opensuse-42.2, procps-ng 3.3.9, ncurses 5.9.20140201
. gentoo, procps-ng 3.3.12, ncurses 6.0.20150808
. slackw-14.2, procps-ng 3.3.12, ncurses 6.0.20160910
Whereas under these environments there was no problem:
. ubuntu-17.04, procps-ng 3.3.12, ncurses 6.0.20160625
. debian-test, procps-ng 3.3.12, ncurses 6.0.20161126
. mageia-5.1, procps-ng 3.3.9, ncurses 5.9.20140323
[ as an aside, the expected result in the bug report ]
[ is incorrect and should mention the '1' parameter. ]
[ however, until release 3.3.13 when the '1' becomes ]
[ a valid switch, numbers are not detected when used ]
[ with any switch which doesn't require an argument. ]
[ you're welcome to treat that as a separate bugglet ]
