The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.
However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.
As the referenced website says:
Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
align text.
Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.
As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.
French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!

Signed-off-by: Craig Small <csmall@dropbear.xyz>
free has for many years had a problem with translated header columns
or the first column. This is because printf("-9s", str) doesn't use
the wide length of the string but the char length meaning they are
mis-aligned.
Using the mbstowcs() function to get the wide length and then
a precision parameter to append the right number of spaces after the
number means we get what we need.

You can match or filter on cgroup paths. Currently the match is only
done for version 2 cgroups because these are way simpler as they have
a unified name and always start with "0::".
cgroup v1 can have:
named groups "1:name=myspecialname:"
controllers "9:blkio:"
multiple controllers! "4:cpu,cpuacct:"
So they are very much more complicated from a options parsing and
cgroup matching point of view.
In addition, both my Debian bookworm and bullseye systems use
v2 cgroups.

This MR revisits a partial fix from 2018. The problem stems from incorrect
handling of unsigned 32-bit uid_ts and gid_ts as signed when values are
large - i.e. when the high bit is set. In that case, pgrep and pkill fail to
identify processes by uid. (They succeed when finding the same processes by
username.) The primary fix for this is to impliment the "FIXME" comment in
proc/readproc.h, the implementation of which allows the removal of the (int)
casts from the partial fix from 2018.
The other fixed code in this MR consists of tests in strict_atol() that
detects and errors out on overflows.

Real usecase:

returns 0 even though it failed with EINVAL
The close_stream() realised there was an issue and printed an

systemd-sysctl handles glob patterns along with overrides and

The return value for sysctl is consistently either 0 or 1.

sysctl would try to read/write any path you gave it either on
the command line or configuration file. It would append /proc/sys
on the path but not check for any sneaky path traversal with ../
This commit means it first resolves all paths using realpath(3)
and then checks the path starts with "/proc/sys/"
At first I thought this might be a non-issue, but perhaps someone
could put a file into the sysctl configuration path and.. do
something? Anyway its a 8-line fix and makes things more correct.

The library added smaps_rollup fields in the referenced commit.
This commit exploits the new fields to give pss and uss options.
These options were first proposed back in 2015 by Petr Malat
and, with the library update, they are finally made it into ps.
Why use proportional or unique segment size? It is argued that
these give a better idea of the "real" memory usage of a process.

The pgrep code checks to see if the program is run as pkill or pidwait
and changes its behaviour accordingly. Some older versions of libtool
run the programs as lt-pkill and lt-pidwait which means the tests fail.
We add these two program names to the checks.

If you run slabtop with the -d option and then -o option the
delay gets set to zero and it runs forever. slabtop now checks
for this combination and errors.
Adding a DEJAGNU test also found that none of the slabtop
checks were running so they got added to the list and only the
ones that need /proc/slabinfo (if not readable) are skipped.

What to call the new library?
Keep using libprocps wouldn't do, its a very different library from
the programs' point of view. It would also mean we could have some
clashes around the packages (two package names, same library name).
The ancient procps used libproc or libproc-a.b.c where a.b.c was the
package version. Kept the revision numbers down (it was always 0.0.0)
but the name of the library changed.
So if we use libproc-2 is there a clash with an ancient procps?
procps v 2.0.0 was around in 1999 so it was 22 years ago, also the
name of the library would have been libproc-2.0.0.so not libproc-2.so
so we're fine with that.
libproc-2 seems to fit, our second major re-work of the procps
library.

free, slabtop and uptime would happily take extra command line
arguments and doing nothing about them. The programs now check

For long lines from a process, watch would wrap them around to the
next. While this default option has it uses, sometimes you want to
just cut those long lines down.
watch has a -w flag which will truncate the lines to the number
of columns. A few simple lines to do this new trick.
I think I caught all the ANSI state correctly but there might be
a chance it bleeds to the next row.

The referenced commit the comm length was increased from 16 to 64
characters to handle the larger command names for things like kernel
threads.
However most user processes are limited to 15 characters which means
if you try something like ps -C myprogramisbiggerthansixteen this would
fail to match because /proc/<PID>/comm would only be myprogramisbigg
ps now checks the comm length and if it is 15 and if the given match
is 15 or more, it will only match the first 15 characters.
This is also how killall has worked for about a year.
