There is a need in some utilities to have a way of accepting both
types of decimal points "." and ",". The only way seems to be to
rebuild strtod().
This new function will accept "123.456" and "123,456" as 123.456
and considers them the same number. It means we lose thousands
separator, but this is rarely used.
test scripts are added to check the function returns the proper
values. There was simpler predecessor that got stuck on negative
0 or -0.123 which these tests flushed out.

The first part of fixing skill/snice to use the library instead
of directly readdir()ing /proc which is what it does now.
Remove the kill code from the skill/snice code and put common
elements into lib/signals.c Not 100% sure that is the right
destination instead of a new lib file, but ok for now.
kill shares some parsing logic with skill/snice but mainly
around signal specifications. The "do it" code is very different.

Functions related to namespaces were half-in half-out of the
procps library and didn't fit the standard naming scheme.
While struct { long ns[x]} is a bit clunky, its the only way
to "lock in" x. The alternative is to use ns_* variables.
This work was needed before pgrep could be converted.
This commit is the culmination of efforts to modernize
the library api. It should be treated as a first blush
attempt, especially since I have absolutely no library
design experience. But I did have a very strong desire
to lessen the new library's impact on the top program.
Under this new api, a 'stack' is the equivalent of the
old proc_t. It can be seen as a variable length record
whose contents & order is under complete user control.
That initial stack/record configuration is established
at procps_pids_new() time and will probably serve most
program needs. But, a dynamic & demanding program like
top will later change a stack via procps_pids_reset().
For programs like top & ps, procps_pids_reap() will be
the function that will retrieve all tasks and threads.
Any program that needs to filter / select only certain
processes or users have available other functions that
can be used: procps_pids_stacks_alloc, fill & dealloc.
This implementation attempts to maximize that existing
proven libprocps code base. As we gain more experience
such actual code can be migrated into the pids.c file.

procps v3.3.11 will bring Library API 5:0:0
The reason for the change is the removal of some calls and
the addition of others. The newlib branch should hopefully

.version is created in the top_srdir which when building normally
doesn't present a problem. When make distcheck is run, the source
directory is made read-only and it fails with permission denied.
The version of misc/git-version-gen is old and is missing the
instruction to add .version to EXTRA_DIST. This commit does just
that.
make distcheck now passes.

The calls for reading diskstat have been moved out of
sysinfo and into new files diskstat.[ch] These new
library calls follow the standard pattern for the
new libprocps.
vmstat is updated to use the new API and also got
the weighted IO time added.
vmstat -p previously would only show partitions, not
disks. There does not appear to be any good reason to
artifically deny a user to use this command on a disk,
rather than a partition so this restriction was lifted.
I also realised using int for devid means you can send
the library negative numbers, the index uses unsigned int.
Other similiar calls will need to be fixed too.

Procps library previously held functions that were about either
listing or finding signal names. These are not really the right
location for a library about reading procfs.
This patch handles signal related functions in two ways:
For functions purely found in skill, these have been moved back
into this binary as they are used nowhere else.
For functions used across the binaries, these have been moved
into include/signals.h and lib/signals.c. Besides formatting,
these functions are largely the same.
To assist the skill functions, two functions to access the
signal map array have been added to lib/signals.c
Created new set of functions for meminfo related calls. Liked the
format of that better so changed vmstat around so the look similar.
Missed the makefile change for uptime so added it in now.
Use the standard libc declarations.
For protecting the headers for C++ procps used to have its
own defines, this change makes them use the standard libc ones.
getstat() -> procps_stat_*
vminfo() -> procps_vmstat_*
These two components of the library now use the newer version of
the API with less exposed global variables. The old methods are
there for now.

pwdx doesn't actually use any of the libprocps functions but
it is linked because it is the default. This specific LDADD
removes that unrequired linking.
Several Debian based distributions were recently found
to have omitted a kernel configuration option that had
the effect of rendering /proc/#/stat and /proc/#/wchan
useless for providing any 'sleeping in function' info.
That problem also prompted a reevaluation of the whole
approach to wchan matters which had grown increasingly
complex as our library evolved over the last 13 years.
The net result was a decision to rely on /proc/#/wchan
which arrived along with the 2.5 kernel. This then let
us vastly simplify the internal code plus the external
interface which will benefit both the top and ps pgms.

For the test suite, procps used to use sleep which would just
create a process or two to test the tools against. Some setups
coreutils creates all programs including sleep into one blob which
means a lot of the tests fail, see issue #2
procps has its own sleep program now.
Use LDADD or *_LDADD instead of AM_LDFLAGS to refer to libproc.la.
Otherwise, parallel builds will break as there is no explicit dependency
to ensure the library is built before the binaries that try to link to
it.
v2: Added empty rules lib_test_*_LDADD to remove the dependency on
libproc which is not used by the lib/test_* binaries.
Tested by running `make -jNN` repeatedly for different levels of
parallelism to ensure the build works. Also checked that `make check`
and `make distcheck` still work as expected. Also made sure that a
parallel make invocation works with `make -j distcheck`.

The "usrbin_execdir" hack meant to install some binaries in /bin and
others in /usr/bin. However:
- It is very inflexible: not much control on the final directory name
and it is not possible to get rid of the usr/bin suffix without
patching the build system.
- It is hard to use: it requires configure to receive --exec_prefix=/
and other settings do not make much sense. It is not very obvious that
that setting needs to be passed and it takes a while to figure it out.
- It produces garbage with the default setup: the default prefix of
/usr/local ends up installing the binaries under /usr/local/usr/bin
which does not make any sense.
Furthermore, the requirement to split binaries in /bin and /usr/bin is
not that strong since some distributions adopted the /usr merge and so
would agree to just deploy all binaries to /usr/bin directly.
Distributions that would still like to split /bin from /usr/bin should
actually move binaries such as `ps` and `kill` to /bin after the install
of procps-ng is complete. After all, they are the ones responsible for
determining what are the binaries that need to be in the root partition
and that list depends on their early boot init scripts, so it is
possible that the list must be augmented with other binaries from this
package.
Therefore, I propose here to get rid of that hack and simply install all
the binaries to bindir instead, which solves the problems described
above and simplifies the build and install of procps-ng.
Tested that it builds and both `make check` and `make distcheck` work.
Tested that `make install` works and produces the expected tree, the
only difference being the absence of the bogus /usr/local/usr/bin
directory and now all binaries are merged into /usr/local/bin as
expected.

This is cleaner and we need to match paths exactly when we enable the

The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to
Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no
need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both
the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed.
My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double
iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved
each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't
look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked
up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or
man-po/ps
The README describes the three-step process for translating
the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.
The pot files for man-po are part of the extra_dist target so are
built at dist time. These used to be created as part of the dist-hook.
However it is better to control their builds in the Makefile so they
are conditionally built. It also means distcheck doesn't complain when
they are added to the CLEANFILES.
distcheck failed because the man-po scripts weren't sourcing or
escaping the directories correctly.
This is a partial fix, but at least distcheck is happy.
The get-trans target rsyncs the latest copies of translation files
from the translation project. I put this target in because I always
forget the exact syntax of the command.

As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
In the same fashion of pgrep, introduce two new options:
--ns <pid>
- nslist <ns,...>
which allows processes to be filtered by namespace.

A PID should be specified with --ns:
$ pgrep --ns 12345
which will only match the processes which belong to to the same 6
namespaces. It is also possible to specify which namespaces to test:
$ pgrep --ns 12345 --nslist mnt,net,ipc
which will match processes that belong to the same mount, network and
IPC namespaces as PID 12345.

Two problems.
1) skill/snice : distribution doesnt mean install
If you don't set your configure flags right, you dont install the
skill/snice man pages which means you will break any subsequent compiles
with the flags enabled. Man pages not to be installed should still be
distributed.
2) The git version into Makefile.am breaks under certain conditions.
The easy break for this is:
touch aclocal.m4
make
We need this script added plus some dist hook magic that got left out.

Makes Debian patch makefile_watch_ncurses redundant.
watch was being linked to NCURSES_LIBS when it should of been
WATCH_NCURSES_LIBS which can be ncursesw with 8bit enabled.
The handling of the -c (count) option in free uses the standard string

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.
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.

positive integers, which includes zero as is is not positive (or

tar ball release which compiles correctly, and has files which

The patch removes few unnecessary files, but no everything. Files
procps.lsm and procps.spec in git repository are useless as is,
but I left them lying around for someone who can make more
justified call about removal of them.
