free, slabtop and uptime would happily take extra command line
arguments and doing nothing about them. The programs now check
optind after option processing and will give you usage screen
if there is anything extra.

There was a time when that procps.h file served a more
traditional role. Prior to the commit referenced below
it held just macros plus manifest constants. But, with
that change, such items were replaced with a series of
includes embracing all the library exported functions.
That approach was known to disguise errors which would
have otherwise yielded a compiler warning. And without
such a warning, there was no way to address the error.
So this patch will trade the all inclusive header file
approach for individual includes only where necessary.

The includes used to define a lot of things a library include
should not. It was also a bit messy what was exposed in the library
and what was not.
get_pid_digits -> procps_pid_length and exported correctly
MALLOC attribute move into relevant .c files
NORETURN attribute moved to relevant .c, not used in library
PURE attribute removed, it wasn't used
KLONG/KLF/STRTOUKL were fixed for long, so now just use long
HIDDEN attribute removed. It was for 3 functions. The PROCPS_EXPORT
seems to do the same (opposite) thing.
likely/unlikely removed from most places, its highly debateable
this does anything useful as CPUs have gotten smarter about branches.
Re-arranged the includes, ALL external programs should just #include
<proc/procps.h> then proc/procps.h includes headers for files that
have exported functions. procps.h and the headers it includes should
not use items that are not exportable (e.g. hidden functions or
macros) they go in procps-private.h
Removed the printf_uptime, binaries can do printf easily enough.
sprint_uptime split into two as there wasn't a lot of common
code
sprint_uptime(): old style uptime line
sprint_uptime_short(): short new style "uptime -p"
Hertz_hack needed this, no sane system uses the code (I think)
so just assume 100 like we do in FreeBSD.
For portabiliy, check for program_invocation_name during configure and
define HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME accordingly. Use of this symbol is
now enclosed with the appropriate #ifdef block.
The symbol program_invocation_name is only used for error message
handling using error(), so it's safe to omit this if it is not
available.
If stream status is not checked at the end of execution below problem
would not report error, or non-zero exit code. The uptime is just an
example same was true with all commands of the project.
$ uptime >&- ; echo $?
uptime: write error: Bad file descriptor
1
$ uptime >/dev/full ; echo $?
uptime: write error: No space left on device

This patch adds the -p option to the uptime(1) command, which changes
the uptime displayed from something like:
10:35:52 up 2:33, 1 user, load average: 1.69, 1.65, 1.63
to:
up 2 hours, 33 minutes
I originally implemented this as the up(1) program about 14 years ago.
In 2008 or 2009, I created a patch for procps to add this functionality
to uptime and submitted it to the project. Never heard from the
project and no new releases of procps had been made. Then I found out
about this project and decided to port my patch to it. So here it is.
This is really just for fun. There is no real technical reason to
have this functionality. But even now, 14 years later, I still get
emails asking where the source code for up is. So I thought it would
be nice for the uptime command on Linux to sport the up functionality
by default.
err and warn are BSD format but they are not recommended by library
developers. However their consiseness is useful!
The solution is to use some macros that create xerr etc which then
just map to the error() function. The next problem is error() uses
program_invocation_name so we set this to program_invovation_short_name
This is a global set but seems to be the convention (or at least errors
are on the short name only) used everywhere else.
Add the following three functions to most of the commands.
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
bindtextdomain(PACKAGE, LOCALEDIR);
textdomain(PACKAGE);
