When 'newlib' was introduced, in the commit referenced
below, the use of that glibc '__BEGIN_DECLS' macro was
standardized. However, as issue #88 revealed, this may
result in a fatal build error with other environments.
So, this patch just trades that macro for the standard
'#ifdef __cplusplus' conventions (thus avoiding use of
all those '#include <features.h>' directives as well).

This patch simply eliminates that glibc specific macro
from all header files which contain no public callable
functions. After all, if user code can't link to them,
then protection from C++ name mangling is unnecessary.

Now that the procio logic was removed from the library
we must move the header file, lest we break make dist.

By default pgrep/pkill should not kill processes in a namespace it is not
part of. If this is allowed, it allows callers to break namespaces they did
not expect to affect, requiring rewrite of all callers to fix.
So by default, we should work in the current namespace. If --ns 0 is
specified, they we look at all namespaces, and if any other pid is specified
we continue to look in only that namespace.

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.

I frequency use pidof command with strace system call tracer.
strace can trace MULTIPLE processes specified with "-p $PID"
arguments like:
strace -p 1 -p 1030 -p 3043
Sometimes I want to do as following
strace -p $(pidof httpd)
However, above command line doesn't work because -p option
is needed for specifying a pid. pidof uses a whitespace as
a separator. For passing the output to strace, the separator
should be replaced with ' -p '.
This maybe not a special to my use case.
This commit introduces -S option that allows a user to specify a
separator the one wants.

The procio functions that were in the library have been
moved into sysctl. sysctl is not linked to libprocps in
newlib and none of the other procps binaries would need
to read/write large data to the procfs.

As it turns out, that Ukrainian 'demo' text supporting
the '=' command was 152 bytes long, up from an English
version of 80 bytes. Unfortunately, the buffer used to
format all such strings was insufficient at 128 bytes.
Depending on the width of one's terminal, some strange
result could be experienced when a multi-byte sequence
was truncated. So, this just makes that buffer bigger.

After wrestling with extra wide characters, supporting
languages like zh_CN, sometimes default/minimum column
widths might force a truncation of translated headers.
So, this commit explores one way that such truncations
could be avoided. It is designed so as to have minimal
impact on existing code, ultimately affecting just one
function. But it's off by default via its own #define.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
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.

Back when top was refactored to support UTF-8 encoding
it was acknowledged that languages like zh_CN were not
supported. That was because a single 'character' might
require more than a single 'column' when it's printed.
Well I've now figured out how to accommodate languages
like that. My adaptation is represented in this patch.
[ and just in case someone wishes to avoid the extra ]
[ runtime costs, a #define OFF_XTRAWIDE is included. ]
Along the way, I've cleaned up some miscellaneous code
supporting the 'Inspect' feature so that the rightmost
screen column was always used rather than being blank.

When the new approach for startup defaults was adopted
in the reference below, a file might be left open that
technically should be closed. This situation arises in
the unlikely event the #define RCFILE_NOERR is active.
Without that #define, the program will exit early thus
rendering the open file issue moot. However, even with
that #define there was no real harm with an open file.
It simply meant a 2nd FILE struct would have been used
when, or if, the rcfile was written via a 'W' command.
Anyway, this patch ensures such a file will be closed.

commit 58ae084c27
Added note into sysctl.8 manpage about directory precedence.
This information may be important for users who create new config files at several destinations. Especially the information about files to be omitted in directories with lower priority shall be given.
Since the value of number_of_signals is known at compile time, we can
use a compile-time check instead. This also adds SIGLOST for the Hurd,
uses the correct signal counts for the Hurd and FreeBSD, and only gives
a compile-time warning when compiled on an unknown platform that it does
not know whether the number of signals is correct.

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 ]
[ other windows (alt display mode) aren't overlooked ]

With the library having now normalized errno handling,
perhaps it is time at least one program took advantage
of it. So, instead of printing just a message with the
programs's line number, top will now also provide that
associated errno string text, compliments of strerror.

[ use errno directly in strerror. for the ones which ]
[ yield an int, all we need do is invert such return ]
