Boy I hate locale stuff. For code I thought was pretty
robust, Jaromir sure proved that it wasn't. Anyway, me
thinks this commit closes some gaps and will cause top
to behave appropriately under various locale settings.
It does *not* permit top to respond to the ',' and '.'
floating point separator without regard to the locale.
It does, however, enforce proper LC_NUMERIC responses.
Let's look on this commit as an interim solution until
Jaromir can create that proposed 'fp_decode' function.
Who knows, he might even borrow some of our mkfloat().
[ An aside: the coreutils sleep and timeout programs ]
[ claim to permit floating point arguments. However, ]
[ neither one will accept the comma separator should ]
[ the locale be a country that in fact uses a comma. ]

While the 'b' toggle remains window based (vs. global)
it should no longer require that the window be visible
and either the 'x' or 'y' toggles to be on. Previously
those requirements were intended to remind a user that
there must be something for this command to highlight.
With the introduction of graph modes (specifically the
the bar graph) the 'bold/reverse' toggle has important
implications beyond highlighting some columns or rows.
The %Cpu(s) graph and Mem portion of the memory graphs
are designed to offer a visual clue as to the separate
elements comprising them. But that separation could be
lost under some X color schemes or when top is running
without color (in monochrome mode) and the block graph
is selected. But, if the graph is then changed to bars
any separation always becomes visible whenever the 'b'
toggle is turned off. Portions then show in 'reverse'.
So from now on we'll check nothing, we'll just toggle.
[ Besides, with all the code thrown at restricting a ]
[ 'b' toggle use, it might have all been for naught. ]
[ That toggle could still be set/unset using the 'Z' ]

In anticipation of upcoming memory graphing provisions
the abbreviations 'Mem' and 'Swap' are being made into
individual translatable strings in order to be reused.
Additionally, the Mem 'used' amount will now no longer
included the 'buffers' and 'cached' values. Thus, each
Mem category becomes unique. This is the approach used
by tools such as 'htop' or the gnome 'System Monitor'.
Lastly, with that change to the 'used' category it has

Since its inception top has always used enumerators to
identify displayable fields. They've taken the form of
P_PID, etc. As it turns out, something has changed for
libc6-dev versions beyond 2.17-93 wherein 'P_PID' will
now be exposed via stdlib.h. I have not pinpointed the
exact cause but it may depend on header include order.
This patch just trades top's long standing 'P_' prefix
convention for that of 'EU_' (short for enumerator). I
cannot find *any* header under /usr/include/ currently
utilizing this particular three character combination.
And as a further safeguard top will henceforth include

This commit extends the top Summary Area cpu states to

nodes. It is based upon changes originally proposed by
Lance Shelton who was instrumental in the final patch.
With this change, the user will have new commands that
will provide alternatives to the individual cpu stats:
. '2' toggles between cpu & numa node summary displays
. '3' provides node summary and related cpu statistics
These extensions required some minimal system support.
Typically, the numactl package (and maybe libnuma-dev)
are all that's needed to show a single node which owns
all the processors. Failing that, or for slightly more
variety, top also offers a #define named PRETEND_NUMA.

Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them

. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section

This commit is an unrequested outgrowth of the earlier
change dealing with summary area memory field scaling.
That user selectable scaling provision is now extended
to include 6 (at present) task oriented memory fields.
The new companion 'e' (lower case) interactive command
has been added and, like the 'E' command, it can cycle
each of the currently displayed memory columns between
KiB through TiB. There are, however, some differences.
Where '+' indicates summary area truncation at a given
radix, task memory fields are automatically scaled for
their column. Thus, not all rows use the same scaling.
And, while summary area field widths were not changed,
the task memory columns were widened in order to offer
more meaningful data when the radix was increased. The
precision is automatically increased in step with each
radix: MiB displays 2 decimal places, GiB 3 and TiB 4.
To compliment that additional precision, both the %CPU
and %MEM fields were widened by 1 column and now offer
precision up to 3 decimal places. But, unique to %CPU,
widening could already have occurred due to the number
of processors in some massively parallel boxes. At any
rate, total extra width for both memory and percentage
fields could amount to twenty (precious) columns more.
So for both the memory and % fields the original width
(along with loss of precision) can be restored via new
compiler conditionals which this commit also provides.

Previously top would warn users if an older version of
an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming
that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however,
other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended.
For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had
overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry
was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f')
then top would silently accept it but look no further.
With this commit top will try to process every inspect
entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all
other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to
the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given.

This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability. Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.
It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.
A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display. Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view. And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.
Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.
There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile. And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.
Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data. Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.
The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.
Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries. Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.
Enjoy!

of selecting a process for either has been simplified.

The recent introduction of a column widths override
(the 'X' command) provided for a user input amount
to be added to default field size which ranged from
5 to 10 bytes.
While that approach could prevent truncated data, the
different default sizes would almost certainly mean
some precious screen real estate was waisted.
This commit introduces the concept of dynamic widths
where top will add only enough to a field default to
prevent truncation for that specific field.
Now users have a choice between their explicit width
override or a width chosen by top to exactly match
display needs. The former is immediate but likely
wastes some horizontal space while the latter is
iterative but will be sized precisely.

There are no restrictions on the amount added to
the defaults. The user is free to vastly exceed
screen limits which simply means such fields can

At one time, new top silently defaulted when an rcfile
was found to be incompatible. This is exactly what
the old top did. However, after some discussion it
was decided top should alert the user and thereby
save the system administrator some headaches.
Now, some are upset over the fatal error, proving you
can't please everybody. But in all fairness, given
the difficulty of customizing old top, any reluctance
to delete an old saved rcfile is understandable.
To ease transition to this new top, old style rcfiles
will now be honored and converted to the new format.
And if not disabled at ./configure time via CFLAGS,
a user will be warned when an old style rcfile is
about to be overwritten using the 'W' command.
Lastly, the config validation logic was enhanced to
help ensure both types of rcfile haven't been edited
manually and possibly made unuseable.

The gettext documentation leads one to believe that
a printf type call is necessary for gettext string
extraction. That turns out to be misleading and
all one really needs is the runtime gettext string
address resolution.
Thus, we can avoid our original snprintf/strdup
overhead and establish an address for the original
or translated string just by issuing the _() macro.
We create these nls string tables so that:
1) top avoids the overhead of repeated
runtime function calls
2) we can control the order of top's
strings in the .pot file
3) translator comments don't obscure
and clutter the main program
Until this patch, top had used some strings with
special escape sequences to produce colors, normal
text, bold text, etc. They took the following form,
explained by an excerpt from program comments:
...
Our special formatting consists of:
"some text <_delimiter_> some more text <_delimiter_>...\n"
Where <_delimiter_> is a single byte in the range of:
\001 through \010 (in decimalizee, 1 - 8)
and is used to select an 'attribute' from a capabilities table
which is then applied to the *preceding* substring.
...
Unfortunately, these nonprinting values revealed
insurmountable inconsistencies in both the front-end
and back-end translation tools.
The xgettext (extraction) program would take those
special escapes, convert them and then output raw
binary values. Thus the .pot file would contain
lots of unprintable stuff making it unreadable.
If the following was added to po/Makevars, most of
those special escapes would be preserved in their
escape notation:
XGETTEXT_OPTIONS = ... --escape
But two escapes were converted from octal notation
and there was no way to prevent it:
\007 --> \a
\010 --> \b
After a pass through the msginit program, most of
the escapes were reconverted to raw binary values
making translation impossible. There was no
"--escape" option for the back-end programs like
there was for xgettext.
But the real killer was the escape \004, also used
in some of top's special strings. This value would
be silently accepted by xgettext, only to produce
the following fatal error in back-end programs like
msginit, msgfmt and msgen:
.pot:2647: context separator <EOT> within string
To quote from one of the references below:
"Would you create a suite of tools that silently
allow what is destined to become a fatal error
to pass unnoticed?"
So the bottom line was: top's special strings, in
use for the past nine years, had to be redesigned.
