Two too many of these '=' (cooks) spoiled top's broth.
There exists an unintentional variation on the classic
error: off-by-one. When a negation symbol is used with
top's new relational 'other filter' provision, one too
many 'matches' are excluded. This happened because top
covered only 2 of the 3 potential strcmp return codes.
When the strings were equal, they were simply dropped.
So this patch will uninvent that particular variation!

This change represents the extension of user filtering
based on inclusion or exclusion. However where 'U'/'u'
filtering provides an either/or choice, this extension
offers multiple choices applicable to multiple fields.
The 'inclusion' and 'exclusion' criteria can be freely
combined making a powerful tool to fine tune a display
and avoid clutter associated with uninteresting tasks.

While it's only documented (so far) in commit text and
an occasional email I've tried to maintain some coding
standards primarily for reference/navigation purposes.
They also served, I felt, as useful mental challenges.
Someday I will get around to formerly documenting them

. functions are grouped into logical (i hope) sections
. functions & sections are ordered to avoid prototypes
. function names are alphabetical within every section
Thus, given those constraints/objectives, and in order
to prepare for an upcoming Other_Filter feature, a few
things had to be renamed and rearranged. Plus a couple

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
if top is suspended while on the 2nd level help screen
the <Enter> key is no longer honored. Thus, users must
use <Esc> to exit help and return to the main display.
Also, line input that was only partially complete when
suspended would still require one additional keystroke
before the read was aborted and the display refreshed.
Lastly, some user interactions might require two input
lines before an operation can be considered completed.
Thus the 2nd line offers another opportunity for users
to suspend top. Resumption would require an extra key.
These issues stem from 2 recent enhancements: preserve
the user context when signaled; complete input editing
with cursor movement keys, insert/overtype modes, etc.
With this patch, the <Enter> key is once again honored
on help screen #2 and partial reads are now completed.

Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
A scrollback buffer used in several terminal emulators
could be a real inconvenience to a user following some
resize operations. Extra keystroke(s) would frequently
be required in order to properly render top's display.
After much sleuthing we unearthed two terminfo strings
which have the effect of disabling/restoring that darn
scrollback buffer. They were well hidden under a title
of strings 'to start/end programs using cup'. In turn,
'cup' deals with a tty's cursor addressing capability.
We don't care what you call them or what they refer to
so long as they get the job done. And these really do!
Be advised, however, that there are some side effects,
several of which can even be considered as beneficial:
. enter_ca_mode/smcup/ti disables scrollback buffering
( and that's good, it's what we had always hoped for )
. exit_ca_mode/rmcup/te restores the scrollback buffer
( but also restores screen contents existing pre-top )
( which is different from former program end results )
( where that last rendered screen was left untouched )
. the above screen replacement would impact ^Z suspend
( thus we keep the scrollback buffer disabled during )
( the suspend/resume sequence so that the users will )
( have a visual clue that top is suspended not ended )
If a terminal does not support these terminfo strings,
we will revert to top's former behavior at program end
where we position the cursor at screen bottom and then
output a single newline character. This will prevent a
shell prompt from embedding within top's final screen.
This commit's approach has been tested under a variety
of emulators and window managers, many of which linked
with libvte and others that employed their own scheme.
Examples are: gnome_terminal; kde konsole; lxterminal;
terminator; terminology; urxvt; xfce4-terminal; xterm.
I do now believe that the whole SIGWINCH deal is done!

This commit standardizes the usage of several terminfo
strings concerned with cursor position and visibility.
Henceforth we will adopt the following informal rules:
. Cap_home vs. Cap_clr_scr is preferred where possible
. Cap_curs_huge will be used with prompts for line i/p
. Cap_curs_huge will be used with help & color mapping
. Cap_curs_hide will be in effect in any other context
We've also added a missing Cap_clr_scr to the 2nd help
screen whenever the SIGWINCH interrupt was recognized.
This prevents a 'duplicated' row from appearing at the
top of the display (when resizing from small to large)
depending on an emulator's scrollback buffer contents.

No top #define is enabled and that constitutes default
behavior. So whenever a default behavior should change
the define must be changed too if it is to remain off.
This commit simply changes top's default behavior with
respect to allowing/suppressing any potential flood of
SIGWINCH during resize operations, if running under X.
Formerly top would block those signals to reduce costs
of repeated refreshes. That yields a requirement where
the user would have to provide another keystroke for a
final display update. That keystroke may not always be
needed now, but it ultimately depends on some terminal
emulator's scrollback buffer. In any case, the cost of
re-sizing may go up a bit, under most window managers.

After carefully working our way to the point where the
excessive SIGWINCH interrupts are now throttled, along
comes a commit which reverses all those prior efforts.
Actually it doesn't. It simply allows one to choose if
all those efforts should be reversed or remain active.
Why in the world would you even want to consider that?
Quite simply, to opt for responsiveness over overhead.
Oh, and depending on the terminal emulator used for X,
by enabling this OFF_SIGWINCH #define you will be able
to avoid the need for an extra keystroke after resize.
Besides it was an interesting programming challenge to
see just how few lines of code would be needed to make
it possible. Bottom line? Only 1 source line required!

Whew, it was nip-and-tuck there for awhile but finally
we solved the SIGWINCH overload problem one finds with
most X window managers. Now if a window manager should
try to inundate ol' top with repeated SIGWINCH signals
they won't even be received so can't impact us at all.
And we achieve this miracle having never even issued a
sigprocmask, so all the top code executes with signals
totally unblocked. Intuition suggests it probably rubs
even more salt in the wound, but au contraire mon ami!
The key to our success was simply trading the 'select'
call for its cousin 'pselect'. Not only does that call
provide nanosecond granularity (vs. the former's usec)
but it takes a sigset_t parm which can then atomically
block the troublesome SIGWINCH guy until user input or
optional timeout. Net result? No more signal overload!
Now, if only we could just coax all terminal emulators
into one identical standard buffering scheme plus find
some way to emulate the most recent SIGWINCH, it would
be perfect. We would then obviate the user requirement
of typing yet 1 more key before seeing proper results.

Some testing under a new distro revealed what appeared
to be a broken top Inspect request. When the selection
was made, the resulting output was scrambled/scrunched
at the bottom of the screen (as if ^J's were missing).
This anomaly surfaced under Fedora-18 which happens to
use the above ncurses version. The bug was not present
in version 5.9.20120714 (available with openSUSE 12.2)
or the more widely available version of: 5.9.20110404.
It has now been confirmed that this problem originated
in version 5.9.20120825. It was then that buffering of
output was changed from stdio to some internal ncurses
scheme so as to avoid problems with its SIGTSTP logic.
Thanks to a very prompt response from Thomas E. Dickey
we also learned that contrary to the documentation the
putp logic does not call putchar internally. Thus, the
single putchar that Inspect was employing was actually
mixing 2 different buffering schemes: ncurses & stdio.
Thus, from now on we'll use putp() exclusively and try
to achieve single char output as efficiently as we can
while meeting that putp() string argument requirement.

There existed a small chance that the display could be
corrupted when a search string was found within a row.
For that to happen, conditions like these were needed:
. a very short Locate string was active in some window
. the string matched part of a terminfo <esc> sequence
. that sequence was used in highlighting running tasks
. the 'x' toggle was active (sort column highlighting)
One solution to this potential problem was to manually
turn off sort column highlighting before using Locate.
But rather than rely on a user remedy, we'll automate.
Since other top provisions were already being enforced
when Locate was in use (off 'i' and/or 'u'/'U'), we'll
now also force column highlighting off when the search
string in a given window is not empty. However, unlike
idle tasks and user filtering, when that search string
*is* emptied, we restore highlighting for that window.

In a effort to anticipate a potential future wishlist,
the recent '-o' sort override command line switch will
now support an override of the sort direction as well.
By prepending a '+' or '-' to any valid field name the

direction. The '+' forces a high-to-low (normal) order
while a '-' reverses that to yield a low-to-high sort.
Without this addition users would be left to the mercy

The recent change to task area memory scaling was just
a little short of optimum in its consistency and upper
limits. In fact, top could only scale memory fields up
to a maximum of 99.9999 TiB (with VIRT a little more).
While that seems like more than enough it was actually
artificially low, due to an unnecessary decimal place.
So, this commit standardizes both precision and widths
to achieve a minimum amount of scaling beyond the user
requested target plus reclaim some horizontal spacing.
. VIRT & DATA are now 7 bytes wide (not eight and six)
. other memory fields are 6 wide (were formerly seven)
. as before, KiB shows whole numbers only (no decimal)
. MiB, for its precision, shows a single decimal place
. all other memory ranges display three decimal places
The net result is a more homogeneous display with less
forced scaling and the recovery of three lost columns.

It should be noted, however, that the original changes
