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. (now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one) (everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck) Reference(s); http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/top-enhancements-i-hope,1 Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net> |

COMPATIBILITY
This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and
hopefully all future kernels.
INSTALLATION
If you are using git version of the project you need extra step.
./autogen.sh
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
