Command line and full screen utilities for browsing procfs, a "pseudo" file system dynamically generated by Linux to provide information about the status of entries in its process table.

When utility buffers were introduced for file2str read
requests, a subtle change was inadvertently introduced
such that a read of zero no longer returns a -1 value.
This commit ensures that zero bytes read returns a -1.
And although the solution differs from a merge request
submitted by sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com, a thank you
is offered for revealing this potential abend problem.

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.
