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 but in the meantime here are the ones for this commit: . 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 of other (unrelated) tweaks were made for consistency. (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): commit 270e8e7eeb66b47569940f537cdad4ab46cd36be http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/PATCH-12-top-restore-terminal-state-on-exit,4 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.
