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. I'm convinced it offers unimagined future flexibility! (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/top-over-the-top,22 http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/top-over-the-top,8 Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>

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.
