Many of our item enumerator identifiers are very long,
especially in that <VMSTAT> module. Additionally, they
all contain the exact same universal 'PROCPS_' prefix.
The origins for this are likely found in the desire to
avoid name clashes with other potential include files.
But with procps-ng newlib, we've probably gone way too
far. Did 'PROCPS_PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' actually offer more
protection against clash than 'PIDS_TICS_SYSTEM' does?
I don't think so. Besides, no matter how big that name
becomes, one can never guarantee they'll never be some
clash. And, conversely, extremely short names will not
always create conflict. Of course, in either case when
some clash occurs, one can always #undef that problem.
Thus, this commit will eliminate that 'PROCPS_' prefix
making all of those enum identifiers a little shorter.
And, we'll still be well above some ridiculously short
(criminally short) names found in some common headers:
- - - - - - - - - - <term.h>
- 'tab', 'TTY', etc
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <search.h>
- 'ENTER', ENTRY', 'FIND', etc
------------------------------------------------------
Finally, with this as a last of the wholesale changes,
we will have established the naming conventions below:
. only functions will begin with that 'procps_' prefix
. exposed structures begin with the module/header name
. item enumerators begin like structs, but capitalized
. other enumerators work exactly like item enumerators
. macros and constants begin just like the enumerators
