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.

It seems command -v also includes built-ins so checking for kill is useless because it finds the built-in and those machines or environments that have no /bin/kill fail at the check stage. Oh and then TCL exec doesn't spawn a shell. After reading way too many TCL websites, I believe this should fix the problem. TCL quoting is... different to say the least but it works reliably here. The script now even picked up a typo elsewhere which was nice. This change should stop the intermittent FTBFS bugs from the Debian pbuilders, I hope! You'd think kill $var wouldn't be this difficult. |

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.
TRANSLATING MAN PAGES
There is a three-step process for translating man pages. Most
of the work happens in the man-po directory.
make -C man-po translate-templates
Creates the translation templates (the .pot files) for translators
to use as a base. These, along with the tar file, should be sent
to the tp-coorindator before release.
make get-trans
rsyncs the latest translated (.po) files for both the programs and
man pages.
make -C man-po translate-mans
This is also called in the dist-hook and is where the translation
magic happens. Take the original man page, the relevant .po file
and produce a translated man page in that language.
All of the man pages generated are found in
man-po/(LANG)/man(SECTION)/
