39df2f0fa3 Added -z command line paramter to pidof which tells pidof to
try to find processes in uninterruptable (D) or zombie (Z) states.
This can cause pidof to hang, but produces a more complete process
list.

f1da344565 Dropped "-f" format flag for pidof command as it
could be used to print information from memory or crash
pidof. Replaced flag with "-d" which allows for a custom
separator to be used between listed PIDs.
Patch supplied by KatolaZ.

4e2ad6a698 Fixed segfault in pidof when the -f (format) flag is used with
crafted format strings.
Avoid printing stack memory when special format string is passed
to -f.
Listed control characters for -f flag in manual page.

483dc777d2 Changed the way the "when" variable is used internally in shutdown.c.
It starts as a NULL pointer, then might get set as a pointer to optarg,
then it might get set to point to an argv parameter, then it might have
a string value copied into it, over-writing the original data. We should
not risk over-writing internal variables which might get used for something
else (it's rude and security risk). Set up "when" as its own buffer
that has data from optargs and/or argv copied into it.

Minor code fixes across multiple source files to avoid buffer
overflows, or uninitialized strings.

1b659c8ebe Applied patch from Daniel Povey which should allow killall5/pidof to
avoid locking up if it encounters stopped or zombie processes
due to broken NFS mount points.
This should allow Debian bug #719273 to be closed.

f1ca96e1c1 Added patch from Walter Harms which allows pidof to run without
displaying output. In this mode pidof simply returns true or false
without displaying PID values.

Updated manual page with new -q (quiet) mode.

Added -h flag for pidof, which was recognized before, but not used.
The -h flag now displays brief usage information for pidof.

e0cfd39728 Added "Fall through" comments to some switch statements where multiple
approaches are tried in order to prevent warnings from GCC 7 (and newer).

Added includes on Linux for sys/sysmacros.h as the old defines in
the sys/types.h file will be removed in the future.

834bcebcaf Use sysconf(_SC_SYMLOOP_MAX) instead of MAXSYMLINKS. If sysconf
returns an error, fall back to MAXSYMLINKS on platforms that
define it.  Fixes build on Hurd.  Patch from Justus Winter and
Debian.
