docs: update 'first cut' procps.3 with revised version This represents the 'second cut' at providing a shared man page that supports more than one newlib interface. In this approach, the following assumptions were made: 1) It is the kernel folks' job to document /proc files not to mention fields within those files. And since we don't yet know what some of those fields represent, we shouldn't attempt to document any of those we do know. 2) Our header files serve as an essential reference in successful exploitation of the new library interfaces. 3) The description represents functions as they appear in the header itself making them immediately familiar. 4) Some inconsistencies among the interfaces have been handled more visually rather than in a narrative form. 5) Armed with our header file users can easily see the self-documenting enumerators & structures. There isn't a need to explain them yet again in this man document. 6) Contrary to man guidelines, we shouldn't list error codes. Simple generic guidance serves everyone better.

For example, `procps_new' would actually be `procps_\fBmeminfo\fR_new'

2020-06-20 10:30:00 +05:30
.SS Overview
Central to these interfaces is a simple `result'
structure reflecting an `item' plus its value (in a union
with standard C language types as members).
All `result' structures are automatically allocated and
provided by the library.
By specifying an array of `items', these structures can be
organized as a `stack', potentially yielding many results
with a single function call.
Thus, a `stack' can be viewed as a variable length record
whose content and order is determined solely by the user.
As part of each interface there are two unique items.
The `noop' and `extra' items exist to hold user values.
They are never set by the library, but the `extra'
result will be zeroed with each library interaction.
The \fBnamed_interface\fR header file will be an essential
document during user program development.
There you will find available items, their return type
(the `result' struct member name) and the source for such values.
Additional enumerators and structures are also documented there.
.SS Usage
The following would be a typical sequence of calls to
these interfaces.
.nf
.RB "1. " procps_new()
.RB "2. " procps_get() ", " procps_select() " or " procps_reap()
.RB "3. " procps_unref()
.fi
Optionally, a user may choose to sort results returned from
a \fBreap\fR function call.
.SS Caveats
The \fBnew\fR, \fBref\fR, \fBunref\fR, \fBget\fR and \fBselect\fR
functions are available in all five interfaces.
For the \fBnew\fR and \fBunref\fR functions, the address of an \fIinfo\fR
struct pointer must be supplied.
With \fBnew\fR it must have been initialized to NULL.
With \fBunref\fR it will be reset to NULL if the reference count reaches zero.
In the case of the \fBdiskstats\fR interface, a \fIname\fR parameter
on the \fBget\fR and \fBselect\fR functions identifies a disk or
partition name
The \fBdiskstats\fR, \fBslabinfo\fR and \fBstat\fR interfaces support
unpredictable variable outcomes.
As such, they export a \fBreap\fR function to retrieve multiple `stacks'
with a single invocation.
Those same interfaces also offer a \fBsort\fR function whose
parameters \fIstacks\fR and \fInumstacked\fR would normally be those
returned in the `reaped' structure.

.SS Functions Returning an `int'
An error will be indicated by a negative number that
is always the inverse of some well known errno.h value.
Success is indicated by a zero return value.
However, the \fBref\fR and \fBunref\fR functions return
the current \fIinfo\fR structure reference count.
.SS Functions Returning an `address'
An error will be indicated by a NULL return pointer
with the reason found in the formal errno value.
Success is indicated by a pointer to the named structure.
.SH DEBUGGING
To aid in program development, there is a provision that can
help ensure `result' member references agree with library
expectations.
This feature can be activated through either of the following
methods and any discrepancies will be wrtten to \fBstderr\fR.
.IP 1) 3
Add CFLAGS='-DXTRA_PROCPS_DEBUG' to any other ./configure
options employed.
.IP 2) 3
Add #include <procps/xtra-procps-debug.h> to any program
\fIafter\fR the named interface includes.

This verification feature incurs substantial overhead.
Therefore, it is important that it \fInot\fR be activated
for a production/release build.
doc: First cut at new combined API doc Instead of repeating the same thing for each info type, use one huge man page. Needs more work but lets see how it looks for now.

docs: update 'first cut' procps.3 with revised version This represents the 'second cut' at providing a shared man page that supports more than one newlib interface. In this approach, the following assumptions were made: 1) It is the kernel folks' job to document /proc files not to mention fields within those files. And since we don't yet know what some of those fields represent, we shouldn't attempt to document any of those we do know. 2) Our header files serve as an essential reference in successful exploitation of the new library interfaces. 3) The description represents functions as they appear in the header itself making them immediately familiar. 4) Some inconsistencies among the interfaces have been handled more visually rather than in a narrative form. 5) Armed with our header file users can easily see the self-documenting enumerators & structures. There isn't a need to explain them yet again in this man document. 6) Contrary to man guidelines, we shouldn't list error codes. Simple generic guidance serves everyone better.
