/* Translation Notes for ps Help #1 ---------------------------------
   .  This next group of lines represents 6 pairs of words + abbreviations
   .  which are the basis of the 'ps' program help text.
   .
   .  The words and abbreviations you provide will alter program behavior.
   .  They will also appear in the help usage summary associated with the
   .  "Notes for ps Help #2" below.
   .
   .  In their English form, help text would look like this:
   .      Try 'ps --help <simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>'
   .       or 'ps --help <s|l|o|t|m|a>'
   .      for additional help text.
   .
   .  When translating these 6 pairs you may choose any appropriate
   .  language equivalents and the only requirement is the abbreviated
   .  representations must be unique.
   .
   .  By default, those abbreviations are single characters.  However,
   .  they are not limited to only one character after translation.
