After removing brackets from those 'derived' notations
I was surprised to discover that several origin/source
comments were wrong. So this patch fixes those errors.
[ along the way a couple enumerators were renamed to ]
[ better (i hope) reflect what they're representing. ]
[ that, in turn, also required a little rearranging. ]

None of the other four new api headers use brackets on
derived items. With this patch we normalize the fifth.

While experimenting with a new feature, wherein select
fields display the total upon request, the capacity of
the 'num' passed to some 'scale' guys became an issue.
So this commit will, with the compiler's help, put the
responsibility for converting the integer into a float
within the calling code (instead of the called logic).

This small change was a result of some experimentation
trading our current 'hsearch' hash scheme for 'gperf'.
I discovered that when the ':' character was a part of
each 'gperf' key, that generated search logic was more
complicated and thus slower. But without a ':', it was
a little cleaner/leaner and therefore slightly faster.
Assuming that the same trailing ':' *might* affect the
current 'hsearch' logic, to be safe we will remove it.
[ while the 'gperf' version will slightly outperform ]
[ an 'hsearch', too many ugly implementation details ]
[ were exposed which complicates future maintenance. ]
[ thus, we'll retain our current 'hsearch' approach. ]

This patch will condense some logic in those functions
associated with the file input operations. The changes
will not, for the most part, alter any generated code.
More significantly (though not very) was the change to
two 'strtoul' calls. Since the returned 'endptr' value
isn't exploited, when that parm is set to NULL, we can
save one instruction on each side of such calls (wow).

If automake doesn't see a dist_man_MANS then there is no
uninstall-man target. This fix uses the main Makefile

When #define QUICK_THREADS was introduced, for copying
some task data for a child thread, one proc_t pad byte
was used to mark, then later identify, those children.
Later the QUICK_THREADS was recycled as FALSE_THREADS,
and used for a different purpose, but a conditional in
the header file erroneously remained. Now, it is gone!

What to call the new library?
Keep using libprocps wouldn't do, its a very different library from
the programs' point of view. It would also mean we could have some
clashes around the packages (two package names, same library name).
The ancient procps used libproc or libproc-a.b.c where a.b.c was the
package version. Kept the revision numbers down (it was always 0.0.0)
but the name of the library changed.
So if we use libproc-2 is there a clash with an ancient procps?
procps v 2.0.0 was around in 1999 so it was 22 years ago, also the
name of the library would have been libproc-2.0.0.so not libproc-2.so
so we're fine with that.
libproc-2 seems to fit, our second major re-work of the procps
library.

Maybe, the biggest obstacle to successfully exploiting
this new library is after those `stacks' are returned.
Unless a user requests all available `items', there is
always a need to translate an actual enumerator into a
relative position within returned stack(s) of results.
So, this patch attempts to bridge that gap by adding a
brief explanation to the existing discussion in Usage.
[ along the way, 'Usage' & 'Caveats' were refactored ]

Since 'procps_uptime' will access the /proc filesystem
the <pids> 'new' guy should should protect against the
possibility /proc isn't mounted when 'boot_seconds' is
established. A zero is better than the negative value.
[ the only distortion would be to PIDS_TIME_ELAPSED. ]

With the way those 'extents_free_all' guys were coded,
there's no real need to check for a NULL this->extents
before calling 'em. That's how <stat> already does it.

Sometimes the testing sequence would leave a source tree
under procps-ng-(version) which, if update-potfiles was
run, would include these temporary files in the list, causing issues
later.
The script now explicitly ignores those temporary files.
In addition to copyright date, the initial descriptive
line was changed from a generic statement to one which
reflects the specific portion of the proc/ filesystem.
[ such descriptions alternate between 'declarations' ]
[ (h files) & corresponding 'definitions' (c files). ]
Also, a few missing copyright attributions were added.

This commit just ensures that the relatively expensive
ID to name conversions aren't performed unless they're
explicitly requested. It also internalizes those flags
that required the PROC_FILLSTATUS flag to also be set.
[ requiring a caller, in our case pids.c, to provide ]
[ two flags when a single field was the objective is ]
[ wrong & represents a future potential toe-stubber. ]
[ moreover, what's worse is that those two flags are ]
[ seemingly unrelated. but, without both, a SEGV can ]
[ can be expected when a result.str pointer is NULL. ]
[ by contrast, in the master branch those fields are ]
[ arrays which, when set to zeroes, produce an empty ]
[ string. So, there is no abend (but no name either) ]
[ when one of those two required flags were omitted. ]
[ and worth noting, in that branch it's not just one ]
[ caller required to observe a two flag requirement. ]

Library had only its revision incremented to three as there were only

Some of the translation files did not escape the < properly leading
to po4a aborting. Also some translators are using old templates
and this merges them to the new ones.

This commit adapts our man page for a new consolidated
'misc.h' header file. Along the way, some descriptions
were shortened, others lengthened and whitespace added
in an effort to (hopefully) improve readability a bit.

Prior to this patch, we had four separate header files
dealing with miscellaneous functions. Those four files
were documented in the single man page: procps_misc.3.
Now, we will have just a single header file documented
in a single man page (that is what's called symmetry).
[ and while we're at it, we will shorten that overly ]
[ long struct 'procps_namespaces' name to agree with ]
[ the function naming conventions, e.g. 'procps_ns'. ]

The preceding commit made that 'esc_all' function more
efficient by using direct pointer manipulation instead
of an indexed string reference approach within a loop.
This commit applies the same approach to the 'esc_ctl'
function. Now we'll save 12 more iterated instructions
while decreasing the function's code size by 43 bytes.

While this patch has some cosmetic whitespace changes,
more importantly it makes that 'esc_all' function more
efficient. By abandoning the indexed loop approach for
a direct pointer manipulation, we will save 9 iterated
machine instructions, for a total of 33 bytes of code.

The Inspection feature already offered an INSP_SLIDE_1
provision. This patch now offers similar extensions to
variable width column scrolling (assuming SCROLLVAR_NO
isn't defined). Such a provision was useful during the
development of some recent library UTF-8 enhancements.
Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net>
With the restoration of corrupt utf8 multibyte editing
to the library, it's important to establish the proper
locale before calling that 'fatal_proc_unmounted' guy.
He calls the original 'look_up_our_self' who, in turn,
will invoke 'stat2proc' which then calls 'escape_str'.
Once there, it's too late to effect changes to locale.
