015e95dec3 top: remove undocumented alias ('V') for version ('v')
This is doubtless not quite the solution envisioned by
the submitter, but 'V' should probably never have been
used as an alias for 'v' now that we have forest-view.

c1f10d11bc Allow core file generation by ps command (rhbz#871825, rhbz#512857)
Since the ps command handles signals with it's own handler, it doesn't create
core files when something wrong happens. The attached patch restores the ps
command ability to create core files by calling the default handler once we
print our custom message. The original RH's workaround masked SIGABRT and
SIGSEGV signals and that would conflict with the original intention of the
custom signal handler and also with the filtering patch I sent in my previous
email. Moreover, this solution generates core for all relevant signals (SIGFPE,
etc.).

eeafd6cfe0 top: highlight all regular search string(s) when found
With the recent inspect search highlight provisions in
place, the lack of highlighting in task based searches
has grown from being only irritating to a real defect.

Thus, this commit introduces parallel functionality to
those searches initiated within a visible task window.
And just as separate inspect searches are possible for
each selection, per window task searches are provided.

However, it should be noted that there are differences
between task based searches and inspect type searches:

* There is no concept of out-of-view data when dealing
. with task rows -- if the data can't bee seen, it has
. not, in fact, been constructed from a proc_t struct.

* While inspect data is output at the character level,
. up to now all task display data was only potentially
. output and it was always based on a complete string.

* With task search highlighting, rows now containing a
. match must be output in pieces and, therefore, can't
. be optimized away like other rows which haven't been
. been altered. This is because top cannot predict the
. the contents of a search string or, how many matches
. might occur in a given row. Short search strings and
. many matches would raise buffer needs geometrically.

(now that we know a '.' + 2 spaces is squeezed to one)
(everything's perfectly justified, but it's just luck)

5a0614e452 top: provide inspect selections with separate searches
This commit extends Inspect provisions for 'find/next'
to each individual selection. Thus a user can maintain
multiple active searches without having to reissue the
locate command whenever the current selection changes.

To emphasize this feature the View screen now displays
the current active locate string or 'N/A' if inactive.
Such a reminder is important when no found matches are
present on the 1st display page, given that they would
otherwise be apparent via the additional highlighting.

5ff464bdb1 top: highlight all inspect search string(s) when found
We have modeled the Inspect search provisions on those
provided by the 'less' pager. With this commit we take
the next step and provide for highlighting any strings
matched (and in view). Of course, top will continue to
adjust the beginning column so as to bring out-of-view
matches into view, while highlighting visible matches.

However, top won't emulate every 'less' behavior since
the following are seen as flaws in the user interface.

* when viewing true binary data, less makes no attempt
. to smooth the right margin by truncating unprintable
. symbols, thus creatng ragged unappealing right edges

* when viewing true binary data, less will always fail
. search requests regardless of surrounding characters

* less refuses to bring out-of-view found matches into
. view by adjusting the left-most column, if necessary

8292f7b8ec top: generalize handling of questionable rcfile issues
Previously top would warn users if an older version of
an rcfile was about to be overwritten. That's assuming
that RCFILE_NOERR was not defined. This left, however,
other potential rcfile issues or questions unattended.

For example, if a faulty 'inspect' redirected echo had
overwritten all window entries or if the inspect entry
was not 'pipe' or 'file' (actually, just a 'p' or 'f')
then top would silently accept it but look no further.

With this commit top will try to process every inspect
entry, while preserving unrecognized entries. Plus all
other non-fatal rcfile errors will now alert a user to
the potential overwrite when the 'W' command is given.

3e7a70396c top: give inspect search algorithm a significant boost
The Inspect find algorithm has always been challenging
given the possibility that 'rows' might contain binary
data. Be that as it may, two small changes have proven
to dramatically improve the performance of such scans.

The first involves the case wherein if no match on the
'substring' portion of a row was found, then a pointer
representing the substring was increased by the length
of the search string, not the better/longer substring.
Thus, portions of the substring were always rescanned!

The second performance boost was achieved in this way:
pre-scanning each raw row for just the first character
in the search string now determines if a full match is
even possible. Therefore, repeated unproductive strstr
calls on individual substrings within that row will be
avoided. In a nutshell, 1 'if' with '}' did the trick!

2db582e31e top: give inspect display page algorithm a small boost
This commit improves display performance when the user
has scrolled horizontally past the end of a top 'row'.

We can avoid the need to memset our buffer with spaces
and putp those spaces individually by exploiting logic
that already exists. If one '\n' character is inserted
into the buffer instead, the next terminfo string sent
will be Cap_clr_eol achieving exactly the same effect!

081fe506f3 top: add a flexible 'Inspect' capability
This commit introduces an extremely powerful, flexible
brand new capability.  Now, users can pause the normal
iterative display and inspect the contents of any file
or output from any script, command, or even pipelines.

It's invoked via the 'Y' interactive command which, in
turn, is supported with simple user supplied additions
as new entries in the top personal configuration file.

A separate new 'Inspect' window supports scrolling and
searching, similar to the main top display.  Except it
extends existing 'L'/'&' (locate/locate-next) commands
so that an out-of-view match automatically adjusts the
horizontal position bringing such data into view.  And
it provides for multiple successive same line matches.

Also, the basic 'more/less' navigation keys are active
in this new 'Inspect' window, to ease user transition.

There are no program changes required when entries are
added to or deleted from the rcfile.  And there are no
known limits to the complexity of a script, command or
pipeline, other than the unidirectional nature imposed
by the 'popen' function call which top cannot violate.

Since it's impossible to predict exactly what contents
will be generated, top treats all output as raw binary
data.  Any control characters display in '^C' notation
while all other unprintable characters show as '<AB>'.

The biggest problem encountered was with the find/next
capability since that strstr guy was really diminished
given the possibility that numerous 'strings' could be
encountered *within* many of top's raw, binary 'rows'.

Oh, and another problem was in maintaining the perfect
left & right text justification of this commit message
along with all of the commit summaries.  Some of those
summaries (like this very one) are of course, slightly
shorter, to make room for the 'man document' addition.

Enjoy!

As an aid to the above 2 commands, and as a prelude to
an upcoming 'inspect other output' capability, the act
of selecting a process for either has been simplified.

Positioning a task as the first one displayed, via the
up/down arrow keys, will now establish it as a default
selection for the appropriate command.  Thus, that pid
will then be incorporated in a subsequent input prompt.
