The man page said it cannot show changes to comm, such as when you
use prctl(). In fact, ps can see this. The args field may not change
because its due to the path of the executable but comm can.
The field comm no longer shows defunct for zombie processes, use the
state field for this as it could be obscured if not the last
column anyhow.

Makefile now auto-matically generates the list of man pages as they are
in a single directory. There were some missing!
pot file target is dependent on the untranslated man pages
When downloading from translation project, run po4a to sync the new

Downloaded man po files from translation project and synched.

Discovered this while trying to port programs that use the deleted
libprocps function look_up_our_self() which can be found with the
fatal_proc_unmounted() function.
While procps_pids_new() will allow you to specify any items you
care to think of, a subsequent call to fatal_proc_unmounted()
will only fill in the values found in /proc/self/stat.
Added a caveat to the procps_pids manpage pointing out this
limitation.

If procps is built on a Linux 5.3+ system then pidwait
is built with pidfd_open(). If that program is run on
a system < 5.3 then it gives an odd generic error.
If we get a ENOSYS from one pid, we will get it for all
the others so its better to explain what happens and terminate.
The man page is updated to note this issue.
This came up due to killall in psmisc using pidfd_send_signal

A library should generally return an error value, rather than
printing to stderr a message. procps_loadavg() had a few things
to change:
It had a global buffer, but we don't call this function over and
over except in tload. It also did had two macros where a plain
fopen() would do the job nicely.
This removed the macro FILE_TO_BUF which was used everywhere in oldlib
but only for loadavg in newlib.
This library change will set us up to fix tload.
When /proc is mounted with subset=pid free just gives the
standard cannot create meminfo structure without any hint why.
free now checks the return value and if it is -ENOENT then it
gives more information about the problem.

pkg-config is used to find various libraries used by procps.
Unfortunately it, or rather automake, give terrible misleading
error messages if pkg-config is not installed.
At ./configure time you get this:
configure: error: ncurses support missing/incomplete (for partial
build use --without-ncurses)
At automake time you get this:
configure.ac:33: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:48: error: possibly undefined macro: AS_IF
configure.ac:113: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
The internet is filled with such wonderful other examples.
This commit does two things:
At autoconf time, check PKG_PREREQ macro is defined which is found in
pkg.m4 and tells us pkg-config has its macros available.
At configure time, check the result of the pkg-config test and error
if it didn't find it.
Now it actually says its missing pkg-config. To be fair, the autoconf
check is "documented" and recommended in pkg.m4 file.

The existing build system would only require wide ncurses for
a wide watch and even if the library was there would not link
anything else to it.
The first issue which #123 made me think of, is if ncursesw
was there and ncurses is not, why not use ncursesw?
A more major issue is if programs such as slabtop are linked
to ncurses, then certain languages will display their text
wrong, as found in #237.
The days of assuming ASCII only is ok are over the build system
now does the following:
1. If ncursesw is available use this for all relevant programs
2. If ncursesw is not but ncurses is, use this instead
3. If you enable 8bit watch and either disable ncurses or
we cannot find ncursesw error at configure time.
In related news, I hate M4sh.

I'm not sure why you would roll your own macros for major and minor
while the standard includes have these defined. Using our versions
causes two problems:
- Some systems don't use this format for their minor/major
- If the kernel proc interface becomes a 64-bit number, like
dev_t is in the library, then our macro will need to be changed.
autoconf already had the check and as a bonus for anyone that
puts these definitions in sys/mkdev.h it handles that too.
So this is now the standard way of getting a minor/major number out of a
device id. Examining bits/sysmacros.h showed that their defines are
close to what devname.c had, except it can handle 64-bit numbers.

When the globbing update was put into sysctl, you could no longer
simply use the keys because one key could potentially be
multiple paths once the glob expansion occured. Using the path
instead gave a unique output.
Except certain programs, such as salt, expected the output to use
the dotted path "kernel.hostname" and not "kernel/hostname".
We can no longer use the original key, so now for each path:
Copy the path
strip off /proc/
convert all / to .
The sysctl testsuite was also updated to check for a few different
types of conversion failures.

For some unknown reason, make check doesn't depend on either
the check programs or the actual programs under test. This means
if you try to run make check right off the bat from a clean git
repositorty, it will fail as it won't be able to run the unbuilt
binaries.
I'm not sure why this is needed, but if the dist_man_MANS
variable is not copied from the top-level Makefile down to the
man-po one then make dist from a clean archive will not work.
I'm sure someone with better automake magic than me can make
this more elegant but for now it works if a little ugly.

The previous commit used the value from mbstowcs() to work out
the spacing required, as printf() got it completely wrong.
However, for alignment of text you don't use the string length
but the string width.
As the referenced website says:
Use wcslen when allocating memory for wide characters, and use wcswidth to
align text.
Which is what free does now. Chinese is still off by one but I cannot
see why this is so. It's close enough for now. If someone can work
it out, I'd love to know what the fix is.
As a side effect, #213 is fixed because we are putting the correct
number of spaces in.
French is still an issue (see #24 ) but this is because the string is
too long!

Signed-off-by: Craig Small <csmall@dropbear.xyz>
free has for many years had a problem with translated header columns
or the first column. This is because printf("-9s", str) doesn't use
the wide length of the string but the char length meaning they are
mis-aligned.
Using the mbstowcs() function to get the wide length and then
a precision parameter to append the right number of spaces after the
number means we get what we need.
