For over a decade top has used a startup configuration
mimicking the original redhat top. This decision dates
back to when the forked Sourceforge version was trying
to win over users in battles with that ancient kludge.
Will anybody deny that those defaults are coyote ugly?
Well, it is time that top presented a more modern look
at startup, providing that no saved rcfile exists. But
just in case some distro prefers that old, comfortable
look, there's the '--disable-modern-top' build option.
[ Pssst. With the widened memory fields it turns out ]
[ the 'Mem' default window had become almost useless ]
[ on an 80x24 terminal since %CPU & COMMAND were out ]
[ of view. So some other defaults were tweaked a bit ]
[ whether or not --disable-modern-top was specified. ]

The translated manpage generation has moved from scripts to
Makefiles. This asists with conditional building as well, no
need to regenerate the German pgrep man page if both
the original pgrep.1 and man-po/de.po is not changed.
My Makefile-fu fails me on producing a cross-product or double
iteration for languages and man pages. Until that is solved
each man page is explicitly built. No big deal but it doesn't
look elegant in the Makefile. Languages will be picked
up automatically if they are found in man-po, man-po/top or
man-po/ps
The README describes the three-step process for translating
the files, incase I forget or someone else wants to update them.
Library systemd-login offers possibility to display
name of a systemd slice unit for specific pid.
This patch adds output option "slice" which will
show name of systemd slice unit.
To maintain compatibility with non-systemd systems,
procps must be configured with --with-systemd option
to enable this option.
As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools
need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be
the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool.
This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof
that satisfies the LSB requirements.
In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former
one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.
The automake AM_SILENT_RULES macro is supported since automake 1.11
(which is required for procps). The silent functionality is enabled by
default, you can change it by:
./configure --disable-silent-rules
or
make V=1
Note that make still prints compiler errors, etc.

Previously the libselinux support was present
in the sources, but disabled with a preprocessor
condition (#if 0).
From now the libselinux support can be enabled with
the --enable-libselinux switch available
in the configuration script. That way is more
flexible than local patches modifying the condition
value from 0 to 1.
When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the memory field widths were widened
slightly so unscaled KiB values could be provided more
consistently and scaled values (beyond MiB) could show
3 decimal places of precision. However, some users may
prefer the former widths/precisions for memory fields.
This commit will provide a build time configure option
to return top to those former defaults as a compliment
to a new %CPU & %MEM field precision configure option.

When summary & task area memory scaling was introduced
in release 3.3.6, the percentage columns were expanded
to provide 3 decimal places of precision. In hindsight
that may have been overkill, making those columns more
of a distraction than useful, with just too much info.
This patch will revert those columns to the former one
decimal place. And as was true, that decimal point may
be sacrificed depending on the number of cpus present.
And, in case anyone might prefer additional precision,
a build option can provide it (--enable-wide-percent).

Been a while since we ran a re-scan over the autotools files. This
change modernises the configure file. Not a great deal of changes
required to bring us up to date, autoscan doesn't understand our
optional things, which is fine.
Oh that poor ol' build system. With this patch it will
have gone through three separate incarnations in terms
of NUMA/Node support. Those 3 iterations consisted of:
1. A 'porridge too hot' where the top numa support was
enabled if it was built in the presence of libnuma and
the numa.h header. But if the numa library wasn't part
of core packages, that would have broken poor old top.
2. A 'porridge too cold' where numa support was off by
default and must have been explicitly enabled when the
./configure script was run. This could have meant that
distros might not distribute a numa-aware procps, even
though their numa library would have been distributed.
3. And this 'porridge' where the top numa support will
become a 'plug-in' feature activated when the presence
of libnuma.so can be verified at runtime. We'll do our
own loading and symbol resolution (with some help from
dlopen in libdl). Thus maintainers' responsibility for
enabling numa support and then satisfying that library
dependency is now an entirely optional --disable-numa.
As Goldilocks might say about our current configure.ac
"Ummm, I think this porridge tastes just about right".

For portability, check for error.h during configure and define
HAVE_ERROR_H accordingly.
If this header is not available, emulate the functionality of error()
from glibc with an inline wrapper in include/c.h.
For portability, check for stdio_ext.h during configure and define
HAVE_STDIO_EXT_H accordingly.
If the current system does not provide this header, use a fallback for
__fpending(). This definition will not work on all systems as it relies
on internal data structures of libc. A more portable solution should be
preferred, for example by using gnulib.
For portabiliy, check for program_invocation_name during configure and
define HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME accordingly. Use of this symbol is
now enclosed with the appropriate #ifdef block.
The symbol program_invocation_name is only used for error message
handling using error(), so it's safe to omit this if it is not
available.
Fixes the following error in configure stage.

The library used to be called libprocps but it was renamed to make sure
there was only one. However the formatting of the library SONAME has
changed so there cannot be any confusion.
libprocps makes it clear that its a library from this project and not a
set of functions directly on the filesystem.
The patch also removes fixed size of input, which can be problematic.

. 1 program uses curses (top)
. 2 programs use ncurses (slabtop, watch)
. all 3 include non-wide <curses.h> or <ncurses.h>
. those 3 do not currently need wide support
. but anticipating nls, we link against libncursesw
This patch ensures an environment consistent with current
