It's possible for the first entry that this reads from /proc/*/smaps to
start with a map_desc-less line like this:
7fa71b77d000-7fa71c288000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
in which case sscanf will only read up to inode, and it won't set c; the
code below would then incorrectly discard the next ("Size:") line.
(With GCC 4.9.0, this bug causes the "pmap extra extended output" test
to fail for me.)

This patch will cure a potential aberration associated
with a terminal's size (SIGWINCH) and top's new graphs
modes. The symptoms were a dangling tilde (~) plus the
potential loss of a graph's right-most visual content.
The condition was only apparent when a %Cpu approached
100% usage. Also the apparent loss of content affected
the 'block' graph only. With 'bar' graphs, that affect
became the loss of proper right-most bar graph colors.
The cause was determined to be a combination of: 1) an
unnecessary snprintf precision specification; and 2) a
rounding quirk for any graphs which displayed distinct
types of information (as for user/syst, used/unavail).
These could then combine to produce an extra bar/block
which, in turn, resulted in the truncation of a pseudo
termcap attribute used by the show_special() function.
What was originally interpreted as an intractable race
condition turns out to be just a self inflicted wound.

With introduction of the 'available' column
and with the latest changes in the 'used' evaluation
the -/+ buffers/cache line became redundant.
The first value duplicates the 'used'
column and the second value has a more accurate
brother called 'available'.
This renames the --available switch
to the --wide switch and changes the default
layout so that it includes the 'available'
column and joins buffers and cache into
a common column called 'buff/cache'.
Let's not report zero for kb_main_available when older
kernels don't have MemAvailable. Instead, if we simply
duplicate the 'free' amount we can avoid all ancillary
problems, such as those involving top's graphing mode.

This patch will trade a former pessimistic calculation
of free physical memory for a more optimistic one that
uses the newly added kb_main_available library export.
But in case one might wish to return to the old former
method, there's a new #define that was made available.

This commit just ensures recalculation of some amounts
for iterative processes, like top. It also trades some
repeated runtime calls to sysconf for a one time cost.

The stderr message regarding ELF notes appears on some
systems (openSUSE-13.1 for example) but I have not yet
isolated why. Since at startup we go on to determine a
Hertz value the old fashion way, this patch just turns
off the useless message until the cause is understood.

This commit adds the GLOB_BRACE flag in the glob flags.
That allows to expand the csh style braces {a,b} and
define multiple independent patterns for config file
locations.
This commit adds support for fallback calculation
of the MemAvailable field if not exported by the
kernel. The MemAvailable field appeared in kernel
3.14, but it's possible to calculate it from other
fields since 2.6.27 (splitLRU changes).
Nowadays the usernames can be 32 characters long
(typically OpenShift usernames use the whole length)
and the old limit was preventing us from processing
them correctly.
The macro change affects the proc_t structure size.
This commit adds a new switch -a/--available that
appends a new column called 'available' to the
output. The column displays an estimation
of how much memory is available for starting
new applications, without swapping. Unlike the data
provided by the 'cached' or 'free' fields, this
field takes into account page cache and also that
not all reclaimable memory slabs will be reclaimed
due to items being in use.
This commit introduces a new option q/-q/--quick-pid
to the 'ps' command. The option does a similar job
to the p/-p/--pid option (i.e. selection of PIDs
listed in the comma separated list that follows
the option), but the new option is optimized
for speed.
In cases where users only need to specify a list
of PIDs to be shown and don't need other selection
options, forest type output and sorting options,
the new option is recommended as it decreases
the initial processing delay by avoiding reading
the necessary information from all the processes
running on the system and by simplifying
the internal filtering logic.
Gosh, just because most of us might run with some swap
file allocated, not every system might. I only wish my
testing methodology was as sophisticated as Jaromir's.

This should be the last of this kind of crap. I'll get
to work on some means to no longer burden a translator
with lengths requirements. Ideally each word should be
allowed to stand alone and the minimum/maximum lengths
handled programmatically when our ol' top is executed.

The pgrep usage() rework commit from 26-Sep-2011 introduced
a regression in exitcodes and the pgrep tool now returns
EXIT_FAILURE (1) or even EXIT_SUCCESS (0) instead
of the documented EXIT_USAGE (2). This commit fixes
the usage() so that the exitcodes match the manual.
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. ]

It seems command -v also includes built-ins so checking for kill
is useless because it finds the built-in and those machines or
environments that have no /bin/kill fail at the check stage.
Oh and then TCL exec doesn't spawn a shell.
After reading way too many TCL websites, I believe this should
fix the problem. TCL quoting is... different to say the least but
it works reliably here. The script now even picked up a typo elsewhere
which was nice.
This change should stop the intermittent FTBFS bugs from the Debian
pbuilders, I hope! You'd think kill $var wouldn't be this difficult.
