Command line and full screen utilities for browsing procfs, a "pseudo" file system dynamically generated by Linux to provide information about the status of entries in its process table.

Prior to this commit, top has always taken the easiest (safest?) approach when dealing with those troublesome SIGWINCH interrupts. Whenever the user was on a screen other than the main display, any signal received would force an immediate exit, returning to the main screen. With these changes, top will retain the user's current position regardless of what screen he/she was viewing. In support the following additional changes were made: * the initial help screen requires an explicit end key ` not 'any other key' formerly used to request an exit * the colors mapping screen instructions were improved * ^Z response was made immediate, eliminating the flag * the sigaction's SA_RESTART flag had to be eliminated * sigprocmask logic was normailize to the bare minimum * the POSIX.1-2004 async-signal safe functions used in ` the signal handlers were acknowledged and documented (everything is perfectly justified plus right margins) (are completely filled, but of course it must be luck) Reference(s): http://www.freelists.org/post/procps/unwanted-topinspect-window-enclosure-with-the-terminal-size-change Signed-off-by: Jim Warner <james.warner@comcast.net> |

do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
