For some reason when the new -X/-XX options were added
what was always displayed as 'Mode' became 'Flags'. So
now a precious horizontal space is wasted because that
field's data has only 4 bytes whereas the header is 5.
Moreover, this created a conflict with the top program
which used that name in a column header already. Plus,
top emitted a 'Translation Hint' that suggests the max
chars should be 8 which is a limit pmap needn't share!
The xgettext program provides no way to keep identical
strings separate. This meant both top and pmap will be
sharing not only the msgid but a Translation Hint too.
So, the solution will now be two distinct field names.
Besides the kernel folks document it as 'perm' anyway!

new options for pmap

COMPATIBILITY This code is intended for use with Linux 2.6.xx, 3.x and hopefully all future kernels. INSTALLATION If you are using git version of the project you need extra step. ./autogen.sh After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can 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.
