line is not printed at all. This is specified in P1003.1-2004
(SUSv3), and is useful.
* Customised headers may contain embedded space, commas and equals
signs. To specify multiple customised headers, use multiple -o or -O
options. This is specified (for "-o", not for "-O") in P1003.1-2004
(SUSv3), and is useful.
* When a column is given a null (blank) customised header, it keeps its
default minimum width. This is specified in P1003.1-2004 (SUSv3), and
seems harmless.
* Fix a bug that made it impossible to print the same keyword multiple
times, with different customised headers each time. (Previously, the
last customised header was used for all instances of the keyword.)
* Make the behaviour of "-O" more useful. The first -O option adds
the default keywords only if there have not yet been any formatting
options, and multiple -O options now insert their keywords in adjacent
positions. Now {ps -j -O %cpu} is like {ps -j} with one extra column;
Previously, it would have had all the columns implied by "-j", plus
all the default columns, plus the extra column specified by "-O".
* Convert from home-grown linked lists to SIMPLEQ lists.
Discussed in tech-userlevel.
- fiddle with keyword table - mainly to keep width under 80 cols)
- add -k keylist so sort output
- don't use logs to work out field width, get -MAXINT right
- user defined headers can be 1 char (actually they can be zero length)
so ?? in tty column isn't guaranteed to be wider than header
- use PRId64 to remove some long long casts
- use kvm_openfiles(NULL, NULL, NULL, KVN_NO_FILES, ..) unless core file
specified
(approved by christos)
first argument doesn't start with a '-' and ends in 't', the 't' only
gets converted to a 'T' (for listing processes on the current tty)
if it doesn't contain any other command line option characters that
take an argument. Problem noticed by ITOH Yasufumi on tech-userlevel.
If the 'start' format was the last column, the width wouldn't be set
and started() output a zero length string instead of a string the right
length - fix header width calculations so the the last column is handled
the same all others. This only showed up for 'start' because started()
knew that the column header is the same width and the field itself...

What this does to the POLS when a script that is parsing ps output just happens
to run in a narrow terminal cannot be described in polite company.
If STDOUT is not a tty, leave width at 80.
just because the latter returned a NULL - that may normally happen,
when the process is, for example, a kernel thread
procfs_getargv(): if the name is brackened in '(' and ')', just
return NULL immediately - the code in command() will DTRT
and the output will be same for procfs- and kvm- based lookup
in all cases
also process start time, process arguments and session leadership status.
The procfs fallback is also used when kvm_openfiles() completely fails
(e.g. when /dev/mem is not readable).
Solves PR 7772, though the final implementation is different.
fallback method is used, as the results could be untrustworthy if an
intruder is present. It is highly likely that NetBSD-1.5 will have
an improved kvm interface for reading process information, at which
point this code can be garbage-collected. Also added a word to the
man page -x option description while I was here.
and the top, and then set the effective gid back to kmem around the call to
kvm_openfiles(). this reduces the time group kmem is available.
- for those above that also allow this, setgid(getgid()) after the call to
kvm_openfiles() to fully revoke priviledges.
- some KNF
- use err(3) over fprintf(3) in some places
