0048-proc/escape.c: Make sure all escape*() arguments are safe.
The SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() macro solves several potential problems
(although we found no problematic calls to the escape*() functions in
procps's code-base, but had to thoroughly review every call; and this is
library code):
1/ off-by-one overflows if the size of the destination buffer is 0;
2/ buffer overflows if this size (or "maxroom") is negative;
3/ integer overflows (for example, "*maxcells+1");
4/ always null-terminate the destination buffer (unless its size is 0).
---------------------------- adapted for newlib branch
. the escape.c now has just a single exported function
. thus SECURE_ESCAPE_ARGS() is needed in only 2 places
. unlike that original patch, macro is executed 1 time
( not like 'escape_command' calling 'escape_strlist' )
( which might then call 'escape_str' multiple times! )

top: allow more flexible approach for startup defaults
Those references below offer more detail regarding the
default startup changes beginning with version 3.3.10.
It is important to remember that all such changes were
supposed to impact only new users or users who had not
saved the personal config file (via that 'W' command).
However, I introduced a bug wherein the rcfile was not
fully honored. This gave the changes a bad reputation.
That bug was corrected in release 3.3.11 but the issue
of default startup options keeps resurfacing. And it's
clear there's no consensus on what should be included.
Our --disable-modern-top configure option is of little
help since it remains an all-or-nothing approach. What
we need is an answer offering unlimited customization.
So, this commit will provide distribution packagers or
system administrators with a much more flexible way to
set their own preferred startup default configuration.
A new rcfile is being introduced: '/etc/topdefaultrc',
whose format/content is the same as a personal rcfile.
Thus once a 'proper' enterprise configuration has been
established and saved via 'W', it can be copied to the
/etc/ directory. Thereafter, startup in the absence of
a saved rcfile will use that configuration as default.
Now if a distribution packager or system administrator
wishes to expose their users to some of top's advanced
capabilities they can do so gradually. Perhaps setting
up graph mode for summary area task and memory display
while retaining the %CPU sort could be tried. Or maybe
showing colors, but better customized for a particular
terminal emulator. Such possibilities are now endless.

is always the inverse of some well known errno.h value
. . . . . . . . . . . functions returning an 'address'

with the actual reason found in the formal errno value
And, when errno is manipulated directly we will strive
to do so whenever possible within those routines which
have been declared with PROCPS_EXPORT. In other words,
in the user callable functions defined in source last.

Now that top can properly handle translated multi-byte
strings I've been reviewing translated efforts so far,
and weighing output against related translation hints.
In one case, a translation hint has not kept pace with
the current program state. In addition, that same hint
could be expanded to suggest translation alternatives.
[ frankly I never expected the translators to tackle ]
[ some of those 'special' strings. the task appeared ]
[ just too daunting. but they have done a great job! ]

top: again avoid multiple evaluation of macro argument
Before top was modified to exploit the new <pids> api,
there was protection in that task_show() makeVAR macro
to avoid multiple evaluation of this macro's argument.
But, in that commit referenced below, such a safeguard
was lost. This commit simply restores proper behavior.

top: when did scale_mem parm lose 'unsigned' qualifier
Well, for some strange unknown reason it happened in a
commit referenced below. But this patch reverts it and
puts this newlib scale_mem on par with the master guy.

top: correct an insidious occasional truncation buglet
With the help of our Swedish translator, hopefully the
final buglet has now been vanquished in the multi-byte
translation support. This one was a real nasty bugger.
Although it didn't occur with every terminal emulator,
occasionally random text lines were being chopped off.
As it turns out, those terminals were blameless. There
were two separate places in top's show_special routine
where potential multi-byte sequences were inadequately
addressed. Solution: exploit existing utf-8 functions.
[ it also became apparent that the translation hints ]
[ in the top_nls module were deficient. so a special ]
[ caution was added regarding the final line of txt. ]

top: plug a small potential hole in multi-byte support
Unlike the insp_mkrow_raw function the insp_mkrow_utf8
routine is not equipped to print non-ctl, non-printing
characters like '<7f>'. However, technically that very
value currently slips through the cracks. So with this
patch top will now print a space in the unlikely event
a character with the value of 127 is ever encountered.

ps: don't use '+' truncation indicator with multi-byte
The ps program generally supports multi-byte sequences
in strings representing user and group names. However,
should a multi-byte sequence span the maximum width of
a column, the '+' inserted by ps to signify truncation
will corrupt that sequence, misaligning the text line.
Unfortunately, there's insufficient info returned from
the escape_str function (who calls escape_str_utf8) to
provide a robust response. So, this commit will revert
to the old standby of displaying a number when the '+'
character would've corrupted that multi-byte sequence.

top: extend utf-8 multi-byte support to users & groups
Since all the necessary utf-8 plumbing is now in place
this commit will extend multi-byte support to user and

top: some minor tweaks to the utf-8 multi-byte support
Translatable column headers are supposed to be limited
to no more than 7 characters, even though some columns
are wider than that or even variable width. That value
of 7 is dictated by the Fields Management screen which
will otherwise truncate a column header longer than 7.
Our new utf-8 support did not adequately deal with the
potential need for truncation of column headers should
that limit of 7 be exceeded. This patch corrects that.
