(if any) and exit, thus matching the behavior on -stable and other OS's.
My earlier attempt to fix this (v1.65) only seemed to work because of a
lucky random value in nentries (which was not being initialized back
when I tested that earlier patch).
is compiled with LAZY_PS, so that there is only one PS_ARGS string to
modify when changing the option-list. Also get `-f' to show up in the
usage() statement when compiled with LAZY_PS.
- Change `-p' to allow a list of process IDs, and `-t' to allow a list
of terminal names, instead of only a single value for each.
- Add the `-A' option of SUSv3, which is exactly the same as `-ax'.
- Add the `-G gidlist' (group id).
- Allow any of these "selector options" to be specified multiple times,
and have `ps' keep adding to a given list -- instead of replacing the
previously-specified values.
- Fix interactions between selector-options, so that: "If any are
specified, ... ps shall select the processes represented by the
inclusive OR of all the selection-criteria options." (from SUSv3)
- Add a `-X' option, which is the reverse of the `-x' option.
- various minor improvements in parsing and error handling.
This does not get us to match POSIX/SUSv3, but it gets us closer. The
`-g pgidlist', `-R ruserlist' and `-s sidlist' options mentioned in
freebsd-standards are still under debate, so they skipped for now.
It should be true that this introduces no user-visible incompatible
changes, except to support "new stuff" that was not supported before.
just print the header (if any) and exit, thus matching the behavior on -stable

Also adds support for <x> being a comma-separated list of processes, and does
a much better checking for invalid-values of <x>, such as 'ps -p someword'.

problem when ps(1) is invoked for examply as follows:
$ ps -Ufoobar1234
the above example results in option string being interpreted as
-U foobarp1234 - note extra `p'.

only scalar values and structures that are already part of the
kernel/user interface, specifically rusage and rtprio. It no
longer contains proc, session, pcred, ucred, procsig, vmspace,
pstats, mtx, sigiolst, klist, callout, pasleep, or mdproc. If
any of these changed in size, ps, w, fstat, gcore, systat, and

of unassigned space for future values to be added, yet is nearly
100 bytes smaller per entry than the structure that it replaced.
ps(1) should not be returning a success code (0), it should return an
error code (1). This was fixed on OpenBSD over 3 years ago.

This fixes some nasty procfs problems for SMP, makes ps(1) run much faster,
and makes ps(1) even less dependent on /proc which will aid chroot and
jails alike.
To disable this facility and revert to previous behaviour:
sysctl -w kern.ps_arg_cache_limit=0
