is useful even though a similar effect is achievable with sort(1),
since the latter doesn't work in combination with -h. This option is
also present in NetBSD, OpenBSD, and GNU fileutils, so there's clearly
a demand for it.

-r can be used to reverse the sort if that is desired.

With this fix in place, we can commit a change to kern/imgact_shell.c
so FreeBSD will process the `#!' line in shell-scripts in a more
standard fashion.

Note: This is really a bug with the stock tcsh configure.in script not
including <sys/types.h> before <utmp.h>. But, since config.h is maintained
separate from the contrib sources, this is the correct fix.

work as expected when they have a "shebang line" of:
#!/bin/sh -- # -*- perl -*- -p
This specific line is recommended in some perl documentation, and I think
I've seen similar lines in documentation for ruby and python. Those
write-ups expect `sh' to ignore everything after the '--' if the first
thing after the '--' is a '#'. See chapter 19, "The Command-Line Interface"
in 3rd edition of "Programming Perl", for some discussion of why perl
recommends using this line in some circumstances.
The above line does work on solaris, irix and aix (as three data points),
and it used to work on FreeBSD by means of a similar patch to execve().
However, that change to execve() effected *all* shells (which caused
other problems), and that processing was recently removed.

- Document the fact that empty heading text suppresses the
heading line (e.g. 'ps -o pid='), as this is very useful
in scripts.
- Describe logname keyword more completely.
- Describe the printing of arguments more completely.
- Put lockname in the correct alphabetical order in the list
of all keywords.
- Correct sentence in standards section.

to exceed 10 megabytes in size (especially in X), bump the max
column width from 4 bytes to 5. This will make the ps auxw output
uniform again when a process's rss exceeds 10 megs.
It should be noted that when 5 digits becomes to small, other
solutions should be explored such as displaying them in megabytes
or having ps automatically re-size column widths.
