;;; Commentary:

;; Proced makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of the current
;; system processes.  You can use the normal Emacs commands to move around
;; in this buffer, and special Proced commands to operate on the processes
;; listed.  See `proced-mode' for getting started.
;;
;; To do:
;; - Interactive temporary customizability of flags in `proced-grammar-alist'
;; - Allow "sudo kill PID", "sudo renice PID"
;;   `proced-send-signal' operates on multiple processes one by one.
;;   With "sudo" we want to execute one "kill" or "renice" command
;;   for all marked processes. Is there a `sudo-call-process'?
;;
;; Thoughts and Ideas
;; - Currently, `process-attributes' returns the list of
;;   command-line arguments of a process as one concatenated string.
;;   This format is compatible with `shell-command'.  Also, under
;;   MS-Windows, the command-line arguments are actually stored as a
;;   single string, so that it is impossible to reverse-engineer it back
;;   into separate arguments.  Alternatively, `process-attributes'
;;   could (try to) return a list of strings that correspond to individual
;;   command-line arguments.  Then one could feed such a list of
;;   command-line arguments into `call-process' or `start-process'.
;;   Are there real-world applications when such a feature would be useful?
;;   What about something like `proced-restart-pid'?

  "Alist of rules for handling Proced attributes.

Each element has the form

  (KEY NAME FORMAT JUSTIFY PREDICATE REVERSE SORT-SCHEME REFINER).

Symbol KEY is the car of a process attribute.

String NAME appears in the header line.

FORMAT specifies the format for displaying the attribute values.  It can
be a string passed to `format'.  It can be a function called with one
argument, the value of the attribute.  The value nil means take as is.

If JUSTIFY is an integer, its modulus gives the width of the attribute
values formatted with FORMAT.  If JUSTIFY is positive, NAME appears
right-justified, otherwise it appears left-justified.  If JUSTIFY is `left'
or `right', the field width is calculated from all field values in the listing.
If JUSTIFY is `left', the field values are formatted left-justified and
right-justified otherwise.

PREDICATE is the predicate for sorting and filtering the process listing
based on attribute KEY.  PREDICATE takes two arguments P1 and P2,
the corresponding attribute values of two processes.  PREDICATE should
return `equal' if P1 has same rank like P2.  Any other non-nil value says
that P1 is \"less than\" P2, or nil if not.
If PREDICATE is nil the attribute cannot be sorted.

PREDICATE defines an ascending sort order.  REVERSE is non-nil if the sort
order is descending.

SORT-SCHEME is a list (KEY1 KEY2 ...) defining a hierarchy of rules
for sorting the process listing.  KEY1, KEY2, ... are KEYs appearing as cars
of `proced-grammar-alist'.  First the PREDICATE of KEY1 is evaluated.
If it yields non-equal, it defines the sort order for the corresponding
processes.  If it evaluates to `equal' the PREDICATE of KEY2 is evaluated, etc.

REFINER can be a list of flags (LESS-B EQUAL-B LARGER-B) used by the command
`proced-refine' (see there) to refine the listing based on attribute KEY.
This command compares the value of attribute KEY of every process with
the value of attribute KEY of the process at the position of point
using PREDICATE.
If PREDICATE yields non-nil, the process is accepted if LESS-B is non-nil.
If PREDICATE yields `equal', the process is accepted if EQUAL-B is non-nil.
If PREDICATE yields nil, the process is accepted if LARGER-B is non-nil.

REFINER can also be a list (FUNCTION HELP-ECHO).
FUNCTION is called with one argument, the PID of the process at the position
of point.  The function must return a list of PIDs that is used for the refined
listing.  HELP-ECHO is a string that is shown when mouse is over this field.

If REFINER is nil no refinement is done."

The initial content of a listing is defined by the variable `proced-filter'

The variable `proced-filter' specifies which system processes are displayed.
The variable `proced-format' specifies which attributes are displayed for
each process.  Type \\[proced-filter-interactive] and \\[proced-format-interactive]

The current value of the variable `proced-filter' is indicated in the

The sort order of Proced listings is defined by the variable `proced-sort'.
Type \\[proced-sort-interactive] or click on a header in the header line

Optional EVENT is the location of the Proced field.

Refinement is controlled by the REFINER defined for each attribute ATTR
in `proced-grammar-alist'.

If REFINER is a list of flags and point is on a process's value of ATTR,
this command compares the value of ATTR of every process with the value
of ATTR of the process at the position of point.

The predicate for the comparison of two ATTR values is defined
in `proced-grammar-alist'.  For each return value of the predicate
a refine flag is defined in `proced-grammar-alist'.  One can select
processes for which the value of ATTR is \"less than\", \"equal\",
and / or \"larger\" than ATTR of the process point is on.  A process
is included in the new listing if the refine flag for the corresponding
return value of the predicate is non-nil.
The help-echo string for `proced-refine' uses \"+\" or \"-\" to indicate
the current values of these refine flags.

If REFINER is a cons pair (FUNCTION . HELP-ECHO), FUNCTION is called
with one argument, the PID of the process at the position of point.
The function must return a list of PIDs that is used for the refined
listing.  HELP-ECHO is a string that is shown when mouse is over this field.

This command refines an already existing process listing generated initially
based on the value of the variable `proced-filter'.  It does not change
this variable.  It does not revert the listing.  If you frequently need
