Hi,
thank you for your patch. I'd like it, especially the human readable
format.
I have two notes about it.
- It is complete rewrite of this command so you should mention this
in source code.
- I don't think that returning "too big" or worse "report a bug" is
good message for user. It will be better to replace it with correct
value.
If anybody hasn't anything against this patch we can accept it after
these small corrections.
I think we are open to any patches that doesn't change current default
behaviour or current options. The problem is that various distributions
have various patches so we must be careful to add new options to avoid
conflicts. Some patches are merged but bigger part still isn't.

Hi procps fork maintainers,
I did not find README.devel etc file which would indicate how far
you like to drift from sourceforge procps. With this patch I am
assuming that you really don't mind drifting as long as command
behavior for users does not change.
Assuming that is the case I could start doing similar
modernization on larger scale. Most of the commands does not seem
to support long options, proper .gitignore, support for autotools
might be welcome and so on. Naturally avoiding big commits is a
target, which I failed to do this time.
Please give some guidance, so that I will be help you the way you
feel is good for the project.
