Changes from version 15 to 16 (28-JUL-1997)
=============================
- killall: now gets the list of all PIDs before killing processes, thereby
avoiding race between readdir and /proc (found by Boris Zentner)
- make install no longer changes BINDIR and MANDIR if they already exist
- changed psmisc.<version>.lsm to psmisc-<version>.lsm for consistency
Changes from version 14 to 15 (16-JUN-1997)
=============================
- killall: killall -v didn't print the command name (fixed by Marty Leisner)
- fuser: fuser -a <unix_domain_socket> could crash (reported by Helmut Geyer)
- fuser: fuser -m didn't consider UNIX domain sockets (fix based on a patch by
Andries Brouwer)
- fuser: fuser -a /a /a /b no longer merges the first two entries
- changed package name format from psmisc.<version> to psmisc-<version> to
avoid annoyance messages from sunsite's archive scripts
Changes from version 13 to 14 (19-APR-1997)
=============================
- killall: command-line parser didn't accept -signal (fixed by Chris Wedgwood)
- pidof: minor man page correction
- Makefile: pidof is now only installed when running make install-pidof
- added a file with installation instructions (INSTALL)
Changes from version 12 to 13 (16-APR-1997)
=============================
- fuser: didn't check for out of memory condition after malloc (oops !)
- fuser: INET domain sockets can now be specified as
[local_port][,[remote_host][,[remote_port]]]
- fuser: now includes linux/kdev_t.h instead of linux/fs.h. This may break
compilation with some ancient kernels.
- killall: new option -q to suppress error message if no process was found
- killall: man page didn't reset font properly
- killall: now tries harder to handle very long names (> 15 characters)
(proposed by Erik Thiele)
- killall: new option -e to require exact name match
- killall: now lists PIDs if invoked as "pidof" (proposed by Peter Daum)
- minor Makefile change to eliminate need to patch for some versions of Linux
Changes from version 11 to 12 (7-APR-1996)
=============================
- fuser is now able to look up INET and UNIX domain sockets
- pstree: new option -n to sort its output by PID
- pstree: new option -G to use VT100 line drawing characters
Changes from version 10 to 11 (20-SEP-1995)
=============================
- added VERSION file
- size of command name is now defined in comm.h - the old approach of
obtaining values from linux/sched.h:struct task_struct doesn't work anymore)
- signames.h is now generated from cpp output (linux/signals.h no longer
defines them)
- all commands now print the version number when invoked with the -V option
- signames.h added to make clean
- removed use of {,} expansion in mkdist
- various minor documentation fixes
Changes from version 9 to 10 (28-MAR-1995)
============================
- fuser: now prints header before first path (used to be on same line)
- fuser: fixed line wrapping for long paths (used to wrap too early)
- fuser: fixed a NULL pointer dereference in add_file
- pstree: now outputs strings obtained from termcap with tputs
- some cosmetic changes (to avoid certain warnings if using -Wconversion)
- updated e-mail address in README
Changes from version 8 to 9 (22-JAN-1995)
===========================
- fuser: now works with Plan 9 semantics (i.e. what recent kernels use;
reported by Harald Koenig, Nick Simicich, and others)
- fuser: now also scans /proc/*/maps
- fuser: fixed NULL pointer dereferencing when processes are created while
fuser is running (fix by Pauline Middelink)
- fuser: now resets effective uid to real uid before killing, thereby making
suid installation a smaller security risk
- pstree: fixed process tree truncation (fix by Andreas Schwab)
- pstree: added support for UTF-8 line drawing characters (adapted a patch by
Johan Myreen)
- killall.1 now warns about potential compatibility problems with killall
on other systems (proposed by Christos Ricudis)
- added a copyright notice
- updated e-mail address
Changes from version 7 to 8 (11-OCT-1994)
===========================
- pstree: added -a to display command line arguments
- pstree, fuser and killall: display an error message if /proc has
no process entries (i.e. if it is not mounted)
- killall: more detailed usage output
- killall: added killing by file
- fuser and killall: fixed generation of signal list to include SIGUSR[12]
- fuser: now also accepts signal numbers
- "make install": now also installs man pages; executable permissions changed
from 755 to 555; now installs fuser in /bin, killall and pstree in /usr/bin
- "make spotless": fixed typo
- man pages: minor corrections and improvements
Changes from version 6 to 7
===========================
- pstree: -h didn't work because of incorrect termcap usage
- pstree: changed branch drawing from --- to -+-
\- `-
- pstree: fixed indentation inside compacted subtrees
- fuser and killall: don't kill themselves
- fuser: suppresses m(map) if file is e(xecuted)
- mkdist now includes itself
- minor updates on all man pages
Changes from version 5 to 6
===========================
- pstree: unknown display width expressed as zero width (TIOCGWINSZ) is
now correctly handled.
- fuser: added -s for silent operation.
- fuser: added non-zero return code if no processes using any file are
found.
- pstree and fuser: non-printable characters in command names (fuser: also
in file names) are now shown as \nnn (octal). \ is shown as \\.
- added "install" target to Makefile to install binaries in /usr/local/bin
- minor updates on all man pages.
Changes from version 4 to 5
===========================
- killall: added interactive and verbose modes (options -i and -v)
- fuser: added 0.99pl11 support (changed /proc/*/lib to /proc/*/mmap)

(shlibs were marked with "s" and mmap'ed files weren't marked
at all)
Changes from version 3 to 4
===========================
- killall and fuser: now accept signal numbers too.
- pstree: added listing of process trees by user name.
- pstree: compaction sometimes generated wrong output.
