at least they haven't (yet) reused the same letter to mean different things :-/ i did consider leaving those states out of the help since they're unlikely to show up in top, but it seemed plausible that they'd show up in ps. sadly 3.13 was released in 2014, so it's another 2 years before we can pretend this never happened... (while looking up that date on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel#Timeline i learned that there was a final 2.16 release in 2016!) > Rob _______________________________________________ Toybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.landley.net/listinfo.cgi/toybox-landley.net
