### Running procps Tests

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/INSTALL.md

Command to execute the test suite for procps. Requires DejaGNU to be installed.

```bash
make check
```

--------------------------------

### Get Latest Translations

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/translations.md

Synchronizes the latest translated .po files for both programs and man pages using rsync.

```bash
make get-trans
```

--------------------------------

### Create Translation Templates

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/translations.md

Generates the .pot files used as a base for translators. These should be sent to the tp-coordinator before release.

```bash
make -C po-man translate-templates
```

--------------------------------

### Add procps-ng to Buildroot Configuration

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/howto-uClibc-buildroot-compilation.txt

This snippet shows how to include the procps-ng package configuration in the main Buildroot configuration file.

### Capturing strace Output

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Use `strace` to trace system calls and `bzip2` to compress the output. This is helpful for understanding program behavior and diagnosing issues.

```bash
strace -o output-file ps --blah
```

```bash
bzip2 output-file
```

### Running a Program with GDB

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Use the GNU Debugger (GDB) to run a program and capture a stack trace. This is essential for diagnosing crashes.

```bash
gdb prog
```

```bash
run
```

```bash
bt
```

--------------------------------

### Cloning the procps-ng Repository

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Clone the procps-ng project from GitLab using SSH. This is the first step for contributing patches.

```bash
git clone git@gitlab.com:procps-ng/procps.git
```

--------------------------------

### Translate Man Pages

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/translations.md

Generates translated man pages by combining original man pages with relevant .po files. This command is also invoked during the dist-hook.

```bash
make -C po-man translate-mans
```

--------------------------------

### Generating a Git Patch

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Use `git format-patch` to create patches from your commits. This is a standard way to submit code changes.

```bash
git request-pull commit-id \\
	git://gitorious.org/~yourlogin/procps/your-clone.git
```

--------------------------------

### Conditional Patching Based on Kernel Version

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Use the `linux_version_code` variable to conditionally apply patches based on the running kernel version. This ensures compatibility across different kernel releases.

```c
if (linux_version_code < LINUX_VERSION(2,5,41))
   /* blah blah blah */
```

--------------------------------

### Compiling with Debug Symbols

Source: https://gitlab.com/procps-ng/procps/-/blob/master/doc/bugs.md

Recompile the program with debug symbols and optimization disabled for better debugging. This is useful when a program crashes and you need to generate a stack trace.

```bash
make CFLAGS="-ggdb -O"
```
