;;; Commentary:

;; Proced makes an Emacs buffer containing a listing of the current system
;; processes (using ps(1)).  You can use the normal Emacs commands
;; to move around in this buffer, and special Proced commands to operate
;; on the processes listed.
;;
;; To do:
;; - decompose ps(1) output into columns (for `proced-header-alist')
;;   How can we identify columns that may contain whitespace
;;   and that can be either right or left justified?
;;   Use a "grammar table"?
;; - sort the "cooked" values used in the output format fields
;;   if ps(1) doesn't support the requested sorting scheme
;; - filter by user name or other criteria
;; - automatic update of process list
