It's a bit unfortunate that userland has to know about the shift to use (since the priority level itself is unsigned). It would be nicer to just send the offset along, but that requires modifying 'struct kinfo_proc', which I would rather not do for just that (but may do once I can get back to another priority-related patch series which IIRC does some changes in this area). It would be even simpler to just consume widened and signed report fields. In the meantime, I can submit a patch to htop. If people are aware of/using other process monitoring applications, please let me know. Thanks and regards. -- Olivier Certner
