Don't shoot me, but the default for |

has changed once again. |
|
So many people were confused by the fact that |
|
.Nm |
|
wasn't showing them all the processes that I have decided to make the |
|
default behavior show idle processes, just like it did in version 2. |
|
But to appease folks who can't stand that behavior, I have added the |
|
ability to set |
|
.Li default |
|
options in the environment variable |
|
.Ev TOP |
|
(see the |
|
.Sx OPTIONS |
|
section). |
|
Those who want the behavior that version 3.0 had need only set |
|
the environment variable |
|
.Ev TOP |
|
to |
|
.Li -I . |
