Bug ID: 11971
Summary: ps output run together when PID is too wide
Product: Busybox
Version: 1.33.x
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Standard Compliance
Assignee: unassigned at busybox.net
Reporter: jsbarber60 at gmail.com
CC: busybox-cvs at busybox.net
Target Milestone: ---
In the command "ps ax -o pid,args" the PID is run together with the next field
whenever the PID is longer than 5 characters.
Easy demonstration with alpine linux in a docker container:
$ docker run -it alpine:latest
/ # for n in $(seq 100000); do (:) ; done
/ # ps ax -o pid,args
PID COMMAND
1 /bin/sh
100008ps ax -o pid,args
I also built the current master branch on my local ubuntu box and reproduced:
(Create processes to get PID above 100000, then...)
$ ./busybox ps ax -o pid,args
PID COMMAND
...
102096busybox ps ax -o pid,args
Standard: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ps.html
...
-o format
Write information according to the format specification given in format. This
is fully described in the STDOUT section. Multiple -o options can be specified;
the format specification shall be interpreted as the <space>-separated
concatenation of all the format option-arguments.
