Filter on process state

[OlafvdSpek]

Is it possible to filter on process state (state == 'D' for example)? If not, it'd be nice.
And is there a meter that'll show the number of processes in each state?

[BenBE]

The answer to both of your questions is currently: No.

This feature does not currently exist and the necessary information to make it a meter is not currently counted while gathering information.

This looks like something I can take a look at for hacktoberfest. I'll fork, clone and build (to get started) unless someone objects.

Pointers to "the necessary information" and how to add to what is counted would probably get me off the ground a little quicker.

Thanks!

Step 0.5:

htop/Process.h

Lines 38 to 56 in 9c316cc

	/* Core process states (shared by platforms)
	* NOTE: The enum has an ordering that is important!
	* See processStateChar in process.c for ProcessSate -> letter mapping */
	typedef enum ProcessState_ {
	UNKNOWN = 1,
	RUNNABLE,
	RUNNING,
	QUEUED,
	WAITING,
	UNINTERRUPTIBLE_WAIT,
	BLOCKED,
	PAGING,
	STOPPED,
	TRACED,
	ZOMBIE,
	DEFUNCT,
	IDLE,
	SLEEPING
	} ProcessState;

and

htop/Process.h

Line 192 in 9c316cc

ProcessState state;

I have not had the time to get to this so I won't be able to complete this work.
