    top: provide an option to ignore configuration file(s) · 4740a0ef
    jim warner authored and Craig Small's avatar Craig Small committed
    While I initially rejected the issue cited below, upon
    reflection I have decided to implement that provision.
    
    The primary reason I changed my mind is because of the
    potential presence of a global /etc/topdefaultrc file.
    
    Unlike that /etc/toprc restrictions file, topdefaultrc
    is intended as a courtesy to new top users. Instead of
    forcing users to accept the build defaults, a sysadmin
    could arrange for more suitable tailored top defaults.
    
    Were that the case, using a symlink to top under a new
    name would still yield such tailored results. In other
    words there's no way to experience the build defaults.
    
    Well, with these new short/long options there will be.
    
    Reference(s):
    #365
