ps Ref por Libor Benes (Dr. B)

ps Ref brings a clean, high-contrast, searchable reference of essential ps (process status) commands directly into your Firefox sidebar.

Instantly access curated recipes for process tracking, resource monitoring, CPU/memory analysis, process trees, thread inspection, security contexts, and system auditing — all without leaving your current workflow. (Note: This add-on is not official Mozilla software.)

Designed for system administrators, DevOps engineers, security analysts, penetration testers, and Linux power users who need fast, reliable access to process inspection commands.

🏛 About ps Command Reference:
Manually recalling the dozens of ps syntax options, format specifiers, sorting flags, and output formats is time-consuming and error-prone.

ps Ref solves this by providing a well-organized, instantly searchable collection of the most useful and practical ps commands for real-world Linux process management and forensics.

📐 Desktop Sidebar Design:
ps Ref appears as a persistent, always-available sidebar in Firefox.

• Sticky Search Bar: Neon input field with real-time filtering as you type.
• Command Cards: Clean, compact cards with descriptive titles and monospace commands.
• One-Click Copy: High-visibility buttons that confirm successful clipboard action.
• High Contrast Neon Theme: Optimized for readability in dark environments.

⚙ How It Works — 100% Client-Side:
The extension runs entirely locally in your browser. No servers, no accounts, and no data collection of any kind. All commands are stored in a static JavaScript array and loaded from the extension package. Nothing is ever sent over the network.

📊 What You See:
🔍 Live Filtering — Results update instantly as you type keywords like memory, tree, pid, threads, or user.
✨ Smart Copy Feedback — Copy button changes to "DONE" with color confirmation.
🌌 Neon Dark Theme — Deep space background with bright cyan and magenta accents for excellent contrast.
📋 Zero Friction — Paste directly into your terminal after copying.

🖥 Features:
🗂 Curated ps Command Library — Dozens of hand-picked, verified commands covering standard, BSD, and advanced usage.
🔍 Instant Search — Filter the entire list in real time with any keyword.
📋 One-Touch Clipboard — Copy exact commands with a single click.
🌳 Process Trees & Threads — Quick access to hierarchy views and thread listings.
🔒 100% Client-Side — No telemetry, no tracking, explicitly declared in manifest.json.

🎯 Perfect for:
• System Administrators and DevOps engineers monitoring production servers.
• Security Analysts and Forensic Investigators auditing running processes.
• Penetration Testers during host reconnaissance and privilege escalation checks.
• Linux Power Users and Developers who frequently work with process diagnostics.
• Educators and students learning Linux process management.

🔒 Security-First Architecture:
✅ No Data Collection — Explicitly declared in manifest.json.
✅ No Telemetry — Zero network requests or external connections.
✅ No Risky Code — No eval(), no innerHTML, fully safe DOM methods.
✅ Minimal Permissions — Only clipboardWrite for copying commands.
✅ Flat & Auditable Structure — Simple, transparent file layout.
