clarify ps(1) fallback of `podman top`
Podman top falls back to executing ps(1) inside the container in the
presence of ps-specific flags. Clarify that a bit more to help users
resolve issues when, for instance, ps(1) isn't installed in the
container.

Note that you can also specify options and or flags of ps(1); in this case, Podman will fallback to executing ps with the specified arguments and flags in the container. Please use the "h*" descriptors if you want to extract host-related information. For instance, `podman top $name hpid huser` to display the PID and user of the processes in the host context. ## OPTIONS |
