Memory sizes in htop are displayed as they are in tools from the GNU Coreutils
|
||||
(when ran with the --human-readable option). This means that sizes are printed
|
||||
in powers of 1024. (e.g., 1023M = 1072693248 Bytes)

.LP
|
||||
The decision to use this convention was made in order to conserve screen space
|
||||
and make memory size representations consistent throughout htop.
