While
|
||||
.B htop
|
||||
depends on most of the libraries it uses at build time there are two
|
||||
noteworthy exceptions to this rule. These exceptions both relate to
|
||||
data displayed in meters displayed in the header of
|
||||
.B htop
|
||||
and were intentionally created as optional runtime dependencies instead.
|
||||
These exceptions are described below:
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B libsystemd
|
||||
The bindings for libsystemd are used in the SystemD meter to determine
|
||||
the number of active services and the overall system state. Looking for
|
||||
the functions to determine these information at runtime allows for
|
||||
builds to support these meters without forcing the package manager
|
||||
to install these libraries on systems that otherwise don't use systemd.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary: no build time dependency, optional runtime dependency on
|
||||
.B libsystemd
|
||||
via dynamic loading, with
|
||||
.B systemctl(1)
|
||||
fallback.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B libsensors
|
||||
The bindings for libsensors are used for the CPU temperature readings
|
||||
in the CPU usage meters if displaying the temperature is enabled through
|
||||
the setup screen. In order for
|
||||
.B htop
|
||||
to show these temperatures correctly though, a proper configuration
|
||||
of libsensors through its usual configuration files is assumed and that
|
||||
all CPU cores correspond to temperature sensors from the
|
||||
.B coretemp
|
||||
driver with core 0 corresponding to a sensor labelled "Core 0". The
|
||||
package temperature may be given as "Package id 0". If missing it is
|
||||
inferred as the maximum value from the available per-core readings.
|
||||
|
||||
Summary: build time dependency on

||||
.B libsensors(3)
|
||||
C header files, optional runtime dependency on

|
||||
