The abbreviated basename of the executable of the process, obtained from
/proc/[pid]/exe, if readable. htop is able to read this file on linux for ALL
the processes only if it has the capability CAP_SYS_PTRACE or root privileges.
The basename is marked in red if the executable used to run the process has

been replaced or deleted on disk since the process started. The information is
obtained by processing the contents of /proc/[pid]/exe.
Furthermore the basename is marked in yellow if any library is reported as having
been replaced or deleted on disk since it was last loaded. The information is
obtained by processing the contents of /proc/[pid]/maps.
When deciding the color the replacement of the main executable always takes
precedence over replacement of any other library. If only the memory map indicates
a replacement of the main executable, this will show as if any other library had
been replaced or deleted.
This additional color markup can be configured in the "Display Options" section of
the setup screen.
.TP
.B PID
The process ID.
