This is `htop`, an interactive process viewer.
It requires `ncurses`. It is developed primarily on Linux,
but we also have code for running under FreeBSD and Mac OS X
(help and testing are wanted for these platforms!)
This software has evolved considerably over the years,
and is reasonably complete, but there is always room for improvement.
Comparison between 'htop' and classic 'top'

* In 'htop' you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
* In `htop` you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally
to see all processes and full command lines.
* In 'top' you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
* In `top` you are subject to a delay for each unassigned
key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape
sequences are triggered by accident).
* 'htop' starts faster ('top' seems to collect data for a while
* `htop` starts faster (`top` seems to collect data for a while
before displaying anything).
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number to
kill a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you don't need to type the process number or
the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do.
* In 'htop' you can kill multiple processes at once.
* 'top' is older, hence, more tested.

Compilation instructions
------------------------
This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package.
See the INSTALL file for detailed instructions, but you are
probably used to the common `./configure`/`make`/`make install` routine.
See the [INSTALL](/INSTALL) file for detailed instructions, but you are
probably used to the common routine:
When fetching the code from the development repository, you need
to run the `./autogen.sh` script, which in turn requires autotools
to be installed.
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
See the manual page (man htop) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h'
inside htop) for a list of supported key commands.
By default `make install` will install into `/usr/local`, for changing
the path use `./configure --prefix=/some/path`.
if not all keys work check your curses configuration.
