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. | ||

the priority value to renice a process, in 'top' you do. | ||

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: | ||
|
||
./autogen.sh && ./configure && make | ||
|
||
By default `make install` will install into `/usr/local`, for changing | ||
the path use `./configure --prefix=/some/path`. | ||
|
||
See the manual page (`man htop`) or the on-line help ('F1' or 'h' | ||
inside `htop`) for a list of supported key commands. | ||
|
||
When fetching the code from the development repository, you need | ||
to run the `./autogen.sh` script, which in turn requires autotools | ||
to be installed. | ||
If not all keys work check your curses configuration. | ||
|

inside htop) for a list of supported key commands. | ||
