DESCRIPTION
A customizable cross-platform graphical process/system monitor for the terminal. Supports Linux, macOS,
and Windows.
OPTIONS
--autohide_time
Automatically hides the time scale in graphs after being shown for a brief moment when zoomed
in/out. If time is disabled using --hide_time then this will have no effect.
-b, --basic
Hides graphs and uses a more basic look, largely inspired by htop's design.
-C, --config_location=PATH
Sets the location of the config file. Expects a config file in the TOML format. If it doesn't
exist, a default config file is created at the path. If no path is provided, the default config
location will be used.
-t, --default_time_value=TIME
Default time value for graphs. Either a number in milliseconds or a 'human duration' (e.g. 60s,
10m). Defaults to 60s, must be at least 30s.
--default_widget_count=N
Sets the N'th selected widget type to use as the default widget. Requires 'default_widget_type' to
also be set, and defaults to 1.
This reads from left to right, top to bottom. For example, suppose we have a layout that looks
like: +-------------------+-----------------------+ | CPU (1) | CPU (2) |
+---------+---------+-------------+---------+ | Process | CPU (3) | Temperature | CPU (4) |
+---------+---------+-------------+---------+
And we set our default widget type to 'CPU'. If we set '--default_widget_count 1', then it would
use the CPU (1) as the default widget. If we set '--default_widget_count 3', it would use CPU (3)
as the default instead.
--default_widget_type=WIDGET
Sets which widget type to use as the default widget. For the default layout, this defaults to the
'process' widget. For a custom layout, it defaults to the first widget it sees.
For example, suppose we have a layout that looks like:
+-------------------+-----------------------+ | CPU (1) | CPU (2) |
+---------+---------+-------------+---------+ | Process | CPU (3) | Temperature | CPU (4) |
+---------+---------+-------------+---------+
Then, setting '--default_widget_type temperature' will make the temperature widget selected by
default.
[possible values: cpu, mem, net, network, proc, process, processes, temp, temperature, disk, batt,
battery]
--disable_click
Disables mouse clicks from interacting with bottom.
-m, --dot_marker
Uses a dot marker for graphs as opposed to the default braille marker.
-e, --expanded
Expand the default widget upon starting the app. This flag has no effect in basic mode (--basic).
--hide_table_gap
Hides spacing between table headers and entries.
--hide_time
Hides the time scale from being shown.
-r, --rate=TIME
Sets how often data is refreshed. Either a number in milliseconds or a 'human duration' (e.g. 1s,
1m). Defaults to 1s, must be at least 250ms. Smaller values may result in higher system resource
usage.
--retention=TIME
How far back data will be stored up to. Either a number in milliseconds or a 'human duration'
(e.g. 10m, 1h). Defaults to 10 minutes, and must be at least 1 minute. Larger values may result
in higher memory usage.
--show_table_scroll_position
Shows the list scroll position tracker in the widget title for table widgets.
-d, --time_delta=TIME
The amount of time changed when zooming in/out. Takes a number in milliseconds or a human duration
(e.g. 30s). The minimum is 1s, and defaults to 15s.
-S, --case_sensitive
Enables case sensitivity by default when searching for a process.
-u, --current_usage
Calculates process CPU usage as a percentage of current usage rather than total usage.
--disable_advanced_kill
Hides additional stopping options Unix-like systems. Signal 15 (TERM) will be sent when stopping a
process.
-g, --group_processes
Groups processes with the same name by default.
--process_memory_as_value
Defaults to showing process memory usage by value. Otherwise, it defaults to showing it by
percentage.
--process_command
Shows the full command name instead of the process name by default.
-R, --regex
Enables regex by default while searching.
-T, --tree
Makes the process widget use tree mode by default.
-n, --unnormalized_cpu
Show process CPU% usage without averaging over the number of CPU cores.
-W, --whole_word
Enables whole-word matching by default while searching.
-c, --celsius
Use Celsius as the temperature unit. This is the default option.
-f, --fahrenheit
Use Fahrenheit as the temperature unit.
-k, --kelvin
Use Kelvin as the temperature unit.
-l, --cpu_left_legend
Puts the CPU chart legend on the left side.
--default_cpu_entry=ENTRY
Sets which CPU entry type is selected by default.
[possible values: all, avg]
-a, --hide_avg_cpu
Hides the average CPU usage entry.
--memory_legend=POSITION
Where to place the legend for the memory chart widget.
[possible values: none, top-left, top, top-right, left, right, bottom-left, bottom, bottom-right]
--enable_cache_memory
Enables collecting and displaying cache and buffer memory.
--network_legend=POSITION
Where to place the legend for the network chart widget.
[possible values: none, top-left, top, top-right, left, right, bottom-left, bottom, bottom-right]
--network_use_bytes
Displays the network widget using bytes. Defaults to bits.
--network_use_binary_prefix
Displays the network widget with binary prefixes (e.g. kibibits, mebibits) rather than a decimal
prefixes (e.g. kilobits, megabits). Defaults to decimal prefixes.
--network_use_log
Displays the network widget with a log scale. Defaults to a non-log scale.
--use_old_network_legend
(DEPRECATED) Uses separate network widget legend. This display is not tested and may be broken.
--battery
Shows the battery widget in default or basic mode, if there is as battery available. This has no
effect on custom layouts; if the battery widget is desired for a custom layout, explicitly specify
it.
--disable_gpu
Disable collecting and displaying NVIDIA and AMD GPU information.
--theme=SCHEME
Use a pre-defined color theme. Currently supported themes are: - default - default-light (default
but adjusted for lighter backgrounds) - gruvbox (a bright theme with 'retro groove' colors)
- gruvbox-light (gruvbox but adjusted for lighter backgrounds) - nord (an arctic,
north-bluish color palette) - nord-light (nord but adjusted for lighter backgrounds)
-h, --help
Prints help info (for more details use '--help'.
-V, --version
Prints version information.
