An interactive process viewer using linux's htop command

Editor to share with you the interactive process viewer using linux's htop command. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

Htop is an interactive process viewer in linux systems, a text-mode application (in the console or X terminal) that requires ncurses. Htop is more humanized. It allows users to operate interactively, supports color themes, scrolls through the list of processes horizontally or vertically, and supports mouse operation.

Compared with top, htop has the advantages of scrolling through the list of processes horizontally or vertically, so that you can see all processes and the complete command line, start faster than top, kill processes without entering process numbers, support mouse selection, and top is no longer maintained.
