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 via --hide_time then this will have no effect.
-b, --basic
Hides graphs and uses a more basic look. Design is largely inspired by htop's.
--battery
Shows the battery widget in default or basic mode. No effect on custom layouts.
-S, --case_sensitive
When searching for a process, enables case sensitivity by default.
-c, --celsius
Sets the temperature type to Celsius. This is the default option.
--color=COLOR SCHEME
Use a pre-defined color scheme. Currently supported values are:
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | default
| +------------------------------------------------------------+ | default-light (default but for
use with light backgrounds) | +------------------------------------------------------------+ |
gruvbox (a bright theme with 'retro groove' colors) |
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | gruvbox-light (gruvbox but for
use with light backgrounds) | +------------------------------------------------------------+ |
nord (an arctic, north-bluish color palette) |
+------------------------------------------------------------+ | nord-light (nord but for use with
light backgrounds) | +------------------------------------------------------------+ Defaults
to "default".
-C, --config=CONFIG PATH
Sets the location of the config file. Expects a config file in the TOML format. If it doesn't
exist, one is created.
-u, --current_usage
Sets process CPU% usage to be based on the current system CPU% usage rather than total CPU usage.
-t, --default_time_value=TIME
Default time value for graphs. Takes a number in milliseconds or a human duration (e.g. 60s). The
minimum time is 30s, and the default is 60s.
--default_widget_count=INT
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 TYPE
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) |
+---------+---------+-------------+---------+
Setting '--default_widget_type Temp' will make the Temperature widget selected by default.
Supported widget names: +--------------------------+ | cpu |
+--------------------------+ | mem, memory | +--------------------------+ |
net, network | +--------------------------+ | proc, process, processes |
+--------------------------+ | temp, temperature | +--------------------------+ |
disk | +--------------------------+ | batt, battery |
+--------------------------+
--disable_advanced_kill
Hides advanced options to stop a process on Unix-like systems. The only option shown is 15 (TERM).
--disable_click
Disables mouse clicks from interacting with the program.
-m, --dot_marker
Uses a dot marker for graphs as opposed to the default braille marker.
--enable_cache_memory
Enable collecting and displaying cache and buffer memory.
--enable_gpu_memory
Enable collecting and displaying GPU memory usage.
-e, --expanded
Expand the default widget upon starting the app. Same as pressing "e" inside the app. Use with
"default_widget_type" and "default_widget_count" to select desired expanded widget. This flag has
no effect in basic mode (--basic)
-f, --fahrenheit
Sets the temperature type to Fahrenheit.
-g, --group
Groups processes with the same name by default.
-a, --hide_avg_cpu
Hides the average CPU usage from being shown.
--hide_table_gap
Hides the spacing between table headers and entries.
--hide_time
Completely hides the time scale from being shown.
-k, --kelvin
Sets the temperature type to Kelvin.
-l, --left_legend
Puts the CPU chart legend to the left side rather than the right side.
--mem_as_value
Defaults to showing process memory usage by value. Otherwise, it defaults to showing it by
percentage.
--network_use_binary_prefix
Displays the network widget with binary prefixes (i.e. kibibits, mebibits) rather than a decimal
prefix (i.e. kilobits, megabits). Defaults to decimal prefixes.
--network_use_bytes
Displays the network widget using bytes. Defaults to bits.
--network_use_log
Displays the network widget with a log scale. Defaults to a non-log scale.
--process_command
Show processes as their commands by default in the process widget.
-r, --rate=TIME
Sets the data refresh rate. Takes a number in milliseconds or a human duration (e.g. 5s). The
minimum is 250ms, and defaults to 1000ms. Smaller values may take more computer resources.
-R, --regex
When searching for a process, enables regex by default.
--retention=TIME
How much data is stored at once in terms of time. Takes a number in milliseconds or a human
duration (e.g. 20m), with a minimum of 1 minute. Note higher values will take up more memory.
Defaults to 10 minutes.
--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.
-T, --tree
Defaults to showing the process widget in tree mode.
-n, --unnormalized_cpu
Shows all process CPU% usage without averaging over the number of CPU cores in the system.
--use_old_network_legend
DEPRECATED - uses an older (pre-0.4), separate network widget legend. This display is not tested
anymore and could be broken.
-V, --version
Prints version information.
-W, --whole_word
When searching for a process, return results that match the entire query by default.
-h, --help
Print help (see a summary with '-h')
