# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| iotop: iotop (input/output top) iotop: iotop: iotop identifies processes that use high amount of input/output iotop: requests on your machine. iotop: It is similar to the well known top utility, but instead of showing iotop: you what consumes CPU the most, it lists processes by their IO usage. iotop: Inspired by iotop Python script from Guillaume Chazarain, rewritten iotop: in C by Vyacheslav Trushkin and improved by Boian Bonev so it runs iotop: without Python at all. iotop: iotop: homepage: https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop
