Pre-reset 'show' for process.
This simplifies the protocol between the platform-independent
and platform-specific parts. The platform-specific parts
were supposed to re-determine the value of process->show
on each iteration, and the Darwin subsystem wasn't doing that.
Instead of adding the code to the Darwin part, I lifted the
burden of the OS-specific of resetting process->show: now
they can choose to hide a process if they want to (e.g.
detecting kernel threads) but are not required to
(e.g. on Darwin where we're not listing threads separately (yet?)).
Fixes tree view collapsing/expanding on OSX. Closes #416.

htop

by Hisham Muhammad hisham@gobolinux.org (2004 - 2016)

Introduction

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.

Comparison between htop and classic top

  • In htop you can scroll the list vertically and horizontally to see all processes and full command lines.
  • In top you are subject to a delay for each unassigned key you press (especially annoying when multi-key escape sequences are triggered by accident).
  • htop starts faster (top seems to collect data for a while before displaying anything).
  • In htop you don't need to type the process number to kill a process, in top you do.
  • In htop you don't need to type the process number or the priority value to renice a process, in top you do.
  • In htop you can kill multiple processes at once.
  • top is older, hence, more tested.

Compilation instructions

This program is distributed as a standard autotools-based package. See the INSTALL file for detailed instructions.

When compiling from a release tarball, run:

./configure && make

For compiling sources downloaded from the Git repository, run:

./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.

If not all keys work check your curses configuration.
