Htop is a system monitoring program for Linux and an alternative to the program top. It provides much of the same functionality as top, but offers greater flexibility over how system processes can be viewed. Its features include a visual meter of critical system resources and the ability to view processes in a tree format. It is possible to run htop on BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) and macOS, in addition to Linux.
