# bottom
[](https://travis-ci.com/ClementTsang/bottom) [](https://crates.io/crates/bottom)
A graphical top clone, written in Rust. Inspired by both [gtop](https://github.com/aksakalli/gtop) and [gotop](https://github.com/cjbassi/gotop)
## Features
Features of bottom include:
- CPU widget to show a visual representation of per-core usage. Average CPU display also exists.
- Memory widget to show a visual representation of both RAM and SWAP usage.
- Networks widget to show a log-based visual representation of network usage.
- Sortable and searchable process widget. Searching supports regex, and you can search by PID and process name.
- Disks widget to display usage and I/O per second.
- Temperature widget to monitor detected sensors in your system.
The compatibility of each widget and operating systems are, as of version 0.1.0, as follows:
| OS/Widget | CPU | Memory | Disks | Temperature | Processes | Networks |
| --------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | --------------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Linux | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Windows | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Currently not working | ✓ | Partially supported (total RX/TX unavailable) |
| macOS | Untested | Untested | Untested | Untested | Untested | Untested |
## Installation
### Linux
You can install the in-development version by cloning and using `cargo build --release`. You can get release versions using `cargo install bottom`, or manually building from the Releases page. Other installation methods based on distros are as follows:
#### Arch Linux
You can get the release versions from the AUR by installing `bottom`.
### Windows
You can install the in-development version by cloning and using `cargo build --release`. You can get release versions using `cargo install bottom`, or manually building from the Releases page. You may need to install a font like [FreeMono](https://fonts2u.com/free-monospaced.font) and use a terminal like cmder for font support to work properly, unfortunately.
### macOS
macOS support will hopefully come soonTM.
## Usage
Run using `btm`.
### Command line options
- `-h`, `--help` shows the help screen and exits.
- `-a`, `--avgcpu` enables also showing the average CPU usage in addition to per-core CPU usage.
- `-m`, `--dot-marker` uses a dot marker instead of the default braille marker.
- `-c`, `--celsius` displays the temperature type in Celsius. This is the default.
- `-f`, `--fahrenheit` displays the temperature type in Fahrenheit.
- `-k`, `--kelvin` displays the temperature type in Kelvin.
- `-v`, `--version` displays the version number and exits.
- `-d`, `--debug` enables debug logging.
- `-r `, `--rate ` will set the refresh rate in _milliseconds_. Lowest it can go is 250ms, the highest it can go is 2128 - 1. Defaults to 1000ms, and lower values may take more resources due to more frequent polling of data, and may be less accurate in some circumstances.
- `-l`, `--left_legend` will move external table legends to the left side rather than the right side. Right side is default.
- `-u`, `--current_usage` will make a process' CPU usage be based on the current total CPU usage, rather than assuming 100% CPU usage. Only affects Linux for now.
- `g`, `--group` will group together processes with the same name by default (equivalent to pressing `Tab`).
### Keybindings
#### General
- `q`, `Ctrl-c` to quit. Note if you are currently in the search widget, `q` will not work so you can still type.
- `Ctrl-r` to reset the screen and reset all collected data.
- `f` to freeze the screen from updating with new data. Press `f` again to unfreeze. Note that monitoring will still continue in the background.
- `Ctrl-Up` or `Ctrl-k`, `Ctrl-Down` or `Ctrl-j`, `Ctrl-Left` or `Ctrl-h`, `Ctrl-Right` or `Ctrl-l` to navigate between widgets.
- `Esc` to close a dialog window.
- `?` to get a help screen explaining the controls. Note all controls except `Esc` to close the dialog will be disabled while this is open.
#### Scrollable Tables
- `Up` or `k` and `Down` or `j` scrolls through the list if the widget is a table (Temperature, Disks, Processes).
- `gg` or `Home` to jump to the first entry of the current table.
- `G` (`Shift-g`) or `End` to jump to the last entry of the current table.
#### Processes
- `dd` to kill the selected process
- `c` to sort by CPU usage. Sorts in descending order by default. Press again to reverse sorting order.
- `m` to sort by memory usage. Sorts in descending order by default. Press again to reverse sorting order.
- `p` to sort by PID. Sorts in ascending order by default. Press again to reverse sorting order.
- `n` to sort by process name. Sorts in ascending order by default. Press again to reverse sorting order.
- `Tab` to group together processes with the same name. Disables PID sorting. `dd` will now kill all processes covered by that name.
- `Ctrl-f` or `/` to open the search widget.
#### Search Widget
- `Ctrl-p` or `Ctrl-n` to switch between searching for PID and name respectively.
- `Esc` or `Ctrl-f` to close.
Note that `q` is disabled while in the search widget.
### Mouse actions
- Scrolling with the mouse will scroll through the currently selected list.
