irix - top (1)

     top - display processes having highest CPU	usage

     top [ -i interval ] [ -D fullpathname ]

     This command displays a sorted list of processes which are	using some
     portion of	the available CPU cycles on a machine.	The display is updated
     every interval.

     The following fields are displayed	in order for each process:  user name,
     process ID, process group ID, CPU usage, processor	currently executing
     the process ( if process not currently running), process priority,
     process size (in pages), resident set size	(in pages), amount of CPU time
     used by the process, and the process name.

     The priority field	encodes	additional information.	 The numeric priority
     may be preceeded by a single character symbol.  If	so, it encodes the
     scheduling	regime the process is running under:

	  +    Process has a non-degrading priority (no	priority aging)
	  d    Process is using	periodic deadline scheduling
	  g    Process is a member of a	gang scheduling	group
	  p    Process is in a batch priority gang scheduling group
	  b    Process is running at a batch priority

     Otherwise,	the process is a normal	time-sharing process.

     Two header	lines are displayed.  The first	gives the machine name,	the
     release and build date information, the processor type, the 1, 5, and 15
     minute load average, the current time and the number of active processes.
     The next line is a	header containing the name of each field highlighted.

     If	run from a job control shell, job control commands are fully
     supported.	 Typing	^-L causes top to redraw the screen, and an interrupt
     or	q causes the program to	exit.  Typing D	causes top to dump the current
     screen to a file.	The file is created on the first use, if necessary; if
     the file already exists, the data is appended to it.

     The following options are supported:

     -i	interval
	       This option sets	the update interval used; by default this is 5
	       seconds.

     -D	fullpathname
	       This option sets	the pathname of	the file to which the screen
	       is dumped with the D command.  The default is top.dump in the
	       current directory.
