NAME
       top - display Linux tasks

SYNOPSIS
       top -hv|-bcHiOSs -d secs -n max -u|U user -p pid -o fld -w [cols]

DESCRIPTION
       The top program provides a dynamic real-time view of a running system.  It can display system summary informa‐
       tion as well as a list of processes or threads currently being managed by the Linux kernel.

1. COMMAND-LINE Options
       The command-line syntax for top consists of:

         -hv|-bcHiOSs -d secs -n max -u|U user -p pid -o fld -w [cols]

       -b  :Batch-mode operation

       -H  :Threads-mode operation
            Instructs top to display individual threads.  Without this command-line option a summation of all threads
            in each process is shown.  Later this can be changed with the `H' interactive command.


   4a. GLOBAL Commands

          q  :Quit

          H  :Threads-mode toggle
              When this toggle is On, individual threads will be displayed for all processes in all visible task win‐
              dows.  Otherwise, top displays a summation of all threads in each process.

       *  d | s  :Change-Delay-Time-interval
              You will be prompted to enter the delay time, in seconds, between display updates.


   4b. SUMMARY AREA Commands
          1  :Single/Separate-Cpu-States toggle
              When  you  see `%Cpu(s):' in the summary area, the `1' toggle is On and all cpu information is gathered
              in a single line.  Otherwise, each cpu is displayed separately as: `%Cpu0, %Cpu1, ...'  up to available
              screen height.

   4c. TASK AREA Commands
       The task area interactive commands are always available in full-screen mode.

       SORTING of task window

          For  compatibility,  this top supports most of the former top sort keys.  Since this is primarily a service
          to former top users, these commands do not appear on any help screen.
                command   sorted-field                  supported
                A         start time (non-display)      No
                M         %MEM                          Yes
                N         PID                           Yes
                P         %CPU                          Yes
                T         TIME+                         Yes

This is very important.

q      : exit
d | s -> 1   :  interval 1sec  (delay)

1      : Single/Separate-Cpu-States toggle
H      : Threads-mode toggle

P  : Sorted with CPU 
M  : Sorted with Memory
