 **Mac users, [click here](https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/554-mac-os-x-support-in-the-official-htop-1-x-tree)!** The htop version you are using is a 5-year old fork -- help bring htop 1.x to the Mac!
2004 - 2015
Introduction
------------
This is htop, an interactive process viewer.
It requires ncurses. It is tested with Linux 2.6,
but is also reported to work (and was originally developed)
with the 2.4 series.
Note that, while, htop is Linux specific -- it is based
on the Linux /proc filesystem -- it is also reported to work
with FreeBSD systems featuring a Linux-compatible /proc.
This is, however, unsupported. Contact the packager for your
system when reporting problems on platforms other than Linux.
This software has evolved considerably during the last years,
and is reasonably complete, but there is still room for
improvement. Read the TODO file to see what's known to be missing.
