Process Data
Information about individual processes on the system. When process data cannot fit on a single
screen, top divides the data into two or more screens. To view multiple-screen data, use the j,
k, and t commands described previously. Note that the system- and memory-data displays are
present in each screen of multiple-screen process data.
Process data is displayed in a format similar to that used by ps(1):
CPU Processor number on which the process is executing (only on multi-processor
systems).
TTY Terminal interface used by the process.
PID ProcessID number.
USERNAME Name of the owner of the process. When the -u option is specified, the user
ID (uid) is displayed instead of USERNAME.
PRI Current priority of the process.
NI Nice value ranging from −20 to +20.
SIZE Total size of the process in kilobytes. This includes text, data, and stack.
RES Resident size of the process in kilobytes. The resident size information is, at
best, an approximate value.
STATE Current state of the process. The various states are sleep, wait, run,
idl, zomb,orstop.
TIME Number of system and CPU seconds the process has consumed.
%WCPU Weighted CPU (central processing unit) percentage.
%CPU Raw CPU percentage. This field is used to sort the top processes.
COMMAND Name of the command the process is currently running.
EXAMPLES
top can be executed with or without command-line options. To display five screens of data at two-second
intervals then automatically exit, use:
top -s2 -d5
