   pcp-atop    ( 1 )

OUTPUT DESCRIPTION

The first sample shows the system level activity since boot (the
       elapsed time in the header shows the time since boot).  Note that
       particular counters could have reached their maximum value
       (several times) and started by zero again, so do not rely on
       these figures.

       For every sample pcp-atop first shows the lines related to system
       level activity. If a particular system resource has not been used
       during the interval, the entire line related to this resource is
       suppressed.  So the number of system level lines may vary for
       each sample.
       After that a list is shown of processes which have been active
       during the last interval.  This list is by default sorted on cpu
       consumption, but this order can be changed by the keys which are
       previously described.

       If values have to be shown by pcp-atop which do not fit in the
       column width, another format is used. If e.g. a cpu-consumption
       of 233216 milliseconds should be shown in a column width of 4
       positions, it is shown as `233s' (in seconds).  For large memory
       figures, another unit is chosen if the value does not fit (Mb
       instead of Kb, Gb instead of Mb, Tb instead of Gb, ...).  For
       other values, a kind of exponent notation is used (value
       123456789 shown in a column of 5 positions gives 123e6).
