# htop
> Display dynamic real-time information about running processes.
> An enhanced version of `top`.
> See also: `top`, `atop`, `glances`, `btop`, `btm`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/htop>.
- Start `htop`:
`htop`
- Start `htop` displaying processes owned by a specific user:
`htop {{[-u|--user]}} {{username}}`
- Display processes hierarchically in a tree view to show the parent-child relationships:
`htop {{[-t|--tree]}}`
- Sort processes by a specified `sort_item` (use `htop --sort help` for available options):
`htop {{[-s|--sort]}} {{sort_item}}`
- Start `htop` with the specified delay between updates, in tenths of a second (i.e. 50 = 5 seconds):
`htop {{[-d|--delay]}} {{50}}`
- Disable all system and process changing features:
`htop --readonly`
- See interactive commands while running `htop`:
`{{<F1>|<?>}}`
- Switch to a different tab:
`<Tab>`
