pwfoo / bb

simple process viewer in rust https://crates.io/crates/bb

NAME

 bb — your system's Big Brother

SYNOPSIS

     bb

DESCRIPTION

simple process viewer (for functionalities, press h within bb or see shortcuts below)

WHY

This is a "weekend" side-project made for fun, but it ended up somewhat useful and fast. Performance seems on par with htop without having done any benchmarks, however in contrast to htop, bb doesn't leave artifacts when it redraws the screen. I am not completely sure this is htop's fault though, feel free to correct me.
