Total tasks running number of processes in the running state sleeping number of processes in sleep stopped number of processes in the stopped state zombie number of processes in a zombie state

%CPU consumes us (user) non-fine-tuned user process elapsed time sy kernel process takes time NI fine-tune user process elapsed time ID idle time WA wait I/O finish time hi hard interrupt take time SI soft terminal elapsed Time St Virtual machine occupation time

Here, press 1 to show the occupancy of each CPU separately.

KiB mem:total Total Memory free memory consumption used memory footprint Buff/cache buff and cache amount

KiB swap:total swap total free swap idle used swap consumption avail mem the amount of memory available is approximately equal to the amount of memory Free + memory consumption

During the top process, M is sorted by memory footprint, T is sorted by time, and is sorted by CPU usage by default

Top is actually an interactive program, s can modify the Refresh interval K can forcibly close the process (input process ID) Q Exit program
