'''THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY THE LATEST VERSION OF THE HTOP ARTICLE. THAT CAN BE FOUND AT Htop (Unix)'''

Htop is an advanced, interactive process viewer written for Linux. It is designed to replace the Unix program top. It shows a frequently updated list of the processes running on a computer, normally ordered by the amount of CPU usage. Unlike 'top', Htop provides a full list of processes running, instead of the top resource consuming processes.

Htop is often used in environments where Unix top does not provide enough information about the systems processes, like trying to find minor memory leaks in applications.

Htop is written in the C Programming Language using the Ncurses library.
