Replicate htop's process list/tree options
Describe the feature request
What is the feature of interest? Be clear and concise.
htop
has a bunch of coloring features that make navigating a large process tree easier:
- "Shadow other users' processes": draw them in a more dim gray color;
- "Hide kernel threads" (on by default): only show userspace threads/processes;
- "Hide userland process threads": only show processes;
- "Display threads in a different color": helps distinguish threads and only pay attention to processes;
- "Show custom thread names": useful when processes care to set meaningful thread names;
- "Show program path" - helps to locate the exact executable for a process;
- "Highlight program "basename": really helps with a mile-long commands;
- "Update process names on every refresh": probably useful for processes that do
exec()
.
Additional context/details
I hope the option names are self-explanatory and the demand for them proven by their existence in htop
.
Sorry for partially duplicating #228.
Especially hiding kernel threads and highlighting base names.
htop's can also show a processes' open file handles, which can be handy
