💖 ITOP(1) — the interrupt-watching bestie 💖

okay so this is the manual page for itop, living in the General Commands Manual section of the manual, aka section 1. Pull up a chair, bestie, we're about to get so cozy with /proc/interrupts. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

itop — a simple, top-like interrupt load monitor 🦋

Like, it monitors your interrupt load. In a top-like way. That's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

itop [options]

That's it. That's the whole entrance. She takes options and nothing else. Main character energy, honestly. 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this manual page documents itop briefly. Short and sweet, we don't over-explain here. 🫶

itop is a simple interrupt load monitor. What does it do, you ask? It opens and monitors /proc/interrupts — yes, that file, the one you've been too scared to look at — and it does it in a top-like way. Same energy as top, but for interrupts. Obsessed. 😭✨

And here's the cute part: you can set it to monitor that file a specific number of times, and you can also set it to monitor all the interrupts, not just the ones currently being used. Like, the whole roster. Every single one. 🔥

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

Here's the summary of the options, bestie. There's two. Yes, only two. Quality over quantity, periodt. 👑

  • -n — Number of iterations. Like, how many times do you want her to loop? You tell her. She'll do it that many times. 🎀
  • -a — Show all ints, not just the ones in use. Because sometimes you want the whole guest list, not just the people who showed up to the party. 💅

no cap: that's genuinely everything the original page says. Nothing skipped, nothing invented. Just a glow-up. ✨

And that's a wrap!! This page came out of the General Commands Manual family, dated enero 28, 2007 — so yeah, she's an icon, she's been iconic, and she's still serving. 🎀💅 periodt. 🌈⭐
