psthreads(1)
π NAME π
psthreads β a ps-like program that shows off your threads, with a whole UTF-8 tree aesthetic π³β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
psthreads
okay so bestie, hear me out: psthreads literally offers no options. That's it. That's the whole synopsis. She's low maintenance, she's unbothered, she just runs. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the vibe: psthreads shows you both threads AND processes at the same time, arranged as a task forest π²π²π². It's basically doing the thing that ps afmx refuses to do β like, ps afmx said no, and psthreads said "bet." ππ₯
The tree links are colour-coded so you can clock what's what instantly:
- Thread links get shown with green line-drawing characters π β cute, iconic, slay.
- Process links get shown with brown π€ β the brown of a job well done, honestly.
It's giving family tree but make it β¨kernelβ¨. iykyk.
no cap, if you've ever stared at a process list wondering which little gremlin spawned which other little gremlin, this is the one. π«Ά
