ok so bestie, this is a User Commands page for wmforkplop, and i'm about to make it make sense. pull up a chair, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's go.

🌸 NAME 🌸

wmforkplop — watches the kernel doing its little forking thing and shows you the top CPU-hungry processes. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

wmforkplop [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ok so wmforkplop is this program that monitors the forking activity of the kernel and displays a list of the most CPU-consuming processes. and like… it was primarily aimed at Windowmaker, but bestie it will run on any window manager — either as a dockapp or as a standard X11 application. it's giving versatile. it's giving main character energy. 👑

🎀 Option list: 🎀

• -h, --help — print this. that's it. that's the whole job.
• -v, --verbose — increase verbosity. she talks more. 🗣️
• -V, --version — print version.
• --fontpath path — add a new directory to the font search directory list.

default: --fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/truetype (and subdirectories)

• --fontpath=/usr/share/fonts/ttf — (and subdirectories)
• --fontpath=$HOME/.fonts — (and subdirectories)
• --font fontname/size — set the 'small font' name/size in pixel (default: --smallfont=Vera/6). the font name is case-sensitive, and must correspound to the name of a .ttf file which can be found in one of the fontpaths. by default, wmforkplop tries to load the following fonts:
  • Vera/6, DejaVuSansMono/6, Andale_Mono/6, Verdana/6, Trebuchet_MS/7
• -c n, --colormap=n — select colormap number n (0 <= n <= 5). 🌈
• -g[=WxH+x+y], --geometry[=WxH+x+y] — start in window (i.e. undocked) mode with specified geometry (i.e. -g 96x32 or -g 64x64+0+0).
• --32, --48, --56 — start in a reduced dockapp, for people whose dock is too small too contain 64x64 dockapps. we love an accessible queen 💅
• --no-top — disable the wmtop feature, you will only see the fork animation. just vibes, no data.
• --no-fork — disable the fork animation, you will only see the list of top processes. just data, no vibes.
• --threshold=n — minimum CPU consumption (%) of a process listed in the top-list (default 3%). like a little velvet rope at the club 🎀
• -u n, --proc-update-delay=n — set the delay between two reads of /proc, the default is 150 (milliseconds). setting a small value gives accurate results, but consumes more CPU as reading /proc is quite expensive. highkey a tradeoff bestie, choose wisely 😭
