## NAME bb — your system's Big Brother ## SYNOPSIS ``` bb ``` ## DESCRIPTION simple process viewer (for functionalities, press `h` within `bb` or see shortcuts below) ![screenshot](screenshot.png) ## WHY This is a "weekend" side-project made for fun, but it ended up somewhat useful and fast. Performance seems on par with `htop` without having done any benchmarks, however in contrast to `htop`, `bb` doesn't leave artifacts when it redraws the screen. I am not completely sure this is `htop`'s fault though, feel free to correct me. ## INSTALL Prerequisites: [cargo](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install) >= 1.36, Linux ``` cargo install bb ``` ## BUILD Prerequisites: rustc, cargo >= 1.36, Linux Execute `cargo build --release`, resulting binary will be in ./target/release/bb ## SHORTCUTS ``` 'h' Toggle help overlay 'F' Follow process and its children.
