.SH NAME
glances \- An eye on your system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBglances\fP [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBglances\fP is a cross\-platform curses\-based monitoring tool which aims
to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space, ideally to
fit in a classical 80x24 terminal or higher to have additional
information. It can adapt dynamically the displayed information
depending on the terminal size. It can also work in client/server mode.
Remote monitoring could be done via terminal or web interface.
.sp
\fBglances\fP is written in Python and uses the \fIpsutil\fP library to get
information from your system.
