Can you explain what the process IDL means in the Linux operating system?

In Linux, the process status IDL (Idle) usually indicates that the process is in a waiting state and not using CPU time. This state is characterized by the process not performing active computations but waiting for an event, such as input/output or a signal.

In the output of the top or ps command, a process with the "I" (Idle) state does not occupy CPU but remains in memory and is ready to run when needed.
