What is the main function of the htop utility in the Linux operating system?

The htop utility in Linux is used for interactive monitoring of system resources and processes. It displays real-time CPU load, memory usage, and a list of running processes with the ability to manage them (for example, terminate a process).

Unlike the classic top command, htop has a user-friendly color interface, supports navigation with keyboard and mouse, allows sorting processes by various parameters, and filtering them.

Example of launching:

htop

After launching, you will see a dynamic table with information about processes and system resources.
