URL : https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop/

Description : iotop-c does for I/O usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It watches I/O
: usage information output by the Linux kernel and displays a table of
: current I/O usage by processes on the system. It is handy for answering
: the question "Why is the disk churning so much?".
:
: iotop-c requires a Linux kernel built with the CONFIG_TASKSTATS,
: CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING and
: CONFIG_VM_EVENT_COUNTERS config options on.
:
: iotop-c is an alternative re-implementation of iotop in C, optimized for
: performance. Normally a monitoring tool intended to be used on a system
: under heavy stress should use the least additional resources as
: possible.
