3. Information about the iotop-c package on openSuSE Tumbleweed

Information for package iotop-c:
--------------------------------
Repository : openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Oss
Name : iotop-c
Version : 1.26-1.1
Arch : x86_64
Vendor : openSUSE
Installed Size : 133.5 KiB
Installed : No
Status : not installed
Source package : iotop-c-1.26-1.1.src
Upstream URL : https://github.com/Tomas-M/iotop
Summary : Simple top-like I/O monitor (implemented in C)
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.
