Description-en: Observe IRQ and SoftIRQ in a top-like fashion
irqtop is a small ruby-written and curses-based utility which shows
interrupt requests and software interrupts like top does for
processes, but enhanced with colors.
.
irqtop is part of the ipt_netflow project as it has been written for
monitoring the usage of the ipt_NETFLOW kernel module, but can be
used separately.
