The command "bpytop" launches a system monitoring tool called "bpytop" in the command line interface.
bpytop stands for "Better Python top" and it is a resource monitoring tool that provides a more comprehensive and visually appealing alternative to the traditional command "top" tool. It is written in Python and uses the "psutil" library to gather system information.
When you execute the "bpytop" command, it opens a new terminal window or tab displaying real-time information about system resources such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network activity, and processes. It presents this data in a visually informative manner with color-coded bars and graphs. You can navigate through different sections of the interface using keyboard shortcuts to get detailed information and even perform various system-related tasks such as killing processes or changing system settings.
Overall, bpytop is a powerful and user-friendly utility for monitoring system performance and resource usage in a terminal environment.
