nettop: Monitor a specific process.
$ nettop -p "${select}"
try on your machine
The command "nettop -p "${select}"" is a command-line instruction that typically would be executed in a terminal or command prompt on a Unix-based operating system (such as macOS).
Here's what each part of the command does:
- "nettop" is a command-line utility that provides real-time network monitoring information, displaying a table of network statistics and active network connections.
- "-p" is an option/flag that instructs the "nettop" command to show network statistics specifically for the processes (or process identifiers) specified.
- "${select}" is a placeholder that represents a variable. In this case, it suggests that the variable "select" should contain the process identifier(s) for which the network statistics should be displayed.
The exact functionality and behavior of the command "nettop -p "${select}"" would depend on the specific context in which it is used and the value of the "${select}" variable. The value of "${select}" can be dynamically assigned or retrieved from user input, input/output redirection, or any other form of environment variable or shell variable assignment before executing the command.
