pstree:tldr:d3f40

The command "pstree" is used in Unix-like operating systems to display the process hierarchy in a tree-like format. It provides a visual representation of how processes are related to each other.

When you execute the "pstree" command, it will print a tree diagram showing all the currently running processes on your system. The tree starts with the "init" process (the parent process of all processes on Unix-like systems), and then each process is displayed as a branch of the tree, with its child processes indented beneath it.

The command helps you understand the relationship between processes and how they are linked in a parent-child hierarchy. It can be useful for troubleshooting, monitoring system performance, or understanding the structure of the process tree on your system.
