1.SH "MacOS X NOTES"
2The display is pretty close to the recommended display and also that
3of a normal 4.4 BSD system.  The NICE column has been changed to be
4the number of threads for each process.  The SIZE column reflects the
5total size of the process (resident + non-resident) while the RES
6column shows only the resident size.  The STATE column uses
7information taken from the kinfo_proc structure p_pstat member.  It
8will accurately display the state of stopped and zombie processes, but
9I am not really sure about the other states.  Finally, the MEM column
10is included which displays the percent of total memory per the ps
11command.

14Many thanks to William LeFebvre who is the original author
15of the top utility and to Mike Rhee who showed the utility
16to me in the first place.  Thanks also to Christos Zoulas
17who wrote the 4.4 BSD implementation of the machine module.
18I also got some pointers from the NEXTSTEP 3.2 and OSF/1
19versions by Tim Pugh and Anthony Baxter, respectively.
