.TH XSYSINFO 1x "December 2005" "Debian Project" "Debian GNU/Linux"
.SH NAME
xsysinfo \- Display Linux kernel parameters in graphical form
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xsysinfo [-help] [-update
.IB n ]
.B [-[no]title] [-[no]labels] [-[no]loadavg] [-[no]load] [-[no]mem]
.B [-[no]swap] [-[no]smp]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Xsysinfo
is an X application to display some Linux kernel parameters in
graphical form. It is like a mix of top, free and xload with the
difference that the values are shown in form of a horizontal bar. The
displayed values are: CPU load average, CPU load, memory and swap
sizes (details see below).
.SH OPTIONS

.TP
.B -mem
Show memory info
.TP

.TP
.B -help
Display options
.SH DISPLAY
.B Xsysinfo
display the following values:
.TP
.B CPU load average
CPU load average between 0.000-8.000. The gauge's bar is subdivided
into segments, where one segment represents a load value of 1.0. The
bar's full length is automatically scaled, depending on the displayed
value.
.TP
.B CPU load
percentage CPU load time to CPU idle time subdivided in three
segments: user load, system load and nice load. On an SMP system the
-smp option replaces the single total load meter with a separate meter
for each processor.
.TP
.B Memory
The memory gauge's bar is subdivided into two segments with the amount
of physical memory, which is used by processes on the left and
physical memory used for the page and buffer cache on the right. The
length of the whole bar, which is the sum of these two values, shows
the amount of physical memory currently used by the system.
.TP
.B Swap
The percentage of swap space used by the system to total amount of
swap space.
