Human readable memory sizes in top?
Is there an option in top to show memory sizes in human readable format?
Example:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
3960 phil 20 0 1347280 383112 30316 S 0.0 9.5 6:59.45 firefox
It would be nicer to show RES as 374m (instead of 383112).
I’m currently using Arch Linux. Ubuntu seems to use human readable representations by default.
(I tried man top but could not find the option. Maybe I missed it.)
You can switch the memory unit by pressing e. E will select the memory unit in the top summary bar.
Use W to permanently write your configuration to /home/user/.toprc and see also ? for more configuration options.
