Untitled
editThe external link for the man page pointed to a man page for Linux's top, a program which I had no part in authoring. I have changed it to point to the most recent man page for Unix top. Wnl

Options
editI have just edited the previously named Top:- section. It is really about options to the command. It's still not as high quality as I'd like to see. Can anyone improve on it? -- Unixguy (talk) 18:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Anything like this for non-Unix?
editSounds like an interesting app/software, made me want to learn more. Only problem is I’m not and probably never will be a Unix user, so I wanted to know if there were any apps, programs, whatever, equivalent to this but for use with Mac, iOS, Windows, etc. I couldn’t find any such info here so I assume there isn’t, but I’m thinking maybe it would be nice if it were mentioned, even if just to say that there is no version nor equivalent for anything besides Unix.

Etymology
editIs there a citation available for the "table of processes" etymology? Its common description of listing the "top processes" offers an alternative etymology; there doesn't seem to be any support in (for example) the unixtop.org archive links for the "table of processes" etymology; and frankly it smells like a backronym.

- https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Top_(software)&diff=prev&oldid=663144855 seems to be the point it was introduced. I think we should undo this particular change (only). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ewx (talk • contribs) 13:02, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
- Done. Ewx (talk) 22:09, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
