irqtop - Man Page

irqtop [options]

Display kernel interrupt counter information in top(1) style view.

The default output is subject to change. So whenever possible, you should avoid using default outputs in your scripts. Always explicitly define expected columns by using --output.

-o,  --output list

Specify which output columns to print. Use --help to get a list of all supported columns. The default list of columns may be extended if list is specified in the format +list.

-c,  --cpu-stat mode

Show per-cpu statistics by specified mode. Available modes are: auto, enable, disable. The default option auto detects the width of window, then shows the per-cpu statistics if the width of window is large enough to show a full line of statistics.

-C,  --cpu-list list

Specify cpus in list format to show.

-d,  --delay seconds

Update interrupt output every seconds intervals.

-s,  --sort column

Specify sort criteria by column name. See --help output to get column names. The sort criteria may be changes in interactive mode.

-S,  --softirq

Show softirqs information.

-h,  --help

Display help text and exit.

-V,  --version

Print version and exit.
