Introduction
procutils is a suite of Linux command-line utilities — top, ps, free,
vmstat, and friends — written from scratch in Rust as a clean-room,
permissively-licensed reimplementation of the tools traditionally provided by
procps-ng. Each tool reads from
/proc (and a few other kernel interfaces) to report on processes, memory,
and system state, and aims to be a drop-in replacement for its procps-ng
counterpart while taking the opportunity to clean up rough edges where doing
so does not break existing use-cases.
