newbies yes - but 'kernel' too.
its not for help 'finding your way around a desktop'
I know we all go to man pages right away, but everyone needs to learn...
man and self-sufficiency are good lessons.
Just my 2 cents....
Remember.. no such thing as a dumb question...

it was the level of effort I spoke to. Im a newbie too - I just try to
dig a little 1st.
My answer to the original question had no pejorative tones.
Also, I suspect the OP had other facets of the question that were unstated,
like inside/outside the kernel. I guess I baited him to explain more
what his
requirements were - reading /proc takes time, and I would have liked to see
answers that addressed faster-lighter data-collection than is done by 'top'
finally, 'man oh man' was answer to 'lnx lnx' Q.
fwiw, I thought the 3-entendre was a little bit amusing.
apologies to the flamed/crispy
