Freebsd native usage

[hishamhm]

That would be a lot of work! The entire backend of htop is based on procfs, so it would be something like rewriting half of the program... unfortunately I can't spare the time that would be necessary to do that... if there was enough interest I could do a fundraiser and work on that instead of the freelance jobs I've been taking lately (that would be fun!).

Some work on this has already been done: https://github.com/kAworu/stop

wow thanks for the information i will try that out as soon as possible.!

@eraserewind how odd, that page says "Sadly this part hasn't yet been started, due to the lack of collaboration of the htop author(s)" — certainly, there has been no collaboration from my part because I had never heard about stop!

[eraserewind]

@hishamhm hehe, i'm not the author so I don't know why it's here :)

Just gonna chime in and say I'd like to see this too!

I might be willing to do some work on this in the future, but I won't make any promises, just a teaser.

@saatanaperkele I did some coding in a BSD VM when I was isolating the linux/ and unsupported/ parts of the code. I'll commit the stuff I had in a new freebsd branch. However, this branch is way behind the major reworkings I'm doing in the wip branch. Getting all branches in sync will take some work.

[saatanaperkele]

Appreciate all the work, I've been laid off so I'll have some free time to hack at it soon.

Ouch, sorry to hear that! I wish you luck!
