About
=====

psutil is a cross-platform library for retrieving information about running
**processes** and **system utilization** (CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors)
in Python. It is useful mainly for **system monitoring**, **profiling**,
**limiting process resources**, and **managing running processes**. It
implements many functionalities offered by UNIX command line tool such as
*ps, top, free, iotop, netstat, ifconfig, lsof* and others (see
`shell equivalents`_). Psutil supports the following platforms:

- **Linux**
- **Windows**
- **macOS**
