This is necessary because htop(1) with Unicode enabled +directly accesses ncurses's cchar_t struct, which has different contents +in NetBSD's curses. + +Versions of libcurses in NetBSD 9 and prior have no mouse support +(this is an ncurses extension). Newer versions contain no-op mouse functions +for compatibility with ncurses. + +What needs improvement +--- + +* Kernel and userspace threads are not displayed or counted - + maybe look at NetBSD top(1). +* Support for compiling using libcurses's Unicode support. +* Support for fstat(1) (view open files, like lsof(8) on Linux). +* Support for ktrace(1) (like strace(1) on Linux). |
