display diod performance

## NAME

dtop - display diod performance

**dtop** *\[-h hostlist\] \[OPTIONS\]*

## DESCRIPTION

**dtop** connects to **diod** servers and displays performance information.

## OPTIONS

- *-h, --hostlist HOSTS*

  Specify the lists of **diod** servers that **dtop** monitors. Multiple hosts may be separated by commas, and host ranges may be included in the list, e.g. *x\[1-3,42\]* is equivalent to *x1,x2,x3,x42*. By default, **dtop** monitors *localhost*. Note that **dtop** uses the "ctl" synthetic file system. "ctl" must be explicitly exported.
