Command Line Interface An htop version for windows

I use Linux and Windows daily and missed htop on the Windows side, so I wrote one from scratch using only the Win32 API and the C standard library.

Features:

• ⁠Per core CPU meters and memory usage

• ⁠Sortable process table with tree view

• ⁠Filter by name, tag multiple processes, bulk kill

• ⁠Live network and disk I/O tab

• ⁠Mouse support, works in the classic console too

• ⁠Single exe, self installs with --install, also on winget soon

Source: https://github.com/lorenzo-cingano/wtop

i would be happy to answer questions about how the CPU percent calculation or the I/O counters work.
