  "github_readme_excerpt": "# bpftop\n\n\u003cimg src=\"bpftop-logo.png\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\"\u003e\n\n`bpftop` provides a dynamic real-time view of running eBPF programs. It displays the average runtime, events per second, and estimated total CPU % for each program. It also provides graphical views of these statistics over time. This tool minimizes overhead by enabling performance statistics only while it is active.\n\n![bpftop](bpftop.gif)\n\n## Installation\n\nThe install script downloads the latest release for your architecture (x86_64 or aarch64), verifies its SHA-256 against the digest published by GitHub, and installs it to `~/.local/bin` (or `/usr/local/bin` when run as root):\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://bpftop.sh/install | sh\n```\n\nPass `--version \u003ctag\u003e` to pin a specific release or `--bin-dir \u003cpath\u003e` to choose the install directory. Run the script with `--help` to see all options.\n\nOr install via your distribution\u0027s package manager:\n\n[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/bpftop.svg)](https://repology.org/project/bpftop/versions)\n\n### Fedora\n\nYou can install `bpftop` from the [official repositories](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bpftop) using [dnf](https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/):\n\n```bash\nsudo dnf install bpftop\n```\n\n### Arch Linux\n\nYou can install `bpftop` from the [official repositories](https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/bpftop/) using [pacman](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman):\n\n```bash\nsudo pacman -S bpftop\n```\n\n### Nix\n\nInstall `bpftop` from nixpkgs:\n\n```bash\nnix profile install nixpkgs#bpftop\n```\n\n## Features\n\n- **Real-time monitoring**: Displays a list of all running eBPF programs with ID, type, and name\n- **Performance metrics**: Shows period and total average runtime, events per second, and estimated CPU utilization\n- **Interactive navigation**: Navigate using arrow keys (\u2191/\u2193) or vim-style keys (j/k)\n- **Time-series graphs**: Press Enter on a program to view graphical representations of performance metrics over time\n- **Program filtering*",
