+iotop identifies processes that use high amount of input/output
+requests on your machine.
+It is similar to the well known top utility, but instead of showing
+you what consumes CPU the most, it lists processes by their IO usage.
+Inspired by iotop Python script from Guillaume Chazarain, rewritten
+in C by Vyacheslav Trushkin and improved by Boian Bonev so it runs
+without Python at all.
+
+Note that this conflicts with iotop (install one of the two).
