+Glances is a free (LGPL) cross-platform  curses-based  monitoring  tool
+which  aims  to present a maximum of information in a minimum of space,
+ideally to fit in a classical 80x24 terminal or higher  to  have  addi-
+tionnal information.
+
+Glances  can  adapt  dynamically the displayed information depending on
+the terminal size. It can also work in a client/server mode for  remote
+monitoring.
+
+This tool is written in Python and uses the psutil library to fetch the
+statistical values from key elements, like CPU, load  average,  memory,
+network, disks, file systems, processes, etc.
+
+Optional dependencies are Jinja2 (for HTML output), hddtemp (for HHD
+temperature monitoring support) and python3.
+Others not available on SBo are pysensors (for HW monitoring support)
+and batinfo (for battery monitoring support).

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
