In Linux, you can use the following command to view the usage of threads:

  1. To view all the currently running processes and threads on the system along with their CPU, memory, and resource usage, open the terminal and enter the “top” command, then press Shift + H to sort by thread ID.
  2. Command PS: Open the terminal and type “ps -eLf” to display detailed information of all threads, including thread ID, parent process ID, CPU usage, etc.
  3. htop command: htop is an interactive process viewer that allows you to visually see the usage of processes and threads on your system. After installing htop, open a terminal, type the htop command, then press F2, select “Display options”, and then choose “Display threads” to view information on all threads.
  4. The pidstat command is a tool used to monitor processes and threads. You can use the pidstat -t command to check the usage of threads, including CPU utilization, memory usage, and more.

These commands can be chosen as needed to view the utilization of threads in the system.
