        Overview
        --------
        
        ``anytop`` is a tool for viewing frequency distributions over streaming input.
        It reads input line by line, and shows the top elements in the distribution as
        they stream in. It is inspired by the excellent command-line tools available
        for the Varnish web accelerator.
        
        ``anytop`` is designed to work within a shell flow, allowing you to easily
        modify the data streaming in with tools such as ``cut``, ``sed`` and ``tr``.
        Get usage help by typing ``anytop --help``. To exit ``anytop``, type CTRL-C.
        
        Example: dictionary words
        -------------------------
        
        Get the distribution of word starting with each different letter from the
        dictionary::
        
            cut -c 1-1 /usr/share/dict/words | tr [:upper:] [:lower:] | anytop
        
        .. image:: http://media.quietlyamused.org.s3.amazonaws.com/anytop/img/anytop-dict.png
        
        Looks like ``s``, ``p`` and ``c`` have the most words.
        
        Example: file types
        -------------------
        
        Work out the relative distribution of file extensions in a source tree::
        
            ack -f | fgrep . | awk -F . '{print $NF}' | anytop
        
        .. image:: http://media.quietlyamused.org.s3.amazonaws.com/anytop/img/anytop-sourcetree.png
        
        Looks like a PHP codebase for a web app.
        
        Example: shell commands
        -----------------------
        
        See what commands you use most often in bash::
        
            cut -d ' ' -f 1 .bash_history | xargs -n 1 basename | anytop
        
        .. image:: http://media.quietlyamused.org.s3.amazonaws.com/anytop/img/anytop-bashhist.png
        
        Developer tools ``vim``, ``git`` and ``j`` (autojump) feature pretty prominently.  Maybe I type ``ls`` a little too much.
        
        As you can see, ``anytop`` lends itself handily to shell pipelines, allowing
        it to be useful in a wide variety of situations.
        
        Memory usage
        ------------
        
        Anytop uses memory proportional to the number of distinct lines in the input.
        If the input keyspace is bounded, then anytop will use limited memory, no
        matter how many lines or how long it runs.
        
        When the input keyspace is not bounded, memory use can still be bounded by
        only displaying statistics on a fixed-size window of lines with the ``-l``
        option.
