Description
Feature description
As you know from the vanilla Termux shell you can't see the CPU status with the htop tool. Even if you use the legacy version. But from regular Android Apps you can read these values. So the question is: why not have a terminal alternative to "htop" using the termux-api?
Reference implementation
I don't have any direct reference. The idea is simple: provide through the termux-api the missing information that tools like "htop" can't read. Then, you can provide a new "htop-termux" tool that will be a simple fork that reads the missing values using the API.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the termux-api capabilities and the Android system information needed by htop-like tools; done would require a defined API addition and a separately specified terminal tool that can display the missing values.
