XPS provides a graphical display of CPU and I/O usage by the processes
that are currently executing. The display is updated dynamically.
Before invoking XPS for the first time, make sure that /opt/langtools/bin
is in your search PATH. This is required to enable the command xps. To
access the manual page for the xps(1) command, you must have the
/opt/langtools/share/man directory in your MANPATH.
