Htop is an excellent interactive system monitor process viewer and process manager. It is a modern and good-looking replacement to traditional and old-fashioned TOP found in every UNIX/LINUX systems.

But I saw this (!) exclamation mark next to uptime and confused what it is at first…
But when I read their code as well as documentations, I found that htop adds an exclamation mark if the uptime is greater than 100 days. Here is code copy that shows us that exclamation mark.
int UptimeMeter_attributes[] = {
UPTIME
};
static void UptimeMeter_setValues(Meter* this, char* buffer, int len) {
double uptime = 0;
FILE* fd = fopen(PROCDIR "/uptime", "r");
if (fd) {
fscanf(fd, "%64lf", &uptime);
fclose(fd);
}
int totalseconds = (int) ceil(uptime);
int seconds = totalseconds % 60;
int minutes = (totalseconds/60) % 60;
int hours = (totalseconds/3600) % 24;
int days = (totalseconds/86400);
this->values[0] = days;
if (days > this->total) {
this->total = days;
}
char daysbuf[15];
if (days > 100) {
sprintf(daysbuf, "%d days(!), ", days);
} else if (days > 1) {
sprintf(daysbuf, "%d days, ", days);
} else if (days == 1) {
sprintf(daysbuf, "1 day, ");
} else {
daysbuf[0] = '\0';
}
snprintf(buffer, len, "%s%02d:%02d:%02d", daysbuf, hours, minutes, seconds);
}
MeterClass UptimeMeter_class = {
.super = {
.extends = Class(Meter),
.delete = Meter_delete
},
.setValues = UptimeMeter_setValues,
.defaultMode = TEXT_METERMODE,
.total = 100.0,
.attributes = UptimeMeter_attributes,
.name = "Uptime",
.uiName = "Uptime",
.caption = "Uptime: "
};
I hope you get it now why it is showing that exclamation mark there.
