 CPU stats description:
 
-* user: percent time spent in user space
-> User CPU time is time spent on the processor running your program's code (or code in libraries)
-* system: percent time spent in kernel space
-> System CPU time is the time spent running code in the operating system kernel
-* idle: percent of CPU used by any program
-> Every program or task that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle.
-* nice: percent time occupied by user level processes with a positive nice value
-> The time the CPU has spent running users' processes that have been "niced"
-* irq: percent time spent servicing/handling hardware/software interrupts
-> Time servicing interrupts (hardware + software)
-* iowait: percent time spent in wait (on disk)
-> Time spent by the CPU waiting for a IO operations to complete
-* steal: percent time in involuntary wait by virtual CPU
-> Steal time is the percentage of time a virtual CPU waits for a real CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor
-* ctx_sw: number of context switches (voluntary + involuntary) per second
-> A context switch is a procedure that a computer's CPU (central processing unit) follows to change from one task (or process) to another while ensuring that the tasks do not conflict
-* inter: number of interrupts per second
-* sw_inter: number of software interrupts per second. Always set to 0 on Windows and SunOS.
-* syscal: number of system calls per second. Do not displayed on Linux (always 0).
+- **user**: percent time spent in user space. User CPU time is the time
+  spent on the processor running your program's code (or code in
+  libraries).
+- **system**: percent time spent in kernel space. System CPU time is the
+  time spent running code in the Operating System kernel.
+- **idle**: percent of CPU used by any program. Every program or task
+  that runs on a computer system occupies a certain amount of processing
+  time on the CPU. If the CPU has completed all tasks it is idle.
+- **nice** *(\*nix)*: percent time occupied by user level processes with
+  a positive nice value. The time the CPU has spent running users'
+  processes that have been *niced*.
+- **irq** *(Linux, \*BSD)*: percent time spent servicing/handling
+  hardware/software interrupts. Time servicing interrupts (hardware +
+  software).
+- **iowait** *(Linux)*: percent time spent by the CPU waiting for I/O
+  operations to complete.
+- **steal** *(Linux)*: percentage of time a virtual CPU waits for a real
+  CPU while the hypervisor is servicing another virtual processor.
+- **ctx_sw**: number of context switches (voluntary + involuntary) per
+  second. A context switch is a procedure that a computer's CPU (central
+  processing unit) follows to change from one task (or process) to
+  another while ensuring that the tasks do not conflict.
+- **inter**: number of interrupts per second.
+- **sw_inter**: number of software interrupts per second. Always set to
+  0 on Windows and SunOS.
+- **syscal**: number of system calls per second. Do not displayed on
+  Linux (always 0).
