Q:

Is there any way of getting description of processes in linux?

In windows 7's task manager, we can get a short description of a running process:
See this (Picture source)
Can we get something similar?
One way could be to create a script, which will search the man pages or in the internet for all processes. Is there any better way?
It would be better, if I can get these features in gnome-system-monitor or in KSysGuard
A possible duplicate, but it seems to be cumbersome....

A:

Linux doesn't require processes to give a human-readable description, so there is no such thing, sorry.
Your best bet for finding out what a process does would be to simply search for it online (Google etc).
