Activity monitor allows users to see the cpu usage on a per-core basis (for multicore machines, e.g. my MacBook Pro). Is there a way to find the percent usage of each core/processor via the command line?

I've installed htop for this purpose. In order to install on OS X (10.8.4), I used homebrew, which installed the htop package (
brew install htop).Despite the fact that this is via the command line, it is still a graphical output within the terminal.
