.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
displays a header line, followed by lines containing information about
|
|
all of your
|
|
processes that have controlling terminals.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A different set of processes can be selected for display by using any
|
|
combination of the
|
|
.Fl a , G , p , T , t
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl U
|
|
options.
|
|
If more than one of these options are given, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will select all processes which are matched by at least one of the
|
|
given options.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the processes which have been selected for display,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will usually display one line per process.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl H
|
|
option may result in multiple output lines (one line per thread) for
|
|
some processes.
|
|
By default all of these output lines are sorted first by controlling
|
|
terminal, then by process
|
|
.Tn ID .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl m , r , u ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
options will change the sort order.
|
|
If more than one sorting option was given, then the selected processes
|
|
will be sorted by the last sorting option which was specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For the processes which have been selected for display, the information
|
|
to display is selected based on a set of keywords (see the
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
.Fl O
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options).
|
|
The default output format includes, for each process, the process'
|
|
.Tn ID ,
|
|
controlling terminal, cpu time (including both user and system time),
|
|
state, and associated command.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The process file system (see
|
|
.Xr procfs 5 )
|
|
should be mounted when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is executed, otherwise not all information will be available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Display information about other users' processes as well as your own.
|
|
This will skip any processes which do not have a controlling teminal,
|
|
unless the
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
option is also specified.
|
|
This can be disabled by setting the
|
|
.Va security.bsd.see_other_uids
|
|
sysctl to zero.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Change the ``command'' column output to just contain the executable name,
|
|
rather than the full command line.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Change the way the cpu percentage is calculated by using a ``raw''
|
|
cpu calculation that ignores ``resident'' time (this normally has
|
|
no effect).
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Display the environment as well.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Show commandline and environment information about swapped out processes.
|
|
This option is honored only if the uid of the user is 0.
|
|
.It Fl G
|
|
Display information about processes which are running with the specified
|
|
real group
|
|
.Tn ID(s) .
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
Show all of the
|
|
.Em kernel visible
|
|
threads associated with each process. Depending on the threading package that
|
|
is in use, this may show only the process, only the kernel scheduled entities,
|
|
or all of the process threads.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Repeat the information header as often as necessary to guarantee one
|
|
header per page of information.
|
|
.It Fl j
|
|
Print information associated with the following keywords:
|
|
user, pid, ppid, pgid, jobc, state, tt, time and command.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
List the set of keywords available for the
|
|
.Fl O
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
options.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Display information associated with the following keywords:
|
|
uid, pid, ppid, cpu, pri, nice, vsz, rss, mwchan, state, tt, time
|
|
and command.
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
|
|
instead of the currently running system.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Sort by memory usage, instead of the combination of controlling
|
|
terminal and process
|
|
.Tn ID .
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default,
|
|
which is the kernel image the system has booted from.
|
|
.It Fl O
|
|
Add the information associated with the space or comma separated list
|
|
of keywords specified, after the process
|
|
.Tn ID ,
|
|
in the default information
|
|
display.
|
|
Keywords may be appended with an equals (``='') sign and a string.
|
|
This causes the printed header to use the specified string instead of
|
|
the standard header.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Display information associated with the space or comma separated
|
|
list of keywords specified.
|
|
Multiple keywords may also be given in the form of more than one
|
|
.Fl o
|
|
option.
|
|
Keywords may be appended with an equals (``='') sign and a string.
|
|
This causes the printed header to use the specified string instead of
|
|
the standard header.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Display information about processes which match the specified process
|
|
.Tn ID(s) .
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Sort by current cpu usage, instead of the combination of controlling
|
|
terminal and process
|
|
.Tn ID .
|
|
.It Fl S
|
|
Change the way the process time is calculated by summing all exited
|
|
children to their parent process.
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
Display information about processes attached to the device associated
|
|
with the standard input.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Display information about processes attached to the specified terminal
|
|
device(s).
|
|
.It Fl U
|
|
Display the processes belonging to the specified
|
|
.Ar username Ns (s) .
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Display information associated with the following keywords:
|
|
user, pid, %cpu, %mem, vsz, rss, tt, state, start, time and command.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl u
|
|
option implies the
|
|
.Fl r
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Display information associated with the following keywords:
|
|
pid, state, time, sl, re, pagein, vsz, rss, lim, tsiz,
|
|
%cpu, %mem and command.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option implies the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Use 132 columns to display information, instead of the default which
|
|
is your window size.
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
option is specified more than once,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use as many columns as necessary without regard for your window size.
|
|
.It Fl X
|
|
When displaying processes matched by other options, skip any processes
|
|
which do not have a controlling terminal.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
When displaying processes matched by other options, include processes
|
|
which do not have a controlling terminal.
|
|
This is the opposite of the
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
option.
|
|
If both
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
are specified in the same command, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use the one which was specified last.
|
|
.It Fl Z
|
|
Add label to the list of keywords for which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will display information.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A complete list of the available keywords are listed below.
|
|
Some of these keywords are further specified as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width lockname
|
|
.It %cpu
|
|
The cpu utilization of the process; this is a decaying average over up to
|
|
a minute of previous (real) time.
|
|
Since the time base over which this is computed varies (since processes may
|
|
be very young) it is possible for the sum of all
|
|
.Tn \&%CPU
|
|
fields to exceed 100%.
|
|
.It %mem
|
|
The percentage of real memory used by this process.
|
|
.It flags
|
|
The flags associated with the process as in
|

|
|
.It start
|
|
The time the command started.
|
|
If the command started less than 24 hours ago, the start time is
|
|
displayed using the ``%l:ps.1p'' format described in
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 .
|
|
If the command started less than 7 days ago, the start time is
|
|
displayed using the ``%a6.15p'' format.
|
|
Otherwise, the start time is displayed using the ``%e%b%y'' format.
|
|
.It state
|
|
The state is given by a sequence of characters, for example,

|
|
Additional characters after these, if any, indicate additional state
|
|
information:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
|
|
.It +
|
|
The process is in the foreground process group of its control terminal.
|

|
The process has raised
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
scheduling priority.
|
|
.It E
|
|
The process is trying to exit.
|
|
.It J
|
|
Marks a process which is in
|
|
.Xr jail 2 .
|
|
The hostname of the prison can be found in
|
|
.Ql /proc/<pid>/status .
|
|
.It L
|
|
The process has pages locked in core (for example, for raw
|
|
.Tn I/O ) .
|
|
.It N
|
|
The process has reduced
|
|
.Tn CPU
|
|
scheduling priority (see
|
|
.Xr setpriority 2 ) .
|
|
.It s
|
|
The process is a session leader.
|
|
.It V
|
|
The process is suspended during a
|
|
.Xr vfork 2 .
|
|
.It W
|
|
The process is swapped out.
|
|
.It X
|
|
The process is being traced or debugged.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It tt
|
|
An abbreviation for the pathname of the controlling terminal, if any.
|
|
The abbreviation consists of the three letters following
|
|
.Pa /dev/tty ,
|
|
or, for the console, ``con''.
|
|
This is followed by a ``-'' if the process can no longer reach that
|
|
controlling terminal (i.e., it has been revoked).
|
|
.It wchan
|
|
The event (an address in the system) on which a process waits.
|
|
When printed numerically, the initial part of the address is
|
|
trimmed off and the result is printed in hex, for example, 0x80324000 prints
|
|
as 324000.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When printing using the command keyword, a process that has exited and
|
|
has a parent that has not yet waited for the process (in other words, a zombie)
|
|
is listed as ``<defunct>'', and a process which is blocked while trying
|
|
to exit is listed as ``<exiting>''.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
makes an educated guess as to the file name and arguments given when the
|
|
process was created by examining memory or the swap area.
|
|
The method is inherently somewhat unreliable and in any event a process
|
|
is entitled to destroy this information, so the names cannot be depended
|
|
on too much.
|
|
The ucomm (accounting) keyword can, however, be depended on.
|
|

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
For historical reasons,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility under
|
|
.Fx
|
|
supports a different set of options from what is described by
|
|
.St -p1003.2 ,
|
|
and what is supported on non-BSD operating systems.
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Since
|
|
.Nm
|
|
cannot run faster than the system and is run as any other scheduled
|
|
process, the information it displays can never be exact.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not correctly display argument lists containing multibyte
|
|
characters.
