NAME
pstat - print system facts
SYNOPSIS
/etc/pstat [ -afipstuxT ] [ suboptions ] [ file ] [ namelist ]
DESCRIPTION
Pstat interprets the contents of certain system tables. If file is
given, the tables are sought there, otherwise in The required namelist
is taken from namelist, default Options are
-a Under -p, describe all process slots rather than just active
ones.
-i Print the inode table with the these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
FLAGS Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:
L locked
U modified time (filsys(5)) must be corrected
A access time must be corrected
O file was opened
W wanted by another process (L flag is on)
T contains an active text
CNT Number of active references to this inode.
FS File system type, see fmount(2).
DEVICE Device number of file system in which this inode resides.
INO I-number within the file system.
MODE Mode, see stat(2).
NLN Number of links to this inode.
UID Userid of owner.
SPTR Core location of corresponding stream header, 0 if this
is not a stream.
SIZ/DEV
Number of bytes in an ordinary file, or device number of
a special file.
MROOT Core location of root inode of file system mounted here,
0 if none.
-x
Print the text table with these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
FLAGS Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:
P resulted from demand-page-from-inode exec format, see
exec(2)
T traced through proc(4)
W text not yet written to swap device
L loading in progress
K locked
w wanted (L flag is on)
DADDR Disk address in swap, in multiples of 512 bytes.
CADDR Head of a linked list of loaded processes using this text seg-
ment.
RSS Size of physical memory occupied by text segment, in multiples
of 512 bytes.
SIZE Size of text segment, in multiples of 512 bytes.
IPTR Core location of corresponding inode.
CNT Number of processes using this text segment.
CCNT Number of processes in core using this text segment.
-p
Print process table for active processes with these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
S Run state encoded thus:
0 no process
1 waiting for some event
3 runnable
4 being created
5 being terminated
6 stopped under trace
F Miscellaneous state variables, or-ed together (hexadecimal):
0000001
loaded in memory
0000002
special system process (swapper or pager)
0000004
being swapped out
0000008
obscure swapout flag
0000010
traced
0000020
used in tracing
0000040
locked in core
0000080
waiting for pagein
0000100
prevented from swapping during fork(2)
0000200
gathering pages for raw i/o
0000400
exiting
0008000
associated text is demand paged from file
0030000
anomalous paging behaviour expected, see vlimit in depre-
cated(2)
0040000
in a sleep which will time out
0400000
in select(2)
0800000
traced via proc(4)
1000000
i/o via proc in progress
2000000
stop on exec
4000000
wanted by proc after pagein
ADDR The core location of the page table entry for the first page of
the `u-area.'
PRI Scheduling priority; smaller numbers run first.
SIG Signals received; signals 1-32 coded in bits 0-31.
UID Real userid.
SLP Time blocked in seconds; times over 127 coded as 127.
TIM Time resident in seconds; times over 127 coded as 127.
CPU Weighted integral of CPU time, for scheduler.
NI Nice level, see nice(2).
PGRP Process group number.
PID Process ID number.
PPID Process ID of parent process.
RSS Number of physical page frames allocated to this process.
SRSS RSS at last swap, 0 if never swapped.
SIZE Virtual size of process image (data+stack) in multiples of 512
bytes.
WCHAN Event address if waiting.
LINK Pointer to next entry in list of runnable processes.
TEXTP If text is pure, pointer to location of text table entry.
CLKT Countdown for alarm(2) measured in seconds.
-u
Print information about a user process; the next argument is its ad-
dress as given by under -p above. The process must be in main memory,
or the file used can be a core image (core(5)) and the address 0.
-f
Print the open file table with these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
FLG Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:
R open for reading
W open for writing
CNT Number of processes that know this open file.
INO The core location of the inode table entry for this file.
OFFS The file offset, see lseek(2).
-s
Print information about swap space usage: the number of 1024 byte pages
used and free, and the number of pages belonging to text images.
-T
Print the number of used and free slots in several system tables; use-
ful to see if they are nearly full.

default source of tables
