PCPUSTAT(1) General Commands Manual PCPUSTAT(1) NAME pcpustat -- per-CPU usage statistics SYNOPSIS pcpustat [-ahinqstux] [-c count] [-d delimiter] [-p cpu] [-w wait] DESCRIPTION The pcpustat utility provides per-CPU usage statistics. This information is computed using the same algorithm as in top(1) with the -P option, but the output format is more similar to that of iostat(8) so that it can be piped and reformatted. OPTIONS -a, -all Include all usage statistics (same as -instu). This is the default if no specific statistics are selected. -c, -count count Sample statistics the specified number of times. If not specified, it defaults to 1 if -w is not specified, otherwise forever. -d, -delim delimiter Delimit columns with delimiter instead of justifying them with spaces. -h, -help Print the list of options and exit. -i, -idle Include idle time in the statistics. -n, -nice Include nice time in the statistics. -p, -cpu cpu Select processor cpu [0-n]. You may repeat the switch to select more than one CPU. The default is to include all CPUs. -q, -quiet Print no header, only the data. -s, -system Include system time in the statistics. -t, -interrupt Include interrupt time in the statistics. -u, -user Include user time in the statistics. -w, -wait wait Pause the specified number of seconds between updates. The default is 1. -x, -not Report the percentage of time not in each state. If specified, each percentage is subtracted from 100. The header (unless the -q option is selected) displays a "!" before each heading. OUTPUT FORMAT If the [-q] option is not specified, the first two lines of output will contain a header. The first line lists the CPUs, by number. If the options specify only one column of information per CPU, then this line will only contain the CPU numbers (starting with 0), otherwise it will contain the string "cpu " fol- lowed by the number. This heading will be right-justified over the columns that apply to that CPU, unless the [-d] option is specified (in which case the headers are also delimited). The second header line labels the columns within the output for each CPU. These labels can be any of the following: us % of cpu time in user mode ni % of cpu time in user mode running niced processes sy % of cpu time in system mode in % of cpu time in interrupt mode id % of cpu time in idle mode If the [-x] option was specified, then each of the above is prefixed by '!'. The remaining lines of output will be the percentage of time each CPU spent in each of the designated states since the previous line (or since pcpustat started, in the case of the first line). If the [-d] option is specified, then the string specified as its argument will occur between each column. Otherwise, enough spaces will be used to right-align each column under its heading.
