PROCSTAT(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		   PROCSTAT(1)

NAME
     procstat -- get detailed process information

SYNOPSIS
     procstat [-h] [-n]	[-w interval]
	      [-b | -c | -f | -i | -j |	-k | -s	| -t | -v] [-a | pid ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The procstat utility displays detailed information	about the processes
     identified	by the pid arguments, or if the	-a flag	is used, all pro-
     cesses.

     By	default, basic process statistics are printed; one of the following
     options may be specified in order to select more detailed process infor-
     mation for	printing:

     -b	     Display binary information	for the	process.

     -c	     Display command line arguments for	the process.

     -f	     Display file descriptor information for the process.

     -i	     Display signal pending and	disposition information	for the
	     process.

     -j	     Display signal pending and	blocked	information for	the process
	     threads.

     -k	     Display the stacks	of kernel threads in the process, excluding
	     stacks of threads currently running on a CPU and threads with
	     stacks swapped to disk.  If the flag is repeated, function	off-
	     sets as well as function names are	printed.

     -s	     Display security credential information for the process.

     -t	     Display thread information	for the	process.

     -v	     Display virtual memory mappings for the process.

     All options generate output in the	format of a table, the first field of
     which is the process ID to	which the row of information corresponds.  The
     -h	flag may be used to suppress table headers.

     The -w flag may be	used to	specify	a wait interval	at which to repeat the
     printing of the requested process information.  If	the -w flag is not
     specified,	the output will	not repeat.

     Some information, such as VM and file descriptor information, is avail-
     able only to the owner of a process or the	superuser.

   Binary Information
     Display the process ID, command, and path to the process binary:

     PID     process ID
     COMM    command
     OSREL   osreldate for process binary
     PATH    path to process binary (if	available)

   Command Line	Arguments
     Display the process ID, command, and command line arguments:

     PID     process ID
     COMM    command
     ARGS    command line arguments (if	available)

   File	Descriptors
     Display detailed information about	each file descriptor referenced	by a
     process, including	the process ID,	command, file descriptor number, and
     per-file descriptor object	information, such as object type and file sys-
     tem path:

     PID     process ID
     COMM    command
     FD	     file descriptor number or cwd/root/jail
     T	     file descriptor type
     V	     vnode type
     FLAGS   file descriptor flags
     REF     file descriptor reference count
     OFFSET  file descriptor offset
     PRO     network protocol
     NAME    file path or socket addresses (if available)

     The following file	descriptor types may be	displayed:

     c	crypto
     f	fifo
     h	shared memory
     k	kqueue
     m	message	queue
     p	pipe
     s	socket
     t	pseudo-terminal	master
     v	vnode

     The following vnode types may be displayed:

     -	not a vnode
     b	block device
     c	character device
     f	fifo
     l	symbolic link
     s	socket
     x	revoked	device

     The following file	descriptor flags may be	displayed:

     r	read
     w	write
     a	append
     s	async
     f	fsync
     n	non-blocking
     d	direct I/O
     l	lock held

   Signal Disposition Information
     Display signal pending and	disposition for	a process:

     PID    process ID
     COMM   command
     SIG    signal name
     FLAGS  process signal disposition details,	three symbols
	    P  if signal is pending in the global process queue, - otherwise
	    I  if signal delivery disposition is SIGIGN, - otherwise
	    C  if signal delivery is to	catch it, - otherwise

     If	-n switch is given, the	signal numbers are shown instead of signal
     names.

   Thread Signal Information
     Display signal pending and	blocked	for a process threads:

     PID    process ID
     COMM   command
     TID    thread ID
     SIG    signal name
     FLAGS  thread signal delivery status, two symbols
	    P  if signal is pending for	the thread, - otherwise
	    B  if signal is blocked in the thread signal mask, - if not
	       blocked

     The -n switch has the same	effect as for the -i switch, the signals num-
     bers are shown instead of signal names.

   Kernel Thread Stacks
     Display kernel thread stacks for a	process, allowing further interpreta-
     tion of thread wait channels.  If the -k flag is repeated,	function off-
     sets, not just function names, are	printed.

     This feature requires options STACK or options DDB	to be compiled into
     the kernel.

     PID     process ID
     TID     thread ID
     COMM    command
     TDNAME  thread name

     meta-data,	and mapped object information:

     PID     process ID

     PRES    private resident pages
     REF     reference count
     SHD     shadow page count
     FL	     mapping flags
     TP	     VM	object type

     The following protection flags may	be displayed:

BUGS
     Some field	values may include spaces, which limits	the extent to which
     the output	of procstat may	be mechanically	parsed.

     The display of open file or memory	mapping	pathnames is implemented using
     the kernel's name cache.  If a file system	does not use the name cache,
     or	the path to a file is not in the cache,	a path will not	be displayed.

     procstat currently	supports extracting data only from a live kernel, and
     not from kernel crash dumps.
