PSTAT(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		      PSTAT(8)

NAME
     pstat, swapinfo --	display	system data structures

SYNOPSIS
     pstat [-Tfknst] [-M core] [-N system]

     swapinfo [-k] [-M core] [-N system]

DESCRIPTION
     Pstat displays open file entry, swap space	utilization, terminal state,
     and vnode data structures.

     If	invoked	as swapinfo the	-s option is implied, and only the -k option
     is	legal.

     The following options are available:

     -n	     Print devices out by major/minor instead of name.

     -k	     Print sizes in kilobytes, regardless of the setting of the
	     BLOCKSIZE environment variable.

     -T	     Print the number of used and free slots in	several	system tables.
	     This is useful for	checking to see	how large system tables	have
	     become if the system is under heavy load.

     -f	     Print the open file table with these headings:

	     LOC     The core location of this table entry.

	     TYPE    The type of object	the file table entry points to.

	     FLG     Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:

		     R	     open for reading
		     W	     open for writing
		     A	     open for appending
		     S	     shared lock present
		     X	     exclusive lock present
		     I	     signal pgrp when data ready

	     CNT     Number of processes that know this	open file.

	     MSG     Number of messages	outstanding for	this file.

	     DATA    The location of the vnode table entry or socket structure
		     for this file.

	     OFFSET  The file offset (see lseek(2)).

     -s	     Print information about swap space	usage on all the swap areas
	     compiled into the kernel.	The first column is the	device name of
	     the partition.  The next column is	the total space	available in
	     the partition.  The Used column indicates the total blocks	used
	     so	far;  the Available column indicates how much space is remain-
	     ing on each partition.  The Capacity reports the percentage of
	     space used.

	     If	more than one partition	is configured into the system, totals
	     for all of	the statistics will be reported	in the final line of
	     the report.

	     If	you supply the option again, as	in -ss,	the system will	dis-
	     play a breakdown of the swap bitmap/radix-tree.

     -t	     Print table for terminals with these headings:

	     RAW     Number of characters in raw input queue.

	     CAN     Number of characters in canonicalized input queue.

	     OUT     Number of characters in output queue.

	     MODE    See tty(4).

	     ADDR    Physical device address.

	     DEL     Number of delimiters (newlines) in	canonicalized input
		     queue.

	     COL     Calculated	column position	of terminal.

	     STATE   Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:

		     T	     delay timeout in progress
		     W	     waiting for open to complete
		     O	     open
		     F	     outq has been flushed during DMA
		     C	     carrier is	on
		     c	     connection	open
		     B	     busy doing	output
		     A	     process is	waiting	for space in output queue
		     a	     process is	waiting	for output to complete
		     X	     open for exclusive	use
		     S	     output stopped (ixon flow control)
		     m	     output stopped (carrier flow control)
		     o	     output stopped (CTS flow control)
		     d	     output stopped (DSR flow control)
		     K	     input stopped
		     Y	     send SIGIO	for input events
		     D	     state for lowercase `\' work
		     E	     within a `\.../' for PRTRUB
		     L	     next character is literal
		     P	     retyping suspended	input (PENDIN)
		     N	     counting tab width, ignore	FLUSHO
		     l	     block mode	input routine in use
		     s	     i/o being snooped
		     Z	     connection	lost

	     SESS    Kernel address of the session structure.

	     PGID    Process group for which this is controlling terminal.

	     DISC    Line discipline; `term' for TTYDISC or `ntty' for NTTY-
		     DISC or `tab' for TABLDISC	or `slip' for SLIPDISC or
		     `ppp' for PPPDISC.

     -M	     Extract values associated with the	name list from the specified
	     core instead of the default /dev/kmem.

     -N	     Extract the name list from	the specified system instead of	the
	     default /kernel.

FILES
     /kernel	  namelist
     /dev/mem	  default source of tables
