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
     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
     KSTACK  kernel thread call stack

   Security Credentials

     RUID    real user ID
     SVUID   saved user ID
     EGID    effective group ID
     RGID    real group ID
     SVGID   saved group ID
     GROUPS  group set

   Thread Information
     Display per-thread information, including process ID, per-thread ID,
     name, CPU, and execution state:

     PID     process ID
     TID     thread ID
     COMM    command
     TDNAME  thread name
     CPU     current or most recent CPU run on
     PRI     thread priority
     STATE   thread state
     WCHAN   thread wait channel

   Virtual Memory Mappings
     Display process virtual memory mappings, including addresses, mapping
     meta-data, and mapped object information:

     PID     process ID
     START   starting address of mapping
     END     ending address of mapping
     PRT     protection flags
     RES     resident pages
     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:

     r	read
     w	write
     x	execute

     The following VM object types may be displayed:

     --	 none

     df	 default
     dv	 device
     ph	 physical
     sw	 swap

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.
