PS(1) PS(1) NAME ps - process (thread) status SYNOPSIS bind '#p' /prog ps DESCRIPTION Ps prints to the standard output information about all cur- rent Inferno processes. It looks in /prog for process sta- tus files; normally that requires that the prog(3) device has previously been bound there (as shown above), but it is also possible to import /prog from a remote machine. Each line of information printed consists of six columns: the process id, the process group id, the owner of the pro- cess, the run state of the process, the amount of memory used by the process, and the name of the module containing the currently running function. FILES /prog/*/status SOURCE /appl/cmd/ps.b SEE ALSO kill(1), stack(1), wm-deb(1), wm/task and wm/memory in wm- misc(1), prog(3) BUGS The amount reported as ``memory used'' does not accurately reflect the amount of memory referred to by the process, because the heap is shared.
