NAME
pstat - print system facts
SYNOPSIS
/etc/pstat -aixptufT [ suboptions ] [ system ] [ corefile ]
DESCRIPTION
_P_s_t_a_t interprets the contents of certain system tables. If
_c_o_r_e_f_i_l_e is given, the tables are sought there, otherwise in
/_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m. The required namelist is taken from /_v_m_u_n_i_x
unless _s_y_s_t_e_m is specified. Options are
-a Under -p, describe all process slots rather than just
active ones.
-i Print the inode table with the these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
FLAGS Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:
L locked
U update time (_f_s(5)) must be corrected
A access time must be corrected
M file system is mounted here
W wanted by another process (L flag is on)
T contains a text file
C changed time must be corrected
S shared lock applied
E exclusive lock applied
Z someone waiting for a lock
CNT Number of open file table entries for this inode.
DEV Major and minor device number of file system in which
this inode resides.
RDC Reference count of shared locks on the inode.
WRC Reference count of exclusive locks on the inode (this
may be > 1 if, for example, a file descriptor is
inherited across a fork).
INO I-number within the device.
MODE Mode bits, see _c_h_m_o_d(2).
NLK Number of links to this inode.
UID User ID of owner.
SIZ/DEV
Number of bytes in an ordinary file, or major and
minor device of special file.
-x Print the text table with these headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
FLAGS Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus:
T _p_t_r_a_c_e(2) in effect
W text not yet written on swap device
L loading in progress
K locked

w wanted (L flag is on)
P resulted from demand-page-from-inode exec format
(see _e_x_e_c_v_e(2))
DADDR Disk address in swap, measured in multiples of 512
bytes.
CADDR Head of a linked list of loaded processes using this
text segment.

bytes.

bytes.
IPTR Core location of corresponding inode.
CNT Number of processes using this text segment.
CCNT Number of processes in core using this text segment.
FORW Forward link in free list.
BACK Backward link in free list.
-p Print process table for active processes with these
headings:
LOC The core location of this table entry.
S Run state encoded thus:
0 no process
1 waiting for some event
3 runnable
4 being created
5 being terminated
6 stopped (by signal or under trace)
F Miscellaneous state variables, or'ed together (hexade-
cimal):
0001 loaded
0002 the scheduler process
0004 locked for swap out
0008 swapped out
0010 traced
0020 used in tracing
0080 in page-wait
0100 prevented from swapping during _f_o_r_k(2)
0200 will restore old mask after taking signal
0400 exiting
0800 doing physical I/O (bio.c)
1000 process resulted from a _v_f_o_r_k(2) which is not
yet complete

PSTAT(8) UNIX Programmer's Manual PSTAT(8)
2000 another flag for _v_f_o_r_k(2)
4000 process has no virtual memory, as it is a
parent in the context of _v_f_o_r_k(2)
8000 process is demand paging data pages from its
text inode.
10000 process using sequential VM patterns
20000 process using random VM patterns
100000 using old 4.1-compatible signal semantics
200000 process needs profiling tick
400000 process is scanning descriptors during select
1000000 process page tables have changed
POIP number of pages currently being pushed out from this
process.
PRI Scheduling priority, see _s_e_t_p_r_i_o_r_i_t_y(2).
SIG Signals received (signals 1-32 coded in bits 0-31),
UID Real user ID.
SLP Amount of time process has been blocked.
TIM Time resident in seconds; times over 127 coded as 127.
CPU Weighted integral of CPU time, for scheduler.
NI Nice level, see _s_e_t_p_r_i_o_r_i_t_y(2).
PGRP Process number of root of process group.
PID The process ID number.
PPID The process ID of parent process.
ADDR If in core, the page frame number of the first page of
the `u-area' of the process. If swapped out, the
position in the swap area measured in multiples of 512
bytes.
RSS Resident set size - the number of physical page frames
allocated to this process.
SRSS RSS at last swap (0 if never swapped).
SIZE Virtual size of process image (data+stack) in multi-
ples of 512 bytes.
WCHAN Wait channel number of a waiting process.
LINK Link pointer in list of runnable processes.
TEXTP If text is pure, pointer to location of text table
entry.
-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 putput queue.
MODE See _t_t_y(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
B busy doing output
A process is awaiting output
X open for exclusive use
S output stopped
H hangup on close
PGRP Process group for which this is controlling terminal.
DISC Line discipline; blank is old tty OTTYDISC or ``new
tty'' for NTTYDISC or ``net'' for NETLDISC (see
_b_k(4)).
-u print information about a user process; the next argu-
ment is its address as given by _p_s(1). The process
must be in main memory, or the file used can be a core
image and the address 0. Only the fields located in
the first page cluster can be located succesfully if
the process is in main memory.
-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 inode table entry or socket struc-
ture for this file.
OFFSET
The file offset (see _l_s_e_e_k(2)).
-s print information about swap space usage: the number of
(1k byte) pages used and free is given as well as the number
of used pages which belong to text images.
-T prints the number of used and free slots in the several
system tables and is useful for checking to see how full
system tables have become if the system is under heavy load.

/vmunix namelist
/dev/kmem default source of tables

BUGS
It would be very useful if the system recorded "maximum
occupancy" on the tables reported by -T; even more useful if
these tables were dynamically allocated.
