.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fBprstat\fR utility iteratively examines all active processes on the
system and reports statistics based on the selected output mode and sort order.
\fBprstat\fR provides options to examine only processes matching specified
\fBPID\fRs, \fBUID\fRs, zone \fBID\fRs, \fBCPU\fR \fBID\fRs, and processor set
\fBID\fRs.
.sp
.LP
The \fB-j\fR, \fB-k\fR, \fB-C\fR, \fB-p\fR, \fB-P\fR, \fB-u\fR, \fB-U\fR, and
\fB-z\fR options accept lists as arguments. Items in a list can be either
separated by commas or enclosed in quotes and separated by commas or spaces.
.sp
.LP
If you do not specify an option, \fBprstat\fR examines all processes and
reports statistics sorted by \fBCPU\fR usage.
.SH OPTIONS
.LP
The following options are supported:
.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-a\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Report information about processes and users. In this mode \fBprstat\fR
displays separate reports about processes and users at the same time.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-c\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n

.na
\fB\fB-C\fR \fIpsrsetlist\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Report only processes or lwps that are bound to processor sets in the given
list. Each processor set is identified by an integer as reported by
\fBpsrset\fR(1M). The load averages displayed are the sum of the load averages
of the specified processor sets (see \fBpset_getloadavg\fR(3C)). Processes with
one or more LWPs bound to processor sets in the given list are reported even
when the \fB-L\fR option is not used.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-d\fR \fBu | d\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Specify \fBu\fR for a printed representation of the internal representation of

.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-H\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Report information about home \fIlgroup\fR. In this mode, \fBprstat\fR adds an
extra column showing process or lwps home \fIlgroup\fR with the header LGRP.
.RE

.sp

.na
\fB\fB-j\fR \fIprojlist\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n

project \fBID\fR can be specified as either a project name or a numerical
project \fBID\fR. See \fBproject\fR(4).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-J\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6

.RE

.sp
.ne 2

\fB\fB-L\fR\fR
.ad
.sp .6

Report microstate process accounting information. In addition to all fields
listed in \fB-v\fR mode, this mode also includes the percentage of time the
process has spent processing system traps, text page faults, data page faults,
waiting for user locks and waiting for \fBCPU\fR (latency time).
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fB-n\fR \fIntop\fR[\fI,nbottom\fR]\fR
.ad
.sp .6
.RS 4n
Restrict number of output lines. The \fIntop\fR argument determines how many
lines of process or \fBlwp\fR statistics are reported, and the \fInbottom\fR
argument determines how many lines of user, task, project or zone statistics
are reported if the \fB-a\fR, \fB-t\fR, \fB-T\fR, \fB-J\fR or \fB-Z\fR options
are specified. By default, \fBprstat\fR displays as many lines of output that
fit in a window or terminal. When you specify the \fB-c\fR option or direct the
output to a file, the default values for \fBntop\fR and \fBnbottom\fR are
\fB15\fR and \fB5\fR.

.LP
The snapshot of system usage displayed by \fBprstat\fR is true only for a
split-second, and it may not be accurate by the time it is displayed. When the
\fB-m\fR option is specified, \fBprstat\fR tries to turn on microstate
accounting for each process; the original state is restored when \fBprstat\fR
exits. See \fBproc\fR(4) for additional information about the microstate
accounting facility.

.LP
The total memory size reported in the SWAP and RSS columns for groups of

processes with shared memory segments.
