30.Os
31.Sh NAME
32.Nm procstat
33.Nd get detailed process information
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35.Nm
36.Op Fl h
37.Op Fl n
38.Op Fl C
39.Op Fl w Ar interval
40.Op Fl b | c | e | f | i | j | k | l | s | t | v | x
41.Op Fl a | Ar pid | Ar core ...
42.Sh DESCRIPTION
43The
44.Nm
45utility displays detailed information about the processes identified by the
46.Ar pid
47arguments, or if the
48.Fl a
49flag is used, all processes.
50It can also display information extracted from a process core file, if
51the core file is specified as the argument.
52.Pp
53By default, basic process statistics are printed; one of the following
54options may be specified in order to select more detailed process information
55for printing:
56.Bl -tag -width indent
57.It Fl b
58Display binary information for the process.
59.It Fl c
60Display command line arguments for the process.
61.It Fl e
62Display environment variables for the process.
63.It Fl f
64Display file descriptor information for the process.
65.It Fl i
66Display signal pending and disposition information for the process.
67.It Fl j
68Display signal pending and blocked information for the process threads.
69.It Fl k
70Display the stacks of kernel threads in the process, excluding stacks of
71threads currently running on a CPU and threads with stacks swapped to disk.
72If the flag is repeated, function offsets as well as function names are
73printed.
74.It Fl l
75Display resource limits for the process.
76.It Fl s
77Display security credential information for the process.
78.It Fl t
79Display thread information for the process.
80.It Fl v
81Display virtual memory mappings for the process.
82.It Fl x
83Display ELF auxiliary vector for the process.
84.El
85.Pp
86All options generate output in the format of a table, the first field of
87which is the process ID to which the row of information corresponds.
88The
89.Fl h
90flag may be used to suppress table headers.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fl w
94flag may be used to specify a wait interval at which to repeat the printing
95of the requested process information.
96If the
97.Fl w
98flag is not specified, the output will not repeat.
99.Pp
100The
101.Fl C
102flag requests the printing of additional capability information in the file
103descriptor view.

458.Sh BUGS
459Some field values may include spaces, which limits the extent to which the
460output of
461.Nm
462may be mechanically parsed.
463.Pp
464The display of open file or memory mapping pathnames is implemented using the
465kernel's name cache.
466If a file system does not use the name cache, or the path to a file is not in
467the cache, a path will not be displayed.
468.Pp
469.Nm
470currently supports extracting data only from a live kernel, and not from
471kernel crash dumps.
