NAME
       ps - process status

SYNOPSIS
       ps [[-]alxE]

OPTIONS
       -a   # Print all processes with controlling terminals

       -l   # Give long listing

       -x   # Include processes without a terminal

       -E   # Print kernel endpoint numbers where pids are normally printed

EXAMPLES
       ps		   # Show user's own processes in short format

       ps -axlE		   # Print all processes and tasks in long format

       ps ..xlE		   # Same -- the '-' is optional

DESCRIPTION
       Ps  prints  the status of active processes.  Normally only the caller's
       own processes are listed in short format (the PID, TTY,	TIME  and  CMD
       fields as explained below).  The long listing contains:

	 ST	  State:	   R: runnable		 W: waiting (on a mes‐
       sage)	       S: sleeping (i.e.,suspended on PM or VFS)	    Z:
       zombie		T: stopped

	 UID,  PID,  PPID,  PGRP       The  user,  process, parent process and
       process group ID's.

	 SZ	 Size of the process in kilobytes.

	 RECV	   Process/task on which a receiving  process  is  waiting  or
       sleeping.

	 TTY	       Controlling tty for the process.

	 TIME	   Process' cumulative (user + system) execution time.

	 CMD	 Command line arguments of the process.

       The  /proc file system is used to obtain the process information.  Ter‐
       minal names in /dev are used to generate the mnemonic names in the  TTY
       column, so ps is independent of terminal naming conventions.

NOTES
       The '-' option prefix is not required.  For marginal compatibility with
       System V usage, the hidden option -e means the same as -ax, and	-f  is
       the same as -l.
