PSTAT(8)                                                              PSTAT(8)


NAME
       pstat - print system facts

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/pstat -aixptufT [ suboptions ] [ system ] [ corefile ]

DESCRIPTION
       Pstat interprets the contents of certain system tables.  If corefile is
       given, the tables  are  sought  there,  otherwise  in  /dev/kmem.   The
       required  namelist  is  taken  from /vmunix unless system 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    print information about a user process; the next argument is  its
             address  as  given by ps(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 succes‐
             fully 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

       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  structure  for
             this file.
       OFFSET
             The file offset (see lseek(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.

FILES
       /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 dynam‐
       ically allocated.
