20 .SH DESCRIPTION
21 .LP
22 The \fBprstat\fR utility iteratively examines all active processes on the
23 system and reports statistics based on the selected output mode and sort order.
24 \fBprstat\fR provides options to examine only processes matching specified
25 \fBPID\fRs, \fBUID\fRs, zone \fBID\fRs, \fBCPU\fR \fBID\fRs, and processor set
26 \fBID\fRs.
27 .sp
28 .LP
29 The \fB-j\fR, \fB-k\fR, \fB-C\fR, \fB-p\fR, \fB-P\fR, \fB-u\fR, \fB-U\fR, and
30 \fB-z\fR options accept lists as arguments. Items in a list can be either
31 separated by commas or enclosed in quotes and separated by commas or spaces.
32 .sp
33 .LP
34 If you do not specify an option, \fBprstat\fR examines all processes and
35 reports statistics sorted by \fBCPU\fR usage.

68 Report only processes or lwps that are bound to processor sets in the given
69 list. Each processor set is identified by an integer as reported by
70 \fBpsrset\fR(8). The load averages displayed are the sum of the load averages
71 of the specified processor sets (see \fBpset_getloadavg\fR(3C)). Processes with
72 one or more LWPs bound to processor sets in the given list are reported even
73 when the \fB-L\fR option is not used.

179 are reported if the \fB-a\fR, \fB-t\fR, \fB-T\fR, \fB-J\fR or \fB-Z\fR options
180 are specified. By default, \fBprstat\fR displays as many lines of output that
181 fit in a window or terminal. When you specify the \fB-c\fR option or direct the

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

879 The total memory size reported in the SWAP and RSS columns for groups of
880 processes can sometimes overestimate the actual amount of memory used by
881 processes with shared memory segments.
