NAME
    ps - process status

SYNOPSIS
    ps [-alx ]

DESCRIPTION
    PS prints information about active processes. It does so by
    examining kernel, mm, and fs address spaces.  The 'a' option
    asks for information about all processes with terminals
    (normally only ones own processes are displayed); 'x' displays
    processes even without terminals; 'l' asks for the long listing.
    The normal short listing contains the PID, TTY, TIME, and the CMD.

    The long listing contains:

    F    -    01:  in use; 02:  waiting; 04:  hanging; 10:  paused;
            20:  alarm on;  40: seperate I & D spaces.

    S    -    s - suspended, r - running (process FS status)

    UID    -    owners uid

    PID    -    process id

    PPID    -    parents process id

    ADDR    -    core address(in hex)

    SZ    -    size of code+data+stack(in hex)

    WCHAN    -    the pid or name of the process its waiting on

    TTY    -    owning tty

    TIME    -    system & user time in seconds for the process

    CMD    -    command name of process


FILES
    /dev/mem    core memory
    /etc/maint.info    kernel, fs, and mm maintence info

PORTABILITY

    Heavily dependent on the basic structure of minix on 8088.
