If .Ar core is given, the information is sought there, otherwise in the running kernel via .Pa /dev/kmem . The required namelist is taken from the running kernel unless .Ar system is specified. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl d Ar format Ar symbol ... Print the values of .Ar symbol using the specified format. .Ar format is a .Xr printf 3 Ns -style format, without the leading percent or precision specifiers, such as .Ar s , .Ar p , or .Ar llx . Symbol names are read from the remaining command line arguments. Addresses may also be specified in hex. .Pp The .Fl d option requires the ability to open .Pa /dev/kmem which may be restricted based upon the value of the .Ar kern.allowkmem .Xr sysctl 8 . .It Fl f Print the open file table with these headings: .Bl -tag -width indent .It LOC The core location of this table entry. .It TYPE The type of object the file table entry points to. .It FLG Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It R open for reading .It W open for writing .It A open for appending .It L exclusive or shared lock present .It I signal pgrp when data ready .It l file descriptor slot is larval .El .It CNT Number of processes that know this open file. .It MSG Number of messages outstanding for this file. .It DATA The location of the vnode table entry or socket structure for this file. .It OFFSET The file offset (see .Xr lseek 2 ) . This information is only visible to the user or superuser. .El .It Fl k Use 1K-byte blocks. .It Fl M Ar core Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core instead of the running kernel. .It Fl N Ar system Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the running kernel. .It Fl n Print devices by major/minor number rather than by name. .It Fl s Print information about swap space usage on all the swap areas compiled into the kernel. The first column is the device name of the partition. The next column is the total space available in the partition. The .Ar Used column indicates the total blocks used so far; the .Ar Available column indicates how much space is remaining on each partition. The .Ar Capacity reports the percentage of space used. .Pp If more than one partition is configured into the system, totals for all of the statistics will be reported in the final line of the report. .It Fl T Prints the number of used and free slots for open files, used vnodes, and swap space. It is useful for checking to see how large system tables become if the system is under heavy load. .It Fl t Print table for terminals with these headings: .Bl -tag -width indent .It LINE Physical device name. .It RAW Number of characters in raw input queue. .It CAN Number of characters in canonicalized input queue. .It OUT Number of characters in output queue. .It HWT High water mark for output. .It LWT Low water mark for output. .It COL Calculated column position of terminal. .It STATE Miscellaneous state variables encoded thus: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It W waiting for open to complete .It O open .It C carrier is on .It T delay timeout in progress .It F outq has been flushed during DMA .It B busy doing output .It A process is awaiting output .It X open for exclusive use .It S output stopped .It K further input blocked .It Y tty in async I/O mode .It D next character is escaped lowercase special .It E printing erase sequence .It L next character is literal .It P retyping suspended input .It N counting tab width, ignoring output flush .El .It SESS Enclosing session. .It PGID Process group for which this is controlling terminal. .It DISC Line discipline: .Ql term for TTYDISC (see .Xr termios 4 ) , .Ql ppp for PPPDISC (see .Xr ppp 4 ) and .Ql nmea for NMEADISC (see .Xr nmea 4 ) . .El .It Fl v Print the active vnodes. Each group of vnodes corresponding to a particular filesystem is preceded by a two line header. The first line consists of the following: .Pp .No *** MOUNT Em fstype from on .Em on fsflags .Pp where .Em fstype is one of the file systems supported by the kernel; .Em from is the partition the filesystem is mounted from; .Em on is the directory the filesystem is mounted on; and .Em fsflags is a list of optional flags applied to the mount (see .Xr mount 8 ) . The second line is a header for the individual fields, the first part of which are fixed, and the second part are filesystem type specific. The headers common to all vnodes are: .Bl -tag -width indent .It ADDR Location of this vnode. .It TYP File type. .It VFLAG A list of letters representing vnode flags: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It R VROOT root of its file system. .It T VTEXT pure text prototype. .It S VSYSTEM vnode being used by kernel. .It I VISTTY vnode represents a tty. .It L VXLOCK locked to change underlying type. .It W VXWANT process is waiting for vnode. .It B VBWAIT waiting for output to complete. .It A VALIASED vnode has an alias. .It F VONFREELIST vnode is on a free list. .It l VLOCKSWORK FS supports locking discipline. .It s VONSYNCLIST vnode is on syncer worklist. .El .It USE The number of references to this vnode. .It HOLD The number of I/O buffers held by this vnode. .It FILEID The vnode fileid. In the case of .Em ffs this is the inode number. .It IFLAG Miscellaneous filesystem specific state variables encoded thus: .Bl -tag -width indent .It "For ffs:" .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It A access time must be corrected .It C changed time must be corrected .It U modification time must be corrected .It R has a rename in progress .It M contains modifications .It m contains lazy modifications .It S shared lock applied .It E exclusive lock applied .El .It "For nfs:" .Bl -tag -width indent -compact .It W waiting for I/O buffer flush to complete .It P I/O buffers being flushed .It M locally modified data exists .It E an earlier write failed .It X non-cacheable lease (nqnfs) .It O write lease (nqnfs) .It G lease was evicted (nqnfs) .It A special file accessed .It U special file updated .It C special file times changed .El .El .It SIZ/RDEV Number of bytes in an ordinary file, or major and minor device of special file. .El .Pp The .Fl v option requires the ability to open .Pa /dev/kmem which may be restricted based upon the value of the .Ar kern.allowkmem .Xr sysctl 8 . .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT .Bl -tag -width BLOCKSIZE .It Ev BLOCKSIZE If the environment variable .Ev BLOCKSIZE is set, and the .Fl k option is not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that size block. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr fstat 1 , .Xr netstat 1 , .Xr procmap 1 , .Xr ps 1 , .Xr systat 1 , .Xr tcpbench 1 , .Xr top 1 , .Xr stat 2 , .Xr printf 3 , .Xr fs 5 , .Xr iostat 8 , .Xr vmstat 8 .Rs .%T UNIX Implementation .%A Ken Thompson .%J Bell System Technical Journal .%V Volume 57 .%N Number 6 .%D 1978 .%P 1931\(en1946 .Re .Sh HISTORY The .Nm command appeared in .Bx 4.0 . .Sh BUGS Swap statistics are reported for all swap partitions compiled into the kernel, regardless of whether those partitions are being used. .Pp Does not understand NFS swap servers.
