5.14 Alpha SDA Commands, Parameters, and Qualifiers
Qualifier Meaning
/BRIEF Displays only general information about pool and its
addresses.
/CHECK Checks all free packets for POOLCHECK-style corruption, in
exactly the same way that the system does when generating
a POOLCHECK crashdump.
/MAXIMUM_BYTES [=n] Displays only the first n bytes of a pool packet; default is 64
bytes.
/STATISTICS [= ALL] Displays usage statistics about each lookaside list and the
variable free list. For each lookaside list, its queue header
address, packet size, the number of packets, attempts, fails,
and deallocations are displayed. (If pool checking is disabled,
the attempts, fails, and deallocations are not displayed.) For
the variable free list, its queue header address, the number
of packets and the size of the smallest and largest packets
are displayed. /STATISTICS can be further qualified by using
either /NONPAGED, /BAP, or /PAGED to display statistics for
a specified pool area. (Note that for paged pool, only variable
free list statistics are displayed.)
If /STATISTICS is specified without the ALL keyword, only
active lookaside lists are displayed. Use /STATISTICS = ALL
to display all lookaside lists.
/UNUSED Displays only variable free packets and lookaside list packets,
not used packets.
5.14.2.10 SHOW PROCESS
The SHOW PROCESS command has the following new qualifiers:
Qualifier Meaning
/FID_ONLY When used with /CHANNEL or /PROCESS_
SECTION_TABLE (/PST), the /FID_ONLY qualifier
causes SDA to not attempt to translate the
FID (File ID) to a file name when invoked with
ANALYZE/SYSTEM.
/GSTX=index When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, it
causes SDA to only display page table entries for the
specific global section.
/IMAGES [= ALL] By default, /IMAGES now only displays the address of
the image control block, the start and end addresses
of the image, the activation code, the protected and
shareable flags, the image name, and the major and
minor IDs of the image. If /IMAGES = ALL qualifier
is used, it also displays the base, end, image offset,
and section type for installed resident images in use
by this process.
/NEXT Causes SDA to locate the next valid process in the
process list and select that process. It there are no
further valid processes in the process list, SDA returns
an error.
/PST This is a synonym for /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE.
