Display
The actual display varies, depending on the specific variant of UNIX that the machine is running.
The first few lines of the display show general information about the state of the system, including the last
process ID assigned to a process (on most systems), the three load averages, the current time, the number
of existing processes, the number of processes in each state (sleeping, running, starting,
zombies, and stopped), and a percentage of time spent in each of the processor states (user, nice,
system, and idle). It also includes information about physical and virtual memory allocation.
The remainder of the screen displays information about individual processes. This display is similar to the
output for portStop, but it is not exactly the same.
On multiprocessor systems, the STATE field might be followed by a slash and CPU number.

u Displays only processes owned by a specific user name (prompts
for user name). If the user name specified is simply +, processes
belonging to all users are displayed.
o Changes the order in which the display is sorted. This command
is not available on all systems. The sort key names vary from
system to system but usually include cpu, res, size, and time.
The default is cpu.
e Displays a list of system errors (if any) generated by the last
kill or renice command.
i or I Toggles the display of idle processes.
PID Process ID.
USERNAME Name of the process owner (if -u is specified, a UID column is
substituted for USERNAME).
PRI Current priority of the process.
NICE Nice amount (in the range –20 to 20).
SIZE Total size of the process (text, data, and stack).
RES Current amount of resident memory (both SIZE and RES are
given in kilobytes).
STATE Current state (one of START, RUN, STOP, ZOMB, DEAD, or CPU)
or wait channel if the state is SLEEP.
TIME Number of system and user CPU seconds that the process has
used.
WCPU When displayed, the weighted CPU percentage (this is the same
value that portStop displays as CPU).
CPU Raw percentage and is the field that is sorted to determine the
order of the processes.
COMMAND Name of the command that the process is currently running (if
the process is swapped out, this column is marked <swapped>).
