pidlist.
q pidlist
Select by process ID (quick mode). Identical to -q and
--quick-pid.
-q pidlist
Select by PID (quick mode). This selects the processes whose
process ID numbers appear in pidlist. With this option ps reads
the necessary info only for the pids listed in the pidlist and
doesn’t apply additional filtering rules. The order of pids is
unsorted and preserved. No additional selection options, sorting
and forest type listings are allowed in this mode. Identical to
q and --quick-pid.
--quick-pid pidlist
Select by process ID (quick mode). Identical to -q and q.
-s sesslist
Select by session ID. This selects the processes with a session
ID specified in sesslist.
--sid sesslist
Select by session ID. Identical to -s.
t ttylist
Select by tty. Nearly identical to -t and --tty, but can also be
used with an empty ttylist to indicate the terminal associated
with ps. Using the T option is considered cleaner than using t
with an empty ttylist.
-t ttylist
Select by tty. This selects the processes associated with the
terminals given in ttylist. Terminals (ttys, or screens for text
output) can be specified in several forms: /dev/ttyS1, ttyS1, S1.
A plain "-" may be used to select processes not attached to any
terminal.
--tty ttylist
Select by terminal. Identical to -t and t.
U userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name. This selects the
processes whose effective user name or ID is in userlist. The
effective user ID describes the user whose file access
permissions are used by the process (see geteuid(2)). Identical
to -u and --user.
-U userlist
Select by real user ID (RUID) or name. It selects the processes
whose real user name or ID is in the userlist list. The real
user ID identifies the user who created the process, see
getuid(2).
-u userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name. This selects the
processes whose effective user name or ID is in userlist.
The effective user ID describes the user whose file access
permissions are used by the process (see geteuid(2)). Identical
to U and --user.
--User userlist
Select by real user ID (RUID) or name. Identical to -U.
--user userlist
Select by effective user ID (EUID) or name. Identical to -u and
U.
OUTPUT FORMAT CONTROL
These options are used to choose the information displayed by ps. The
output may differ by personality.
-c Show different scheduler information for the -l option.
--context
Display security context format (for SELinux).
-f Do full-format listing. This option can be combined with many
other UNIX-style options to add additional columns. It also
causes the command arguments to be printed. When used with -L,
the NLWP (number of threads) and LWP (thread ID) columns will be
added. See the c option, the format keyword args, and the format
keyword comm.
-F Extra full format. See the -f option, which -F implies.
--format format
user-defined format. Identical to -o and o.
j BSD job control format.
-j Jobs format.
l Display BSD long format.
-l Long format. The -y option is often useful
