STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS
Here are the different keywords that may be used to control the output
format (e.g. with option -o) or to sort the selected processes with the
GNU-style --sort option.
For example: ps -eo pid,user,args --sort user
This version of ps tries to recognize most of the keywords used in other
implementations of ps.
The following user-defined format specifiers may contain spaces:
args, cmd, comm, command, fname, ucmd, ucomm, lstart, bsdstart, start.
Some keywords may not be available for sorting.
CODE HEADER DESCRIPTION
%cpu %CPU cpu utilization of the process in "##.#" format.
Currently, it is the CPU time used divided by the
time the process has been running
(cputime/realtime ratio), expressed as a
percentage. It will not add up to 100% unless you
are lucky. (alias pcpu).
%mem %MEM ratio of the process’s resident set size to the
physical memory on the machine, expressed as a
percentage. (alias pmem).
ag_id AGID The autogroup identifier associated with a process
which operates in conjunction with the CFS
scheduler to improve interactive desktop
performance.
ag_nice AGNI The autogroup nice value which affects scheduling
of all processes in that group.
args COMMAND command with all its arguments as a string.
Modifications to the arguments may be shown. The
output in this column may contain spaces. A
process marked <defunct> is partly dead, waiting
to be fully destroyed by its parent. Sometimes
the process args will be unavailable; when this
happens, ps will instead print the executable name
in brackets. (alias cmd, command). See also the
comm format keyword, the -f option, and the c
option.
When specified last, this column will extend to
the edge of the display. If ps can not determine
display width, as when output is redirected
(piped) into a file or another command, the output
width is undefined (it may be 80, unlimited,
determined by the TERM variable, and so on). The
COLUMNS environment variable or --cols option may
be used to exactly determine the width in this
case. The w or -w option may be also be used to
adjust width.
blocked BLOCKED mask of the blocked signals, see signal(7).
According to the width of the field, a 32 or
64-bit mask in hexadecimal format is displayed.
(alias sig_block, sigmask).
bsdstart START time the command started. If the process was
started less than 24 hours ago, the output format
is " HH:MM", else it is " Mmm:SS" (where Mmm
