Overview
/proc/<pid>/stat contains status information about a process. This information is used by ps.
Example

Field 1 - pid
The process ID as integer.
Field 2 - Executable File Name
The filename of the executable, in parentheses. This is visible whether or not the executable is swapped out.
Field 3 - state
The process state, as character:
- R - running
- S - sleeping in an interruptible wait
- D - waiting in uninterruptible disk sleep
- Z - zombie
- T - stopped on a signal or (before 2.6.33) trace stopped
- t - tracing stop (2.6.33 onward)
- W - paging (before 2.6.0)
- X - dead (from 2.6.0 onward)
- x - dead (2.6.33 to 3.13 only)
- K - wakekill (2.6.33-3.13)
- W - waking (2.6.33-3.13)
- P - parked (3.9-3.13)
Field 4 - ppid
The pid of the parent process, as integer.
Field 5 - pgrp
The process group ID, as integer.
Field 6 - session
The session ID of the process, as integer.
Field 14 - utime
Amount of time that this process has been scheduled in user mode, measured in clock ticks. Expressed as an unsigned long. This includes guest time, as described below, so that applications that are not aware of the guest time field do not lose that time from their calculations.
Field 43 - guest_time
Guest time of the process, which is time spent running a virtual CPU for a guest operating system, measured in clock ticks. Expressed as an unsigned long.
Field 15
stime - CPU time spent in kernel code, measured in clock ticks
Field 16
cutime - Waited-for children's CPU time spent in user code (in clock ticks)
Field 17
cstime - Waited-for children's CPU time spent in kernel code (in clock ticks)
Field 22
starttime - Time when the process started, measured in clock ticks
