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 7 - tty_nr

Field 8 - tpgid

Field 9 - flags

Field 10 - minflt

Field 11 - cminflt

Field 12 - majflt

Field 13 - cmajflt

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 15 - stime

Amount of time that this process has been scheduled in kernel mode, measured in clock ticks. Expressed as an unsigned long.

Field 16 - cutime

Waited-for children's CPU time spent in user code expressed in clock ticks. This includes guest time, which is time spent running a virtual CPU.

Field 17 - cstime

Amount of time that this process's waited-for children have been scheduled in kernel mode, measured in clock ticks.

Field 18 - priority

Field 19 - nice

Field 20 - num_threads

Field 21 - itrealvalue

Field 22 - starttime

The timestamp of the process start, relative to the system boot. In kernels before 2.6, this value was expressed in jiffies. Since 2.6, the value is expressed in clock ticks.

To calculate the amount of time the process was up an running, use the following formula:

process-running-time(seconds) = system-uptime(seconds) - (starttime / USER_HZ)

Field 23 - vsize

Field 24 - rss

Field 25 - rsslim

Field 26 - startcode

Field 27 - endcode

Field 28 - startstack

Field 32 - blocked

Field 33 - sigignore

Field 34 - sigcatch

Field 35 - wchan

Field 36 - nswap

Field 37 - cnswap

Field 38 - exit_signal

Field 39 - processor

Field 40 - rt_priority

Field 41 - policy

Field 42 - delayacct_blkio_ticks

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 44 - cguest_time

Field 45 - start_data

Field 46 - end_data

Field 47 - start_brk

Field 48 - arg_start

Field 49 - arg_end

Field 50 - env_start
