.SH NAME
/proc/pid/stat \- status information
.SH DESCRIPTION
.TP
.IR /proc/ pid /stat
Status information about the process.
This is used by
.BR ps (1).
It is defined in the kernel source file
.IR fs/proc/array.c "."
.IP
The fields, in order, with their proper
.BR scanf (3)
format specifiers, are listed below.
Whether or not certain of these fields display valid information is governed by
a ptrace access mode
.BR PTRACE_MODE_READ_FSCREDS " | " PTRACE_MODE_NOAUDIT
check (refer to
.BR ptrace (2)).
If the check denies access, then the field value is displayed as 0.
The affected fields are indicated with the marking [PT].
.RS
.TP
(1) \fIpid\fP \ %d
.br
The process ID.
.TP
(2) \fIcomm\fP \ %s

(16) characters (including the terminating null byte) are silently truncated.
This is visible whether or not the executable is swapped out.

(18) \fIpriority\fP \ %ld
(Explanation for Linux 2.6)
For processes running a real-time scheduling policy
.RI ( policy
below; see
.BR sched_setscheduler (2)),
this is the negated scheduling priority, minus one;
that is, a number in the range \-2 to \-100,
corresponding to real-time priorities 1 to 99.
For processes running under a non-real-time scheduling policy,
this is the raw nice value
.RB ( setpriority (2))
as represented in the kernel.
The kernel stores nice values as numbers
in the range 0 (high) to 39 (low),
corresponding to the user-visible nice range of \-20 to 19.
.IP
Before Linux 2.6, this was a scaled value based on
the scheduler weighting given to this process.
.\" And back in Linux 1.2 days things were different again.
.TP
(19) \fInice\fP \ %ld
The nice value (see
.BR setpriority (2)),
a value in the range 19 (low priority) to \-20 (high priority).
.\" Back in Linux 1.2 days things were different.
.\" .TP
.\" \fIcounter\fP %ld
.\" The current maximum size in jiffies of the process's next timeslice,
.\" or what is currently left of its current timeslice, if it is the
.\" currently running process.

.\" \fItimeout\fP %u
.\" The time in jiffies of the process's next timeout.
.\" timeout was removed sometime around 2.1/2.2
.TP
(20) \fInum_threads\fP \ %ld
Number of threads in this process (since Linux 2.6).
Before Linux 2.6, this field was hard coded to 0 as a placeholder
for an earlier removed field.
.TP
(21) \fIitrealvalue\fP \ %ld
The time in jiffies before the next
.B SIGALRM
is sent to the process due to an interval timer.
Since Linux 2.6.17, this field is no longer maintained,
and is hard coded as 0.
.TP
(22) \fIstarttime\fP \ %llu
The time the process started after system boot.
Before Linux 2.6, this value was expressed in jiffies.
Since Linux 2.6, the value is expressed in clock ticks (divide by
.IR sysconf(_SC_CLK_TCK) ).
.IP
The format for this field was %lu before Linux 2.6.
.TP
(23) \fIvsize\fP \ %lu
Virtual memory size in bytes.
.TP
(24) \fIrss\fP \ %ld
Resident Set Size: number of pages the process has in real memory.
This is just the pages which
count toward text, data, or stack space.
This does not include pages
which have not been demand-loaded in, or which are swapped out.
This value is inaccurate; see
.IR /proc/ pid /statm
below.

The current EIP (instruction pointer).
.TP
(31) \fIsignal\fP \ %lu

.IR /proc/ pid /status
instead.
.TP
(32) \fIblocked\fP \ %lu
The bitmap of blocked signals, displayed as a decimal number.
Obsolete, because it does not provide information on real-time signals; use
