Qualifiers
/ACCOUNTING
Shows the resources used by the process.
/ALL
Displays the basic subset of information as well as information
about:
Accounting
Dynamic memory use
Privileges
Quotas
Shelving
Subprocesses
Wildcard status
/CASE_LOOKUP
Lists the active case sensitivity setting in your process (either
BLIND or SENSITIVE).
VSI strongly recommends that you use caution when enabling case
sensitivity in your processes.
See the Guide to OpenVMS File Applications for additional
information.
/CONTINUOUS
Displays continuously updated information about the local
process in an OpenVMS environment. You cannot use the /CONTINUOUS
qualifier to display information about a process on another node
in a cluster environment.
While the continuous display is running, you can press the
following keys to customize the output display:
Key Action
E Exits the continuous display.
Q Dynamically displays process quotas.
T Displays information for threads in the process. Press
the T key repeatedly to cycle through multiple threads.
V Displays a map of the pages in the virtual address
space of the process.
Each character displayed in the map represents the type
of page. If the current program counter is in the page,
the page type is indicated by an at sign (@). Pages
locked in the working set are indicated by the letter
L. Global pages are indicated by the letter G. Other
valid pages in the working set are indicated by an
asterisk (*).
Space Returns to the default display.
bar
The /CONTINUOUS qualifier cannot be used with the /OUTPUT
qualifier.
/DUMP
Displays the image dump setting which is set or cleared by the
SET PROCESS/DUMP command.
/EXACT
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a
search string that must match the search string exactly and must
be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").
If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH
qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search
string with the Find (E1) key.
/HIGHLIGHT
/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the
type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When
a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use
the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD
is the default highlighting.
/IDENTIFICATION
/IDENTIFICATION=pid
Requires GROUP or WORLD privilege to access processes other than
your own.
Displays information about the process with the specified process
identification (PID). The PID is assigned by the system when
the process is created. When you specify a PID, you can omit the
leading zeros.
If you specify the /IDENTIFICATION qualifier, it overrides the
process-name parameter. If, in addition, you specify the /MEMORY
qualifier, the PID value must be that of the current process.
/INTERVAL
/INTERVAL=n
Use with the /CONTINUOUS qualifier to update the information at
the specified number of seconds.
/MEMORY
Displays the process's use of dynamic memory areas. The /MEMORY
qualifier is allowed only for the current process.
/OUTPUT
/OUTPUT[=filespec]
/NOOUTPUT
Controls where the output of the command is sent. By default,
the output of the SHOW PROCESS command is sent to the current
SYS$OUTPUT device (usually your terminal). To send the output
to a file, use the /OUTPUT qualifier followed by a file
specification.
The asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters
are not allowed in the file specification. If you enter a partial
file specification (for example, specifying only a directory),
SHOW is the default file name and .LIS is the default file type.
If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.
The /OUTPUT qualifier is incompatible with the /CONTINUOUS
qualifier.
/PAGE
/PAGE[=keyword]
/NOPAGE (default)
Controls the display of process information on the screen.
You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:
CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[=n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n
is the number of pages to store.
The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens
of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens
of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE
qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the
information:
Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the
information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Get the next page of information.
Return, Enter, Space
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these
differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest
page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.
The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.
/PRIVILEGES
Displays current privileges and rights for the process. To
display only privileges, also specify the /NORIGHTS qualifier.
Use the SET PROCESS/PRIVILEGES command to enable process
privileges on a system.
Use the SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES command to determine what
authorized privileges are enabled on an OpenVMS system:
ACNT ALLSPOOL ALTPRI AUDIT
BUGCHK BYPASS CMEXEC CMKRNL
DETACH DIAGNOSE DOWNGRADE EXQUOTA
GROUP GRPNAM GRPPRV IMPORT
LOG_IO MOUNT NETMBX OPER
PFNMAP PHY_IO PRMCEB PRMGBL
PRMMBX PSWAPM READALL SECURITY
SETPRV SHARE SHMEM SYSGBL
SYSLCK SYSNAM SYSPRV TMPMBX
UPGRADE VOLPRO WORLD
/QUOTAS
Displays, for each resource, either a quota or a limit. The
values displayed for quotas reflect any quota reductions
resulting from subprocess creation. The values displayed for
limits reflect the resources available to a process at creation.
/RAD
Displays home resource affinity domain (RAD).
OpenVMS support for RADs is available on the Alpha GS series
systems and Integrity server NUMA capable systems.
/RIGHTS
/RIGHTS (default)
/NORIGHTS
Displays the current rights for the specified process. Use the
/NORIGHTS qualifier with the /PRIVILEGES qualifier to suppress
the rights display.
/SCHEDULING_CLASS
Displays the scheduling class of the specified process.
/SEARCH
/SEARCH="string"
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you
want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks
are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in
the text string.
You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the
Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation
marks are not required for a dynamic search.
/SHELVING
Displays whether the process automatically unshelves files.
/SUBPROCESSES
Displays the current subprocesses in hierarchical order.
/SYMLINK
The SHOW PROCESS/ALL and SHOW PROCESS/SYMLINK commands display
the status of the symlink wildcard search mode.
/TOKEN
/TOKEN (Alpha/Integrity servers Only)
Displays the current token size as either Traditional (255 bytes)
or Extended (4000 bytes). (A token is any element in a command
line that is bounded by spaces. For example, the command COPY
X.TXT Y.TXT contains three tokens.) The token size is determined
by the setting of bit 1 in the DCL_CTLFLAGS system parameter. You
can use the SET PROCESS/TOKEN command to change the token size.
/UNITS
Displays whether the process currently reports disk space
in bytes or blocks. You can change this setting using SET
PROCESS/UNITS.
/WRAP
/WRAP
/NOWRAP (default)
Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns
to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond
the width of the screen to the next line.
The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the
screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and
right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.
