vmbypid.d(1m)

NAME
vmbypid.d - virtual memory stats by PID. Uses DTrace.

SYNOPSIS
vmbypid.d

DESCRIPTION
vmbypid.d is a simple DTrace program to print Virtual Memory statistics by process. The virtual memory statistics are documented in the cpu_vminfo struct in the /usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h file; and also in the vminfo provider chapter of the DTrace Guide, http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/817-6223. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command.

    # vmbypid.d

FIELDS
