PSTREE(1)                                 User Commands                                 PSTREE(1)



NAME
       pstree - display a tree of processes

SYNOPSIS
       pstree [-a] [-c] [-h|-Hpid] [-l] [-n] [-p] [-u] [-Z] [-A|-G|-U] [pid|user]
       pstree -V

DESCRIPTION
       pstree  shows running processes as a tree. The tree is rooted at either pid or init if pid
       is omitted. If a user name is specified, all process trees rooted at  processes  owned  by
       that user are shown.

       pstree visually merges identical branches by putting them in square brackets and prefixing
       them with the repetition count, e.g.

           init-+-getty
                |-getty
                |-getty
                `-getty

       becomes

           init---4*[getty]



       Child threads of a process are found under the parent process and are shown with the  pro-
       cess name in curly braces, e.g.

           icecast2---13*[{icecast2}]


       If  pstree  is called as pstree.x11 then it will prompt the user at the end of the line to
       press return and will not return until that has happened. This is useful for  when  pstree
       is run in a xterminal.


OPTIONS
       -a     Show  command line arguments. If the command line of a process is swapped out, that
              process is shown in parentheses. -a implicitly disables compaction.

       -A     Use ASCII characters to draw the tree.

       -c     Disable compaction of identical subtrees. By default, subtrees are compacted  when-
              ever possible.

       -G     Use VT100 line drawing characters.

       -h     Highlight  the  current  process and its ancestors. This is a no-op if the terminal
              doesn't support highlighting or if neither the  current  process  nor  any  of  its
              ancestors are in the subtree being shown.

       -H     Like  -h, but highlight the specified process instead. Unlike with -h, pstree fails
              when using -H if highlighting is not available.

       -l     Display long lines. By default, lines are truncated to the display width or 132  if
              output is sent to a non-tty or if the display width is unknown.

       -n     Sort processes with the same ancestor by PID instead of by name. (Numeric sort.)

       -p     Show  PIDs.  PIDs  are  shown  as decimal numbers in parentheses after each process
              name. -p implicitly disables compaction.

       -u     Show uid transitions. Whenever the uid of a process differs from  the  uid  of  its
              parent, the new uid is shown in parentheses after the process name.

       -U     Use  UTF-8  (Unicode)  line drawing characters. Under Linux 1.1-54 and above, UTF-8
              mode is entered on the console with echo -e '\033%8' and left with echo -e '\033%@'

       -V     Display version information.

       -Z     (SELinux) Show security context for each process.
