PINFO Command

Use the PINFO command to display the status and characteristics of one or more

defined processes.

DETAIL

gives detailed information on status and characteristics of the specified defined

processes. See Figure 4-3 for the display format provided by the DETAIL option.

process-list

is a list of unique, symbolic names that you have assigned to defined processes. If

you do not give a process name (or if you specify an asterisk (*)), information for all

your defined processes is displayed.

PINFO Listing Formats

Figures 4-2 and 4-3, below, are examples of the listing formats for the PINFO

command. Note that both formats provide the symbolic process name, the program file

name, line counts for both input and output queues, and the readiness state of the

process. The detail format additionally provides the operating system process name (or

cpu and pin numbers), the in and out file name for the process, the current default wait

mode, the setting of the HISTORY option, and the setting of the SHOWPROMPT

option.

In these two figures, NAME is the symbolic name you have assigned to the process, and

PROGRAM is the file portion of the program file name. If the program is being run

remotely, the file name is prefixed with the system name.

The INPUT and OUTPUT columns list the number of lines of text in the input and

output queues, respectively. If either of these queues is empty for a given process, the

word EMPTY is displayed.

Note. If your TACL use list is not set up to include :utils:DP, you must precede the PINFO

command with :utils:dp.
