nt_pinfo command

The nt_pinfo command obtains and displays information about threads.

Syntax

nt_pinfo {(options}

Parameter(s)

options b Displays block counts (AllocB and CommtB). This cannot be used with the u option unless the w option is used.
l Loops displaying the delta CPU usage information for any ports that have consumed CPU within the last 1 second. Useful for finding active CPU consumers. Press the X key to exit.
m Displays the virtual memory size in megabytes (MB).
s Suppress the display of the virtual memory statistics (overrides the v option).
t Displays the totals for the AllocK, AllocB, CommtK, and CommtB columns.
u Displays the user-ID in the report. This cannot be used with the b option unless the w option is used.
v Displays only virtual memory (process virtual address space) and page file statistics. When used with the m option, the display is in MB.
w Wide display.
z Displays all configured ports, including those that do not have an associated thread.

Description

The nt_pinfo command displays a report showing the PIBs (line numbers), the associated thread-id, CPU and memory utilization, and the name of the associated device.
