The pibstat command in the DM account displays the current PIB status bit settings for a specified value.
Syntax
pibstat value |
Parameter(s)
value |
A 2-byte PIB status returned by the where command, under the column labeled PIB Stat. |
The pibstat command is perhaps the most useful indication of resource use on a D3 machine. The first two digits of this value indicate the state of a process. Some of the more common values include:
f3xx |
Waiting-for-input or displaying text. |
e3xx |
Waiting-for-input or displaying text with echo off. |
f5xx |
Displaying text, but line is in xoff (CTRL+S) state. |
ffxx |
Process is currently using the CPU. |
bfxx |
Process is currently sleeping. |
dfxx |
PIB currently requesting disk I/O. |
NOTE |
This command reflects the D3 process status. The term roadblocked means that the port is currently reading or writing a character. |
Example(s)
