PIB

Process Identification Block.

ThreadId

Process location. For example: Taking the last three digits into the debugger with a thread of 01c, shows where you are in a BASIC Program at that point in time.

T

Type of process attached.

T = telnet

S = serial

C = console

P = phantom

User

User CPU time since thread started.

Kernel

Kernel CPU time since thread started.

Maps

Number of maps the thread has made. An indirect measure of disk I/O’s.

Device

Attached device.
