NAME¶
/proc/pid/status - memory usage and status information
DESCRIPTION¶
- /proc/pid/status
- Provides much of the information in /proc/pid/stat and
/proc/pid/statm in a format that's easier for humans to

- The fields are as follows:
- Name
- Command run by this process. Strings longer than TASK_COMM_LEN (16)
characters (including the terminating null byte) are silently
truncated.
- Umask
- Process umask, expressed in octal with a leading zero; see
umask(2). (Since Linux 4.7.)
- State
- Current state of the process. One of "R (running)", "S
(sleeping)", "D (disk sleep)", "T (stopped)",
"t (tracing stop)", "Z (zombie)", or "X
(dead)".
- Tgid
- Thread group ID (i.e., Process ID).
- Ngid
- NUMA group ID (0 if none; since Linux 3.13).
- Pid
- Thread ID (see gettid(2)).
- PPid
- PID of parent process.
- TracerPid
- PID of process tracing this process (0 if not being traced).
- Uid
- Gid
- Real, effective, saved set, and filesystem UIDs (GIDs).
- FDSize
- Number of file descriptor slots currently allocated.
- Groups
- Supplementary group list.
- NStgid
- Thread group ID (i.e., PID) in each of the PID namespaces of which
pid is a member. The leftmost entry shows the value with respect to
the PID namespace of the process that mounted this procfs (or the root
namespace if mounted by the kernel), followed by the value in successively
nested inner namespaces. (Since Linux 4.1.)
- NSpid
- Thread ID in each of the PID namespaces of which pid is a member.
The fields are ordered as for NStgid. (Since Linux 4.1.)
- NSpgid
- Process group ID in each of the PID namespaces of which pid is a
member. The fields are ordered as for NStgid. (Since Linux
4.1.)
- NSsid
- descendant namespace session ID hierarchy Session ID in each of the PID
namespaces of which pid is a member. The fields are ordered as for
NStgid. (Since Linux 4.1.)
- VmPeak
- Peak virtual memory size.
- VmSize
- Virtual memory size.
- VmLck
- Locked memory size (see mlock(2)).
- VmPin
- Pinned memory size (since Linux 3.2). These are pages that can't be moved
because something needs to directly access physical memory.
- VmHWM
- Peak resident set size ("high water mark"). This value is
inaccurate; see /proc/pid/statm above.
- Resident set size. Note that the value here is the sum of RssAnon,
RssFile, and RssShmem. This value is inaccurate; see
/proc/pid/statm above.
- Size of resident anonymous memory. (since Linux 4.5). This value is
inaccurate; see /proc/pid/statm above.
- Size of resident file mappings. (since Linux 4.5). This value is
inaccurate; see /proc/pid/statm above.
- Size of resident shared memory (includes System V shared memory, mappings
from tmpfs(5), and shared anonymous mappings). (since Linux
4.5).
- VmData
- VmStk
- VmExe
- Size of data, stack, and text segments. This value is inaccurate; see
/proc/pid/statm above.
- VmLib
- Shared library code size.
- VmPTE
- Page table entries size (since Linux 2.6.10).
- VmPMD
- Size of second-level page tables (added in Linux 4.0; removed in Linux
4.15).
- VmSwap
- Swapped-out virtual memory size by anonymous private pages; shmem swap
usage is not included (since Linux 2.6.34). This value is inaccurate; see
/proc/pid/statm above.
- HugetlbPages
- Size of hugetlb memory portions (since Linux 4.4).
- CoreDumping
- Contains the value 1 if the process is currently dumping core, and 0 if it
is not (since Linux 4.15). This information can be used by a monitoring
process to avoid killing a process that is currently dumping core, which
could result in a corrupted core dump file.
- Threads
- Number of threads in process containing this thread.
- SigQ
- This field contains two slash-separated numbers that relate to queued
signals for the real user ID of this process. The first of these is the
number of currently queued signals for this real user ID, and the second
is the resource limit on the number of queued signals for this process
(see the description of RLIMIT_SIGPENDING in
getrlimit(2)).
- SigPnd
- ShdPnd
- Mask (expressed in hexadecimal) of signals pending for thread and for
process as a whole (see pthreads(7) and signal(7)).
- SigBlk
- SigIgn
- SigCgt
- Masks (expressed in hexadecimal) indicating signals being blocked,
ignored, and caught (see signal(7)).
- CapInh
- CapPrm
- CapEff
- Masks (expressed in hexadecimal) of capabilities enabled in inheritable,
permitted, and effective sets (see capabilities(7)).
- CapBnd
- Capability bounding set, expressed in hexadecimal (since Linux 2.6.26, see
capabilities(7)).
- CapAmb
- Ambient capability set, expressed in hexadecimal (since Linux 4.3, see
capabilities(7)).
- NoNewPrivs
- Value of the no_new_privs bit (since Linux 4.10, see
prctl(2)).
- Seccomp
- Seccomp mode of the process (since Linux 3.8, see seccomp(2)). 0
means SECCOMP_MODE_DISABLED; 1 means SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT; 2
means SECCOMP_MODE_FILTER. This field is provided only if the
kernel was built with the CONFIG_SECCOMP kernel configuration
option enabled.
- Seccomp_filters
- Number of seccomp filters attached to the process (since Linux 5.9, see
seccomp(2)).
- Speculation_Store_Bypass
- Speculation flaw mitigation state (since Linux 4.17, see
prctl(2)).
- Cpus_allowed
- Hexadecimal mask of CPUs on which this process may run (since Linux
2.6.24, see cpuset(7)).
- Cpus_allowed_list
- Same as previous, but in "list format" (since Linux 2.6.26, see
cpuset(7)).
- Mems_allowed
- Mask of memory nodes allowed to this process (since Linux 2.6.24, see
cpuset(7)).
- Mems_allowed_list
- Same as previous, but in "list format" (since Linux 2.6.26, see
cpuset(7)).
- voluntary_ctxt_switches
- nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches
- Number of voluntary and involuntary context switches (since Linux
2.6.23).
