SHOW PROCESS

Displays the software and hardware context of any process in the system. If the process is suspended (ANALYZE/SYSTEM), then some displays may be incomplete or unavailable. If the process was outswapped at the time of the system crash, or not included in a selective dump (ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP), then some displays may be incomplete or unavailable.
Please see descriptions of the individual qualifiers for details not included in the syntax definition.

Format

SHOW PROCESS
Select which process to show:

Select what to show about a process :

Parameters

ALL
Information is to be displayed about all processes that exist in the system.
process-name
Name of the process for which information is to be displayed. Use of the process-name parameter or one of the /ADDRESS, /ID, /INDEX, /NEXT, or /SYSTEM qualifiers causes the SHOW PROCESS command to perform an implicit SET PROCESS command, making the indicated process the current process for subsequent SDA commands.
When you analyze a crash dump from a multiprocessing system, changing process context may require a switch of CPU context as well. When you issue a SET PROCESS command, SDA automatically changes its CPU context to that of the CPU on which that process is, or was most recently, current. You can determine the names of the processes in the system by issuing a SHOW SUMMARY command.
The process-name can contain up to 15 uppercase letters, numerals, the underscore (_), dollar sign, colon (:), and some other printable characters. If it contains any other characters (including lowercase letters), you may need to enclose the process-name in quotation marks (" ").

Qualifiers

/ADDRESS=pcb-address
Specifies the process control block (PCB) address of a process in order to display information about the process.
/ALL
Displays all information shown by the following qualifiers:
/BUFFER_OBJECTS
/CHANNELS
/FANDLES
/IMAGES=ALL
/LOCKS
/PAGE_TABLES=ALL
/PCB
/PERSONA/RIGHTS
/PHD
/POOL/HEADER/RING_BUFFER/STATISTICS
/PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE
/REGIONS
/REGISTERS
/RMS
/SEMAPHORE
/THREADS
/TQE
/UNWIND_TABLE (Integrity servers only.)
/WORKING_SET_LIST

/AUTHORIZED
Used with the /PERSONA/RIGHTS qualifiers. See the /PERSONA/RIGHTS/AUTHORIZED description for the use of the /AUTHORIZED qualifier.
/BRIEF
When used with the /LOCKS qualifier, causes SDA to display each lock owned by the current process in brief format, that is, one line for each lock. When used with the /POOL qualifier, causes SDA to display only general information about process pool and its addresses.
/BUFFER_OBJECTS
Displays all the buffer objects that a process has created.
/CHANNELS
Displays information about the I/O channels assigned to the process.
/CHECK
Checks all free process pool packets for POOLCHECK-style corruption in exactly the same way that the system does when generating a POOLCHECK crash dump.
/FANDLES
Displays the data on the process' fast I/O handles.
/FID_ONLY
When used with /CHANNEL or /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE (/PST), causes SDA to not attempt to translate the FID (File ID) to a file name when invoked with ANALYZE/SYSTEM.
/FREE
When used with /POOL, displays the entire contents, both allocated and free, of the specified region or regions of pool. Use the /FREE qualifier with a range to show all of the used and free pool in the given range.
/GSTX=index
When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, displays only page table entries for the specific global section.
/HEADER
When used with /POOL, displays only the first 16 bytes of each data packet found within the specified region or regions of pool.
/IMAGES [= {name|ALL} ]
For all images in use by this process, displays the address of the image control block, the start and end addresses of the image, the activation code, the protected and shareable flags, the image name, and the major and minor IDs of the image. The /IMAGES=ALL qualifier also displays the base, end, image offset, section type, and global pointer for all images (Integrity servers) or for all installed resident images (Alpha) in use by this process. The /IMAGE=name qualifier displays this information for just the specified images; name may contain wildcards.
See the HP OpenVMS Linker Utility Manual and the Install utility chapter in the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual for more information on images installed using the /RESIDENT qualifier.
/ID=nn

/INDEX=nn
Specifies the process for which information is to be displayed by its index into the system's list of software process control blocks (PCBs), or by its process identification (ID). /ID and /INDEX can be used interchangeably. You can supply the following values for nn:

The process index itself.
The process identification (PID) or extended PID longword, from which SDA extracts the correct index. You can specify the PID or extended PID of any thread of a process with multiple kernel threads. Any thread-specific data displayed by SHOW PROCESS will be for the given thread.

To obtain these values for any given process, issue the SDA command SHOW SUMMARY/THREADS.
/INVALID_PFN [=option]
The /INVALID_PFN qualifier, which is valid only on platforms that supply an I/O memory map, causes SDA to display only page table entries that map to PFNs that are not in the system's private memory or in Galaxy-shared memory, and which are not I/O access pages. Use of /INVALID_PFN implies /PAGE_TABLES.
The /INVALID_PFN qualifier allows two optional keywords, READONLY and WRITABLE. If neither keyword is given, all relevant pages are displayed. If you specify READONLY, only pages marked for no write access are displayed. If you specify WRITABLE, only pages that allow write access are displayed. For example, SHOW PROCESS ALL/PAGE_TABLE=ALL/INVALID_PFN=WRITABLE would display all process pages (for all processes) whose protection allows write, but which map to PFNs that do not belong to this system.
/L1

/L2

/L3 (D)
Used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier to specify the level for which page table entries are to be displayed. You can specify only one level. /L3 is the default.
/LOCKS [/BRIEF]
Displays the lock management locks owned by the current process.
When specified with /BRIEF, produces a display similar in format to that produced by the SHOW LOCKS command; that is, it causes SDA to display each lock owned by the current process in brief format with one line for each lock. Table 4-7 contains additional information.
/MAXIMUM_BYTES [=n]
When used with /POOL, displays only the first n bytes of a pool packet; if you specify /MAXIMUM_BYTES without a value, the default is 64 bytes.
/NEXT
Locates the next valid process in the system's process list and selects that process. If there are no further valid processes in the system's process list, SDA returns an error.
/NONMEMORY_PFN [=option]
The /NONMEMORY_PFN qualifier causes SDA to display only page table entries that are in neither the system's private memory nor in Galaxy-shared memory. Use of /NONMEMORY_PFN implies /PAGE_TABLES.
The /NONMEMORY_PFN qualifier allows two optional keywords, READONLY and WRITABLE. If neither keyword is given, all relevant pages are displayed. If you specify READONLY, only pages marked for no write access are displayed. If you specify WRITABLE, only pages that allow write access are displayed. For example, SHOW PROCESS ALL/PAGE_TABLE=ALL/NONMEMORY_PFN=WRITABLE would display all process pages (for all processes) whose protection allows write, but which map to PFNs that are in neither the system's private memory nor Galaxy-shared memory.
/P0 (D)

/P1

/P2

/PT
When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, /P0, /P1, /P2, and /PT specify one or more regions for which page table entries should be displayed. You can specify any or none of these values. The default is /P0.
/PAGE_TABLES
Displays the page tables of the process P0 (process), P1 (control), P2, or PT (page table) region, or, optionally, page table entries for a range of addresses. You can use /PAGE_TABLES=ALL to display page tables of all four regions. With /Ln, the page table entries at the level specified by /L1, /L2, or /L3 (the default) are displayed.
With /RDE=id or /REGIONS=id, SDA displays the page tables for the address range of the specified address region. When you do not specify an ID, the page tables are displayed for all the process-permanent and user-defined regions.
If /PTE_ADDRESS is given, the range is expressed using the following syntax:

m Displays the single page table entry at address m

m:n Displays the page table entries from address m to address n

m;n Displays n bytes of page table entries starting at address m

If /PTE_ADDRESS is not given, then range is expressed using the following syntax:

m Displays the single page table entry that corresponds to virtual address m

m:n Displays the page table entries that correspond to the range of virtual addresses from m to n

m;n Displays the page table entries that correspond to a range of n bytes starting at virtual address m

Page Protections and Access
See Section 2.8 for information on page protections and access.

The /GSTX=index qualifier causes SDA to display only the page table entries for the pages in the specified global section.
The /SECTION_INDEX=n qualifier causes SDA to display only the page table entries for the pages in the specified process section.
/PCB
Displays the information contained in the process control block (PCB). This is the default behavior of the SHOW PROCESS command.
/PERSONA [=address]
Displays all persona security blocks (PSBs) held in the PERSONA ARRAY of the process, and then lists selected information contained in each initially listed PSB. The selected information includes the contents of the following cells inside the PSB:
Flags
Reference count
Execution mode
Audit status
Account name
UIC
Privileges
Rights enabled mask

If you specify a PSB address, this information is provided for that specific PSB only.
If you also specify /RIGHTS, SDA expands the display to provide additional selected information, including all the rights and their attributes currently held and active for each persona security block (PSB) specified with the /PERSONA qualifier.
If you specify /RIGHTS/AUTHORIZED, SDA also displays additional selected information, including all the rights and their attributes authorized for each persona security block (PSB) specified with the /PERSONA qualifier.
/PHD
Lists the information included in the process header (PHD).
/POOL [= {P0 | P1 | IMGACT | ALL (D)} | range]
Displays the dynamic storage pool in the process' P0 (process) region, the P1 (control) region, or the image activator's reserved pages, or optionally, a range of addresses. The default action is to display all dynamic storage pools.
You can express a range using the following syntax:

m:n Displays the process pool in the range of virtual addresses from m to n.

m;n Displays process pool in a range of n bytes, starting at virtual address m.

/PPT
See the description of /PAGE_TABLES, which is functionally equivalent to /PPT.
/PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE [/SECTION_INDEX=id][/FID_ONLY]
Lists the information contained in the process section table (PST). The /SECTION_INDEX=id qualifier used with /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE displays the process section table entry for the specified section.
/PST
Is a synonym for /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE.
/PT
When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, displays the page table entries for the page table space of the process. By default, P0 space is displayed.
/PTE_ADDRESS
When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, specifies that the range is of PTE addresses instead of the virtual addresses mapped by the PTE.
/RDE [=id]

/REGIONS [=id]
Lists the information contained in the process region table for the specified region. If you do not specify a region, the entire table is displayed, including the process-permanent regions. /RDE and /REGIONS are functionally equivalent. When used with /PAGE_TABLES, this qualifier causes SDA to display the page tables for only the specified region or, by default, for all regions.
/REGISTERS
Lists the hardware context of the process, as reflected in the process registers stored in the hardware privileged context block (HWPCB), in its kernel stack, and possibly, in its PHD.
/RIGHTS
Used with the /PERSONA qualifier. See the /PERSONA/RIGHTS description for use of the /RIGHTS qualifier.
/RING_BUFFER [={ALL | address}]
Displays the contents of the process-pool history ring buffer. Entries are displayed in reverse chronological order (most recent to least recent). If you specify /RING_BUFFER without the ALL keyword or an address, SDA displays all unmatched current allocations and deallocations. Use /RING_BUFFER=ALL to display matched allocations and deallocations and any non-current entries not yet overwritten. Use /RING_BUFFER=address to limit the display to only allocations and deallocations of blocks that contain the given address (including matched allocations and deallocations).
/RMS [= (option[,...]) ]
Displays certain specified RMS data structures for each image I/O or process-permanent I/O file the process has open. To display RMS data structures for process-permanent files, specify the PIO option to this qualifier. Other guidelines for specifying this qualifier include the following:

If you specify only one option, you can omit the parentheses.
You can add additional structures to those already set by the SET RMS command by beginning the list of options with an asterisk (*).
You can exclude a structure from those set by the SET RMS command by specifying its keyword option preceded by NO (for example, NOPIO).

SDA determines the structures to be displayed according to either of the following methods:

If you provide the name of a structure or structures in the option parameter, SHOW PROCESS/RMS displays information from only the specified structures. (See Table 4-3 in the SET RMS command description for a list of keywords that you can supply as options.)
If you do not specify an option, SHOW PROCESS/RMS displays the current list of options as shown by the SHOW RMS command and set by the SET RMS command.

/SECTION_INDEX=n
When used with the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, displays the page table for the range of pages in the specified process section. You can also specify one of the qualifiers /L1, /L2, or /L3.
When used with the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE qualifier, displays the PST for the specified process section.
The /SECTION_INDEX=n qualifier is ignored if you do not specify either the /PAGE_TABLES or the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE qualifier.
/SEMAPHORE
Displays the Inner Mode Semaphore for a multithreaded process.
/STATISTICS
When used with /POOL, displays statistics on the free list(s) in process pool.
/SUBTYPE=packet-type
When used with /POOL, displays only packets of the specified subtype. Pool packet types found in the process pool can include logical names (LNM) and image control blocks (IMCB). /SUBTYPE is functionally equivalent to /TYPE.
/SUMMARY
When used with /POOL, displays only an allocation summary for each packet type.
/SYSTEM
Displays the system's process control block. The system PCB and process header (PHD) parallel the data structures that describe processes. They contain the system working set, global section table, global page table, and other systemwide data.
/THREADS
Displays the software and hardware context of all the threads associated with the current process.
/TQE [=ALL]
Displays all timer queue entries associated with the current process. If specified as /TQE, a one-line summary is output for each TQE. If specified as /TQE=ALL, a detailed display of each TQE is output. See Table 4-32 for an explanation of TQE types in the one-line summary.
/TYPE=packet-type
When used with /POOL, displays only packets of the specified type. Pool packet types found in the process pool can include logical names (LNM) and image control blocks (IMCB). /TYPE is functionally equivalent to /SUBTYPE.
/UNUSED
When used with /POOL, displays only free packets.
/UNWIND_TABLE [= {ALL | name} ]
Valid for Intergrity server systems only.
If specified without a keyword, displays the master unwind table for the process. SHOW PROCESS/UNWIND=ALL displays the details of every process unwind descriptor. SHOW PROCESS/UNWIND=name displays the details of every unwind descriptor for the named image or images implied by a wildcard. To look at unwind data for a specific PC in process space, use SHOW UNWIND address.
If some or all unwind data for an image is not included in the system dump (for example, if it was not in the working set of the process at the time of the system crash), a SHOW PROCESS/UNWIND command can fail with a %SDA-W-NOREAD error because the unwind data is inaccessible. Collecting unwind data using the SDA commands COLLECT and COPY/COLLECT will not correct this because the collected unwind data is used only by SHOW UNWIND address and SHOW CALL.
/WORKING_SET_LIST [={PPT|PROCESS|LOCKED|GLOBAL|MODIFIED|n}]
Displays the contents of the requested entries of the working set list for the process. If you do not specify an option, all working set list entries are displayed. This qualifier is functionally equivalent to /WSL.
Table 4-20 shows the options available with SHOW PROCESS/WORKING_SET_LIST.

Table 4-20 Options for the /WORKING_SET_LIST Qualifier
Options Results

PPT Displays process page table pages

PROCESS Displays process-private pages

LOCKED Displays pages locked into the process' working set

GLOBAL Displays global pages currently in the working set of the process

MODIFIED Displays working set list entries marked modified

n Displays a specific working set list entry, where n is the working set list index (WSLX) of the entry of interest

/WSL
See /WORKING_SET_LIST, which is functionally equivalent to /WSL.

Description

The SHOW PROCESS command displays information about the process specified by process-name, the process specified in the /ID or /INDEX qualifier, the next process in the system's process list, the system process, or all processes. The SHOW PROCESS command performs an implicit SET PROCESS command under certain uses of its qualifiers and parameters, as noted previously. By default, the SHOW PROCESS command produces information about the SDA current process, as defined in Section 2.5.
The default of the SHOW PROCESS command provides information taken from the software process control block (PCB) and the kernel threads block (KTB) of the SDA current thread. This is the first display provided by the /ALL qualifier and the only display provided by the /PCB qualifier. This information describes the following characteristics of the process:

Software context
Condition-handling information
Information on interprocess communication
Information on counts, quotas, and resource usage

Among the displayed information are the process PID, EPID, priority, job information block (JIB) address, and process header (PHD) address. SHOW PROCESS also describes the resources owned by the process, such as event flags and mutexes. The "State" field records the current scheduling state for the thread, and indicates the CPU ID of any thread whose state is CUR. See Table 4-31 for a list of all possible states.
The /THREADS qualifier (also part of SHOW PROCESS/ALL), displays information from the KTBs of all threads in the process, instead of only the SDA current thread.
The SHOW PROCESS/ALL command displays additional process-specific information, also provided by several of the individual qualifiers to the command.
The process registers display, also produced by the /REGISTERS qualifier, describes the process hardware context, as reflected in its registers. The registers displayed are those of the SDA current thread, or of all threads if either the /THREADS or the /ALL qualifier have been specified.
A process hardware context is stored in the following locations:

If the process is currently executing on a processor in the system (that is, in the CUR scheduling state), its hardware context is contained in that processor's registers. (That is, the process registers and the processor's registers contain identical values, as illustrated by a SHOW CPU command for that processor or a SHOW CRASH command, if the process was current at the time of the system failure.)
If the process is not executing, its privileged hardware context is stored in the part of the PHD known as the HWPCB. Its integer register context is stored on its kernel stack. Its floating-point registers are stored in its PHD.

The process registers display first lists those registers stored in the HWPCB, kernel stack, and PHD ("Saved process registers"). If the process to be displayed is currently executing on a processor in the system, the display then lists the processor's registers ("Active registers for the current process"). In each section, the display lists the registers in groups.
For Alpha:

Integer registers (R0 through R29)
Special-purpose registers (PC and PS)
Stack pointers (KSP, ESP, SSP, and USP)
Page table base register (PTBR)
AST enable and summary registers (ASTEN and ASTSR)
Address space number register (ASN)

For Integrity servers:

Integer registers (R1 through R11, R13 through R31). Note that R1 is displayed as GP (Global Pointer) and R12 is omitted.
Special-purpose registers (PC, PSR, ISR). Note: The PC is the combination of the IP and the slot number from the PSR.
Stack pointers (KSP, ESP, SSP, and USP)
Register stack pointers (KBSP, EBSP, SBSP, and UBSP)
Page table base register (PTBR0)
AST enable and summary registers (ASTEN and ASTSR)
Address space number registers (ASN0)
Floating point registers (F2 through F31, possibly F32 through F127)

The semaphore display, also produced by the /SEMAPHORE qualifier, provides information on the inner-mode semaphore used to synchronize kernel threads. The PC history log, recorded if the system parameter SYSTEM_CHECK is enabled, is also displayed.
The process header display, also produced by the /PHD qualifier, provides information taken from the PHD, which is swapped into memory when the process becomes part of the balance set. Each item listed in the display reflects a quantity, count, or limit for the process use of the following resources:

Process memory
The pager
The scheduler
Asynchronous system traps
I/O activity
CPU activity

The working set information and working set list displays, also produced by the /WORKING_SET_LIST qualifier, describe those virtual pages that the process can access without a page fault. After a brief description of the size, scope, and characteristics of the working set list itself, SDA displays information for each entry in the working set list as shown in Table 4-21.

Table 4-21 Working Set List Entry Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display
Column Contents

INDEX Index into the working set list at which information for this entry can be found

ADDRESS Virtual address of the page that this entry describes

STATUS Four columns that list the following status information:

Page status of VALID
Type of physical page (See Table 4-12)
Indication of whether the page has been modified
Indication of whether the page is locked into the working set

When SDA locates either one or more unused working set entries, or entries that do not match the specified option, it issues the following message:
---- n entries not displayed
In this message, n is the number (in decimal) of contiguous entries not displayed.
The process section table information and process section table displays, also produced by the /PROCESS_SECTION_TABLE or /PST qualifier, list each entry in the process section table (PST) and display the offsets to, and the indexes of, the first free entry and last used entry.
SDA displays the information listed in Table 4-22 for each PST entry.

Table 4-22 Process Section Table Entry Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display
Part Definition

INDEX Index number of the entry. Entries in the process section table begin at the highest location in the table, and the table expands toward lower addresses.

ADDRESS Address of the process section table entry.

SECTION ADDRESS Virtual address that marks the beginning of the first page of the section described by this entry.

CCB Address of the channel control block on which the section file is open.

PAGELETS Length of the process section. This is in units of pagelets, except for a PFN-mapped section in which the units are pages.

VBN Virtual block number. The number of the file's virtual block that is mapped into the section's first page.

WINDOW Address of the window control block on which the section file is open.

REFCNT Number of pages of this section that are currently mapped.

FLINK Forward link. The pointer to the next entry in the PST list.

BLINK Backward link. The pointer to the previous entry in the PST list.

FLAGS Flags that describe the access that processes have to the process section.

In addition, for each process section that has an associated file, the device and/or file name is displayed. For details of this display, see Table 4-24.
The regions display, also produced by the either of the /RDE or /REGIONS qualifiers, shows the contents of the region descriptors. This includes the three default regions (P0, P1, P2), plus any others created by the process. A single region will be displayed if you specify its identifier. The information displayed for each region includes the RDE address, the address range of the region, its identifiers and protection, and links to other RDEs.
If you use the /PAGE_TABLE or /PPT qualifier with /RDE or /REGION, the page table for the region is also displayed, as described below.
The P0 page table, P1 page table, P2 page table, and PT page table displays, also produced by the /PAGE_TABLES qualifier, display listings of the process page table entries in the same format as that produced by the SHOW PAGE_TABLE command (see Tables 4-8 through Table 4-13).
The RMS display, also produced by the /RMS qualifier, provides information on the RMS internal data structures for all RMS-accessed open files. The data structures displayed depend on the current setting of RMS options, as described under the SET RMS command and Table 4-3.
The locks display, also produced by the /LOCKS qualifier, provides information on the locks held by the process. For a full description of the information displayed for process locks, see the SHOW LOCKS command and Table 4-7. You can also specify the /BRIEF qualifier, which provides single-line summary of each process lock; however, no other qualifiers from SHOW LOCKS apply to SHOW PROCESS/LOCKS.
The process active channels display, also produced by the /CHANNEL qualifier, displays the information in Table 4-23 for each I/O channel assigned to the process.

Table 4-23 Process Active Channels in the SHOW PROCESS Display
Column Contents

Channel Number of the channel.

CCB The address of the channel control block (CCB).

Window Address of the window control block (WCB) for the file if the device is a file-oriented device; zero otherwise.

Status Status of the device: "Busy" if the device has an I/O operation outstanding; "Dpnd" if the device is deaccess pending; blank otherwise.

Device/file accessed Name of the device and, if applicable, name of the file being accessed on that device.

The information listed under the heading "Device/file accessed" varies from channel to channel and from process to process. SDA displays certain information according to the conditions listed in Table 4-24.

Table 4-24 Process I/O Channel Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display
Information Displayed¹ Type of Channel

dcuu: SDA displays this information for devices that are not file structured, such as terminals, and for processes that do not open files in the normal way.

dcuu: filespec SDA displays this information only if you are examining a running system, and only if your process has enough privilege to translate the file-id into the filespec, or if you are examining a dump for which file identification data ² has been collected.

dcuu:( file-id) The file-id no longer points to a valid filespec, as when you look at a dump that does not have file identification data ²; or the process in which you are running SDA does not have enough privilege to translate the file-id into the corresponding filespec.

(section file) The file in question is mapped into the process' memory.

¹This table uses the following conventions to identify the information displayed:
dcuu:(file-id)filespec
where:
dcuu: is the name of the device.
file-id is the RMS file identification, or
filespec is the full file specification, including directory name.
²For more information on file identification data, see the COLLECT and COPY/COLLECT commands.

The images display, also produced by the /IMAGES qualifier, describes the activated images in the process. SDA displays the information listed in Table 4-25 for each image, plus a summary line giving the total image and total page counts.

**Table 4-25 Image Information in the SHOW PROCESS Display**
Item	Description
Image Name	The name of the image.
Link Time ¹	The date and time the image was linked.
Section Type ¹	For shareable images, the data for each image section is displayed on a separate line. For privileged shareable images, data for the change mode vector is also displayed on a separate line.
Start ²	Start address of the image in process memory. For resident shareable images, this is the start address of the process-space portion of the image.
End ²	End address of the image in process memory. For resident shareable images, this is the end address of the process-space portion of the image.
Type	The image type and/or activation method, plus "PROT" for protected images and "SHR" for shareable images.
File ID ¹	The File ID for the image file. No attempt is made to translate this to a filename.
IMCB	The address of the Image Management Control Block.
GP ³	The Global Pointer for the image.
Sym Vect ¹	The address of the image's symbol vector, if any.
Maj, Minor ID ¹, ²	The major and minor revision IDs for the image.
Maj, Min ID, Match ¹, ³	The major and minor revision IDs for the image, plus the match control bits.
Base ¹	For Alpha shareable images and all Integrity server images, the base address of each image section and/or the change mode vector.
End ¹	For Alpha shareable images and all Integrity server images, the end address of each image section and/or the change mode vector.
ImageOff ¹	For Alpha shareable images and all Integrity server images, the virtual offset within the image file for each image section.

¹These items are only displayed with SHOW PROCESS/IMAGE=ALL or SHOW PROCESS/ALL.
²Alpha only.
³Integrity servers only.

The buffer objects display, also produced by the /BUFFER_OBJECTS qualifier, describes the buffer objects in use by the process. Information displayed by SDA for each buffer object includes its address, access mode, size, flags, plus the base virtual address of the object in process space and system space.

The fast I/O handles display, also produced by the /FANDLES qualifier, describes the fast I/O handles used by the process. Information displayed by SDA includes the address and size of the fast I/O handle vector header, then the address, corresponding IRP, state, and buffer object handles for each fast I/O handle, plus information on free vector entries.

The persona display, also produced by the /PERSONA qualifier, describes the Persona status block data structures. The default output of /PERSONA consists of summary information for all personae in use by the process (the PSB address, flags, user name) and information for each persona (privilege masks, UIC, and so on). When you specify /PERSONA/RIGHTS (as in SHOW PROCESS/ALL), all the rights currently held and active for each persona are also displayed. When you specify /PERSONA/RIGHTS/AUTHORIZED, all the rights authorized for each persona are displayed instead.

The pool display, also produced by the /POOL qualifier, describes the P0, P1 and IMGACT process pools. The default output of /POOL is the entire contents of each used block of pool. When you specify /POOL/HEADER (as in SHOW PROCESS/ALL), only the first 16 bytes of each used pool block is displayed. By default, all process pools are displayed. You can limit this using /POOL=P0, /POOL=P1 or /POOL=IMGACT. See the description of the SHOW POOL command for explanations of other qualifiers.

The Timer Queue Entry (TQE) display, also produced by the /TQE qualifier, describes all timer queue entries that affect the process. The default display (as in SHOW PROCESS/ALL) is a one-line summary of each TQE. If you specify /TQE=ALL, a detailed display of each TQE is given. No other qualifiers from the SHOW TQE command apply to SHOW PROCESS/TQE.
