       -f     Do full-format listing.  This option can be combined with many
              other Unix-style options to add additional columns.  It also
              causes the command arguments to be printed.  When used with -L,
              the NLWP (number of threads) and LWP (thread ID) columns will be
              added.  See the c option, the format keyword args, and the
              format keyword comm.

       O <?><?>
              is preloaded o (overloaded).  The BSD O option can act like -O
              (user-defined output format with some common fields predefined)
              or can be used to specify sort order.  Heuristics are used to
              determine the behavior of this option.  To ensure that the
              desired behavior is obtained (sorting or formatting), specify
              the option in some other way (e.g., with -O or --sort).  When
              used as a formatting option, it is identical to -O, with the BSD
              personality.

       -o <?><?>
              User-defined format.  format is a single argument in the form of
              a blank-separated or comma-separated list, which offers a way to
              specify individual output columns.  The recognized keywords are
              described in the STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS section below.
              Headers may be renamed (ps -o pid,ruser=RealUser -o
              comm=Command)  as desired.  If all column headers are empty (ps
              -o pid= -o comm=)  then the header line will not be output.
              Column width will increase as needed for wide headers; this may
              be used to widen up columns such as WCHAN (ps -o pid,wchan=WIDE-
              WCHAN-COLUMN -o comm).  Explicit width control (ps opid,
              wchan:42,cmd)  is offered too.  The behavior of ps -o pid=X,
              comm=Y varies with personality; output may be one column named
              "X,comm=Y" or two columns named "X" and "Y".  Use multiple -o
              options when in doubt.  Use the PS_FORMAT environment variable
              to specify a default as desired; DefSysV and DefBSD are macros
              that may be used to choose the default Unix or BSD columns.

              FORMAT SPECIFIERS section.  The "+" is optional since default
              direction is increasing numerical or lexicographic order.

       O <?><?>
              Sorting order (overloaded).  The BSD O option can act like -O
              (user-defined output format with some common fields predefined)
              or can be used to specify sort order.  Heuristics are used to
              determine the behavior of this option.  To ensure that the
              desired behavior is obtained (sorting or formatting), specify
              the option in some other way (e.g., with -O or --sort).

              For sorting, obsolete BSD O option syntax is
              O[+|-]k1[,[+|-]k2[,...]].  It orders the processes listing
              according to the multilevel sort specified by the sequence of
              one-letter short keys k1,k2, ..." described in the OBSOLETE SORT
              KEYS section below.  The "+" is currently optional, merely
              re-iterating the default direction on a key, but may help to
              distinguish an O sort from an O format.  The "-" reverses
              direction only on the key it precedes.

              STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS section.  The "+" is optional since

       Commands options such as ps -aux are not recommended as it is a
       confusion of two different standards.  According to the POSIX and Unix
       standards, the above command asks to display all processes with a TTY
       (generally the commands users are running) plus all processes owned by
       a user named x.  If that user doesn't exist, then ps will assume you
       really meant "ps aux".

       These keys are used by the BSD O option (when it is used for sorting).
       The GNU --sort option doesn't use these keys, but the specifiers
       described below in the STANDARD FORMAT SPECIFIERS section.  Note that
       the values used in sorting are the internal values ps uses and not the
       "cooked" values used in some of the output format fields (e.g., sorting
       on tty will sort into device number, not according to the terminal name
       displayed).  Pipe ps output into the sort(1)  command if you want to
       sort the cooked values.

       args         COMMAND    A command with all its arguments as a string.
                               Modifications to the arguments may be shown.
                               The output in this column may contain spaces. A
                               process marked "<defunct>" is partly dead,
                               waiting to be fully destroyed by its parent.
                               Sometimes the process arguments will be
                               unavailable; when this happens, ps instead
                               reports the executable name in brackets. (alias
                               cmd, command). See also the comm format
                               keyword, the -f option, and the c option. When
                               specified last, this column will extend to the
                               edge of the display. If ps can not determine
                               the display width, as when output is redirected
                               (piped) into a file or another command, the
                               output width is undefined (it may be 80,
                               unlimited, determined by the TERM variable, and
                               so on). The COLUMNS environment variable or
                               --cols option may be used to exactly determine
                               the width in this case. The w or -w option may
                               be also be used to adjust width.

       ps was originally written by Branko Lankester <lankeste@fwi.uva.nl>.
       Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com> re-wrote it significantly to
       use the proc filesystem, changing a few things in the process.  Michael
       Shields <mjshield@nyx.cs.du.edu> added the pid-list feature.  Charles
       Blake <cblake@bbn.com> added multi-level sorting, the dirent-style
       library, the device name-to-number mmaped database, the approximate
       binary search directly on System.map, and many code and documentation
       cleanups.  David Mossberger-Tang wrote the generic BFD support for
       psupdate.  Albert Cahalan <albert@users.sf.net> rewrote ps for full
       Unix98 and BSD support, along with some ugly hacks for obsolete and
       foreign syntax.
