vmbypid.d - virtual memory stats by PID. Uses DTrace. vmbypid.d vmbypid.d is a simple DTrace program to print Virtual Memory statistics by process. The virtual memory statistics are documented in the cpu_vminfo struct in the /usr/include/sys/sysinfo.h file; and also in the vminfo provider chapter of the DTrace Guide, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/E22973. Since this uses DTrace, only the root user or users with the dtrace_kernel privilege can run this command. Solaris stable - needs the vminfo provider.

Sample until Ctrl-C is hit then print report, # vmbypid.d

See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with verbose descriptions explaining the output. vmbypid.d will sample until Ctrl-C is hit. Brendan Gregg [Sydney, Australia] dtrace(1M), vmstat(1M)
