| Description |
displays the current pib status bit settings for a given value.
The "value" is the two-byte pib status returned by the "where" command, under the column labeled "PIB Stat". The PIB Stat is perhaps the most useful indication of resource usage on a Pick machine. The first 2 digits of this value indicate the "state" of a process. Here are some of the more common values: F3xx Waiting-for-input or displaying text E3xx Waiting-for-input or displaying text with echo off F5xx Displaying text, but line is in XOFF (Ctrl-S) state FFxx Process is currently using the CPU BFxx Process is currently sleeping DFxx Process id currently requesting disk I/O |
