# nt_pinfo command

The nt_pinfo command obtains and displays information about
 threads.

## Syntax

```
nt_pinfo {(options}
```

## Parameter(s)

| options | b | Displays block counts (AllocB and CommtB). This cannot be used with the u option unless the w option is used. |
| --- | --- | --- |
| l | Loops displaying the delta CPU usage information for any ports that have consumed CPU within the last 1 second. Useful for finding active CPU consumers. Press the X key to exit. | |
| m | Displays the virtual memory size in megabytes (MB). | |
| s | Suppress the display of the virtual memory statistics (overrides the v option). | |
| t | Displays the totals for the AllocK, AllocB, CommtK, and CommtB columns. | |
| u | Displays the user-ID in the report. This cannot be used with the b option unless the w option is used. | |
| v | Displays only virtual memory (process virtual address space) and page file statistics. When used with the m option, the display is in MB. | |
| w | Wide display. | |
| z | Displays all configured ports, including those that do not have an associated thread. | |

## Description

The nt_pinfo command displays a report showing the PIBs (line numbers), the
 associated thread-id, CPU and memory utilization, and the name of
 the associated device.

## Example(s)

| User | User CPU time since thread started. |
| Kernel | Kernel CPU time since thread started. |
| AllocK | The amount of memory in KB that a thread currently has allocated. |
| AllocB | The number of blocks of memory of any size a thread currently has allocated. |
| CommtK | The total amount of memory in KB that a thread currently has allocated plus cached. |
| CommtB | The total number of blocks of memory of any size a thread currently has allocated plus cached. |
| Device | The name of the device associated with this PIB. |
