Hello,
The last line of prstat shows load average.
I am unable to figure out what actually it is.

Can somebody help me, as to what should be the avg. load of the system for best performance and how is this load of prstat calculated. (6 Replies)

Found a command 'prstat -m' which is meant to show more details on each pid but the output of this command... (1 Reply)

Hi Export,
i execute 'top' command to show the free memory in Solaris host, but the read is much lower than the RSS value shown in prstat command. Which one can reflect the real status and it is possible the difference caused by any patch of OS?

SHMGET(2) BSD System Calls Manual SHMGET(2)
NAME
shmget -- get shared memory area identifier
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/shm.h>
int
shmget(key_t key, size_t size, int shmflg);
DESCRIPTION
shmget() returns the shared memory identifier associated with the key key.
A shared memory segment is created if either key is equal to IPC_PRIVATE, or key does not have a shared memory segment identifier associated
with it, and the IPC_CREAT bit is set in shmflg.
If a new shared memory segment is created, the data structure associated with it (the shmid_ds structure, see shmctl(2)) is initialized as
follows:
o shm_perm.cuid and shm_perm.uid are set to the effective uid of the calling process.
o shm_perm.gid and shm_perm.cgid are set to the effective gid of the calling process.
o shm_perm.mode is set to the lower 9 bits of shmflg.
o shm_lpid, shm_nattch, shm_atime, and shm_dtime are set to 0
o shm_ctime is set to the current time.
o shm_segsz is set to the value of size.
o The ftok(3) function may be used to generate a key from a pathname.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion a positive shared memory segment identifier is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The shmget() system call will fail if:
[EACCES] A shared memory segment is already associated with key and the caller has no permission to access it.
[EEXIST] Both IPC_CREAT and IPC_EXCL are set in shmflg, and a shared memory segment is already associated with key.
[EINVAL] No shared memory segment is to be created, and a shared memory segment exists for key, but the size of the segment associ-
ated with it is less than size, which is non-zero.
[ENOENT] IPC_CREAT was not set in shmflg and no shared memory segment associated with key was found.
[ENOMEM] There is not enough memory left to created a shared memory segment of the requested size.
[ENOSPC] A new shared memory identifier could not be created because the system limit for the number of shared memory identifiers
has been reached.
LEGACY SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/ipc.h>
#include <sys/shm.h>
int
shmget(key_t key, int size, int shmflg);
All of these include files are necessary. The type of size has changed.
