unix - What does this paragraph in the ps man page mean? -
i not understand following description:
lift bsd-style "only yourself" restriction, imposed upon set of processes when bsd-style (without "-") options used or when ps personality setting bsd-like. set of processes selected in manner in addition set of processes selected other means. alternate description option causes ps list processes terminal (tty), or list processes when used x option. only thing understand an alternate description xxxx. lift bsd-style "only yourself" restriction , other sentences mean?
by default, bsd version of ps (and, extension, linux's ps when treated bsd ps passing bsd-style options or setting ps_personality or cmd_env environment variable bsd) lists processes owned user running ps.
the a argument lifts restriction , show processes regardless of owner.
