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.
