ZPRINT(1)                                                                                          ZPRINT(1)



NAME
       zprint - show information about kernel zones

SYNOPSIS
       zprint [-w] [-s] [-c] [-h] [name]

DESCRIPTION
       zprint(1)  displays  data  about Mach zones.  By default, zprint will print out information about all
       Mach zones.  If the optional name is specified, zprint will print information  about  each  zone  for
       which name is a substring of the zone's name.

       zprint interprets the following options:

       -c      (Default)  zprint  prints  zone  info in columns. Long zone names are truncated with '$', and
               spaces are replaced with '.', to allow for sorting by column.  Pageable and collectible zones
               are  shown  with  'P' and 'C' on the far right. Zones with preposterously large maximum sizes
               are shown with '----' in the max size and max num elts fields.

       -h      (Default) Shows headings for the columns printed with the -c option.  It  may  be  useful  to
               override this option when sorting by column.

       -s      zprint sorts the zones, showing the wasting the most memory first.

       -w      For  each  zone,  zprint calculates how much space is allocated but not currently in use, the
               space wasted by the zone.

       Any option (including default options) can be overridden by specifying the option in upper-case;  for
       example, -C overrides the (default) option -c.
