Hello, I'm considering porting top(1) to Iris, and from looking at the work of a local guru who did a port for SunOS I saw that I'll have to find the U area of each process. Now, where is it? I think that knowing the virtual address will be a good start, but any further info (like how to read the U area through the proc structure) will be welcomed. Please e-mail responses. Thanks, Amos Shapira amoss@batata.huji.ac.il

The virtual u-area address won't help, you would need to track down the physical address, since the virtual address is the same for all processes. However, if you try 'man syssgi', look at SGI_RDUBLK, which should give you everything you want. Of course, since the u-struct often changes in each release, you many need to re-compile when you get a new release of IRIX. As Vernon mentioned, top is already a part of IRIX 3.3. -- Dave Olson Life would be so much easier if we could just look at the source code.

You might also be interested in gr_top(1), which is also in 3.3. It gives the same information as top(1), but it looks prettier and it's easy to read.
