<para>
Displays a list of processes running on the system. Normally only
processes having the user's ID are listed, but if the &quot;-e&quot; option is
given, processes of all users are listed. The display is a
&quot;snapshot&quot; taken at the instant the command is executed: processes
can switch states rapidly, usually many times per second.
</para>
