PS(1) PS(1) 

NAME 
ps, psu - process status 

SYNOPSIS 
ps [ -pa ] 

psu [ -pa ] [ user ] 

[snip] 
With the -p flag, ps also prints, after the system time, the 
baseline and current priorities of each process. 

The -a flag causes ps to print the arguments for the pro- 
cess. Newlines in arguments will be translated to spaces 
for display. 

plan9port's ps does not have a '-e' option, if given it is ignore. 

Checking the script, ps uses the os version of ps and the arguments -axww
