Lately I've noticed a parameter attached to a lot of my processes that looks something like this:
-psn_X_YYYYYY where X appears to be a single digit number and the Y is a much bigger number. At first I thought it was a 1's complement number but that theory was shot out the door as the number seemed to be growing beyond the boundary size I was initially seeing (as I thought it was originally trying to tell me something about negative offsets or something). I notice it when I do a ps -efwww and am grepping for something which I then pipe into an awk to parse out a process id or something to do further work to perhaps do a dtruss or something like that. Anyways, this is probably a dumb question, but I tried googling and didn't seem to find an answer for what it means. So what does the psn mean and what do x & y mean?
