Hi Soledad,

There is no other documentation for b2g-ps.

Regular ps produces way more output than most people need.
It also shows all of the child-content processes as merely plugin-container

Basically, the single most useful thing that b2g-ps does is to show the app 
name associated with a given child-content process.
And it only shows the b2g process and its direct descendants.

b2g-ps passes on any options to ps, the most useful of which is the -t option. 
This allows you to see the threads within a process.

There is another related utility called b2g-info, which dumps out a bunch of 
memory information about the b2g processes as well. We include the
b2g-info output when you grab an about:memory dump.
