The command "prstat -m" is used to display detailed information about the memory usage of processes running on a Unix or Unix-like operating system.

Here is a breakdown of each component of the command:

• "prstat" is a command-line utility that provides information about the resource consumption (CPU, memory, etc.) of processes on a Unix system. It is often used to monitor system performance and identify resource-intensive processes.

• "-m" is an option or flag used with the "prstat" command. In this case, "-m" specifies that the command should display detailed memory information.

When executed, the "prstat -m" command will show a table of information that includes various memory-related statistics for each running process. This typically includes the amount of physical memory (RES), shared memory (SHR), and other memory-related information consumed by each process. It helps in identifying processes that are using excessive memory and can aid in troubleshooting memory-related performance issues.
