How can I display a new column output from the ps command in FreeBSD?

Should I change ps.c or print.c in following directory, re-build the kernel and install it?

usr/src/bin/ps

which part of code should be changed?

    Er, are you asking about Linux or FreeBSD? They are not the same thing. –  Mar 14 '13 at 05:42
  • You may want to have a look at the option `-O`. Besides that, you may want to reformulate your question. – sstn Mar 15 '13 at 04:03

It depends on what you whant to display.

If the information you want can already be found in the KEYWORDS section of the manual page, you can use the -O option to display it.

Otherwise you will either hace to hack the source code, or use another utility altogether. When you decide to edit the source, I think you should start with keyword.c, to add a new keyword for whatever you want to display.
