-g Interpret all operands as unsigned decimal integer process group IDs. |
-n increment Specify how the nice value of the specified process or processes is to be adjusted. The increment option-argument is a positive or negative decimal integer that shall be used to modify the nice value of the specified process or processes. Positive increment values shall cause a lower nice value. Negative increment values may require appropriate privileges and shall cause a higher nice value. |
-p Interpret all operands as unsigned decimal integer process IDs. The -p option is the default if no options are specified. |
-u Interpret all operands as users. If a user exists with a user name equal to the operand, then the user ID of that user is used in further processing. Otherwise, if the operand represents an unsigned decimal integer, it shall be used as the numeric user ID of the user. |
