<h1> The s6-instance-status program </h1>

<p>
s6-instance-status gives the status of a running instance of an
<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a>, as a short human-readable
summary or programmatically parsable output.
</p>

<h2> Interface </h2>

<pre>
     s6-instance-status [ -uwNrpest | -o up,wantedup,normallyup,ready,paused,pid,exitcode,signal,signum,updownsince,readysince,updownfor,readyfor ] [ -n ] <em>servicedir</em> <em>name</em>
</pre>

<ul>
 <li> s6-instance-status expects a running, supervised
<a href="instances.html">instanced service</a> in <em>servicedir</em>,
as well as an existing instance of this service named <em>name</em>. </li>
 <li> It prints information to stdout about the monitored instance of <em>servicedir</em> named <em>name</em>. </li>
 <li> It exits 0. </li>
</ul>

<h2> Exit codes </h2>

<ul>
 <li> 0: success </li>
 <li> 100: wrong usage </li>
 <li> 111: system call failed </li>
</ul>

<h2> Options </h2>

<p>
 The options are exactly the same as the ones understood by <a href="s6-svstat.html">s6-svstat</a>.
</p>

<p>
 In fact, s6-instance-status is
nothing more than a call to <a href="s6-svstat.html">s6-svstat</a> on the service
directory representing the <em>name</em> instance. It is syntactic sugar so
the user does not have to depend on the internal representation of instances
and the location of instances' service directories.
