PRSTAT Info in Solaris 8

How do i read prstat information in Solaris 8?

The information like CPU usage memory are given for particular user and the usage and CPU usage cannot be for a specific user. Is it not overall for the system or for processes.

Most people use top as it gives you additional information over prstat, such as system CPU utilisation.

In our organization we do not have access to install these and we are using "prstat". Please help me in this.

PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP

With respect to specific user what does the value say for CPU. Is it is the usage for that user?

In the below list for "prstat -a" some times MEMORY goes to 100%.
How can it go for a specific user? Is it cumulative?
What is NPROC?
What is RSS and how do i interpret for Solaris machine user say "maestro"?

NPROC USERNAME SIZE RSS MEMORY TIME CPU
4 maestro 22M 14M 0.2% 0:06.53 0.3%
64 root 272M 175M 2.1% 1:11.41 0.2%
3 rxfrapp1 9240K 5744K 0.1% 0:00.00 0.0%
3 mqm 15M 8472K 0.1% 0:00.00 0.0%
1 patrol 7592K 5456K 0.1% 0:00.01 0.0%
