\section jobs jobs - print currently running jobs

\subsection jobs-synopsis Synopsis

jobs [OPTIONS] [PID]
\endfish

\subsection jobs-description Description
`jobs` prints a list of the currently
running <a href="index.html#syntax-job-control">jobs</a> and their status.

jobs accepts the following switches:

- `-c` or `--command` prints the command name for each process in jobs.
- `-g` or `--group` only prints the group ID of each job.
- `-h` or `--help` displays a help message and exits.
- `-l` or `--last` prints only the last job to be started.
- `-p` or `--pid` prints the process ID for each process in all jobs.

On systems that supports this feature, jobs will print the CPU usage
of each job since the last command was executed. The CPU usage is
expressed as a percentage of full CPU activity. Note that on
multiprocessor systems, the total activity may be more than 100\%.

\subsection jobs-example Example

`jobs` outputs a summary of the current jobs.
