Very Computer

I was wondering what the "C" field is in "top" on an SMP 3.2-RELEASE
box.  Here is a sample of my top output: (I am building world now with
make -j8 and it is rocking all over :-)

last pid: 38852;  load averages:  2.75,  1.17,  0.51    up 2+04:48:48  23:30:26
76 processes:  1 running, 72 sleeping, 3 zombie
CPU states: 24.1% user,  0.0% nice, 34.8% system,  0.2% interrupt, 40.9% idle
Mem: 78M Active, 10M Inact, 23M Wired, 4996K Cache, 7735K Buf, 7236K Free
Swap: 256M Total, 3508K Used, 252M Free, 1% Inuse

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE  SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
28008 rowland    2   0 29848K 27516K select 1   3:10  6.30%  6.30% XF86_SVGA
28662 rowland    2   0  2560K  1880K select 1   0:04  2.20%  2.20% xterm
  272 root       2   0   788K   256K select 0   1:11  0.15%  0.15% moused
38772 root       2   0   400K   264K select 0   0:00  2.00%  0.10% make

I looked quickly at the src code for top, but I didn't get it from
that.  I am going to check this out further soon, but I was wondering
if I could get a quick answer here.  Is the "C" field the processor
which a process is running on?  I would think that, but sometimes the
"STATE" says cup0 and the "C" says 1.

Thanks in advance.

It is something like this - it may be the last cpu it was running on.
('cos top can't processes getting rescheduled while it is running the
info it shows could be inconsistant on occasion).
