In addition, administrators may specify the option +cache to receive a visual map of the object cache in memory. An example of what it may look like is:

Cache Size: 61x10
Cache Map (Horizontal):
 +--------------------------- WIDTH ---------------------------
D|A.A.....I...........aa...................a.....A.......I.....
E|......................I...................................II.
P|..................I...........................I..............
T|......I.........I.............................I..............
H|...........I....II..............I.....I......................
 |.............I....I..........................................
 |................... ............. ..........  ......... .....
 |.... ....I... .....  ...........  ..........  ......... .....
 |...   ....... .....      ... ...  I.........   .......   ....
 |.      ...  . ..  .           .   ..            .. .     ....
 +-------------------------------------------------------------

If the width of the cache is too wide to fit the screen, it will be displayed vertically instead of horizontally. In the map the character 'a' represents an active object. If it is capitalized it represents an active dirty object. If it is a capital 'I' it represents an inactive dirty object. Periods represent inactive clean objects which will not have to be written to disk. Keep in mind that an active object is only in reference to those used in the current task--that being the task which is displaying the cache map.
