While saying 'ps -j', I get the following (shortened):

USER       PID  PPID  PGID   SESS JOBC STAT TT       TIME COMMAND
root       244   241   244 6c0ac0    0 Is+  p0    0:00.35 -csh (tcsh)
root       242   233   242 6c02a0    0 Ss   p1    0:00.42 -csh (tcsh)
root       220     1   220 6c10c0    0 Is   e5    0:00.58 -tcsh (tcsh)

1. What does the dash ('-') in front of the csh mean?
2. What does the shell in brackets mean?

I didn't find this in ps(1), or any UNIX book (well, it must be in
there but I didn't find it).
