It would be like asking "how are you getting by?" or "how are you doing?"
It's not a common expression anymore.

thank you for answering!
I was watching this drama “Sinner”
and the lawyer met this guy who is just arrested in prison for the first time and said “how you fairing?”
Is it inappropriate to say “how are you?” in this situation?

@ykengene In this context he wants to know how the prisoner is doing specifically in prison. How he is surviving in prison, more or less. So you'd need something a bit stronger and more direct than simply a "How are you" in this case. He could have said, "How are you getting by (in prison)?" Something like that. You could ask, "How are you?" but it probably wouldn't have the same impact.
