.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays kernel
|
|
.Tn I/O
|
|
statistics on terminal, device and cpu operations.
|
|
The first statistics that are printed are averaged over the system uptime.
|
|
To get information about the current activity, a suitable wait time should
|
|
be specified, so that the subsequent sets of printed statistics will be
|
|
averaged over that time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Repeat the display
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
times.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Display CPU statistics.
|
|
This is on by default, unless
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is specified.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Display only device statistics.
|
|
If this flag is turned on, only device statistics will be displayed, unless
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
is also specified to enable the display of CPU or TTY statistics.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Put
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in
|
|
.Sq top
|
|
mode.
|
|
In this mode,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will show devices in order from highest to lowest bytes
|
|
per measurement cycle.
|
|
.It Fl I
|
|
Display total statistics for a given time period, rather than average
|
|
statistics for each second during that time period.
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
In the blocks transferred display (-o), display block count in kilobytes rather
|
|
then the device native block size.
|
|
.It Fl M
|
|
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
|
|
instead of the default
|
|
.Dq Pa /dev/kmem .
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Display up to
|
|
.Ar devs
|
|
number of devices.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility will display fewer devices if there aren't
|
|
.Ar devs
|
|
devices present.
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default
|
|
.Dq Pa /boot/kernel/kernel .
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
Display old-style
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device statistics.
|
|
Sectors per second, transfers per second, and milliseconds per seek are
|
|
displayed.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
is specified, total blocks/sectors, total transfers, and
|
|
milliseconds per seek are displayed.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Specify which types of devices to display.
|
|
There are three different categories of devices:

|
|
The user must specify at least one device type, and may specify at most
|
|
one device type from each category.
|
|
Multiple device types in a single device type statement must be separated by
|
|
commas.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any number of
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
arguments may be specified on the command line.
|
|
All
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
arguments are ORed together to form a matching expression against which
|
|
all devices in the system are compared.
|
|
Any device that fully matches any
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
argument will be included in the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
output, up to the number of devices that can be displayed in
|
|
80 columns, or the maximum number of devices specified by the user.
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
Display TTY statistics.
|
|
This is on by default, unless
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
is specified.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Pause
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
seconds between each display.
|
|
If no repeat
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is specified, the default is infinity.
|
|
.It Fl ?\&
|
|
Display a usage statement and exit.

The
|
|
.Nm

|
utility displays its information in the following format:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag

|
|
The header of the field is the device name and unit number.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
will display as many devices as will fit in a standard 80 column screen, or
|
|
the maximum number of devices in the system, whichever is smaller.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
is specified on the command line,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will display the smaller of the
|
|
requested number of devices, and the maximum number of devices in the system.
|
|
To force
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command
|
|
line.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility
|
|
will not display more devices than will fit in an 80 column screen, unless
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
argument is given on the command line to specify a maximum number of
|
|
devices to display.
|
|
If fewer devices are specified on the command line than will fit in an 80
|
|
column screen,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will show only the specified devices.

|
This version of

|

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
as a debugging tool for crash dumps is probably limited because there is
|
|
currently no way to get statistics that only cover the time immediately before
|
|
the crash.
