Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.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 repeat
|
|
.Ar count
|
|
is specified, the default depends on whether
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
is specified.
|
|
With
|
|
.Fl w
|
|
the default repeat count is infinity, otherwise it is 1.
|
|
.It Fl C
|
|
Display CPU statistics.
|
|
This is on by default, unless
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
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 are not
|
|
.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:

.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
is specified.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Pause
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
seconds between each display.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ar wait
|
|
interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command will accept and honor a non-integer number of seconds.
|
|
Note that the interval only has millisecond granularity.
|
|
Finer values will be truncated.
|
|
E.g.,
|
|
.Dq Li -w1.0001
|
|
is the same as
|
|
.Dq Li -w1.000 .
|
|
The interval will also suffer from modifications to
|
|
.Va kern.hz
|
|
so your mileage may vary.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Show extended disk statistics.
|
|
Each disk is displayed on a line of its own with all available statistics.
|
|
If this flag is turned on, only disk statistics will be displayed, unless
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl T
|
|
is also specified to enable the display of CPU or TTY statistics.
|
|
.It Fl z
|
|
If
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
is specified, omit lines for devices with no activity.
|
|
.It Fl ?\&
|
|
Display a usage statement and exit.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility displays its information in the following format:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|

|
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact

|
|
.El
|
|
.It devices
|
|
Device operations.
|
|
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.

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.
