Sh SYNOPSIS
Nm
Op Fl bnz
Op Fl M Ar core
Op Fl N Ar system
Op Fl t Ar turns
Op Fl w Ar wait
Op Ar display
Op Ar wait
Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
displays various system statistics in a screen oriented fashion
using the
Xr curses 3
screen display library.
Pp
While
Nm
is running the screen is usually divided into two windows
Pq an exception is the vmstat display which uses the entire screen .
The upper window depicts the current system load average.
The information displayed in the lower window may vary, depending on
user commands.
The last line on the screen is reserved for user input and error messages.
Pp
By default
Nm
displays the processes getting the largest percentage of the processor
in the lower window.
Other displays show more detailed process information,
swap space usage,
disk usage statistics
Pq a\~la Xr df 1 ,
disk I/O statistics
Pq a\~la Xr iostat 8 ,
virtual memory statistics
Pq a\~la Xr vmstat 1 ,
network mbuf utilization,
network interface traffic,
and network connections
Pq a\~la Xr netstat 1 .
Pp
Input is interpreted at two different levels.
A global command interpreter processes all keyboard input.
If this command interpreter fails to recognize a command, the
input line is passed to a per-display command interpreter.
This allows each display to have certain display-specific commands.
Pp
Command line options:
Bl -tag -width Fl
It Fl b
Show the chosen display once and exit.
It Fl M Ar core
Extract values associated with the name list from
Ar core
instead of the default
Pa /dev/mem .
It Fl N Ar system
Extract the name list from
Ar system
instead of the default
Pa /netbsd .
It Fl n
Do not resolve IP addresses into string hostnames
Pf ( Tn FQDN Ns s ) .
It has the same effect as
Ic numbers
subcommand in
Ic netstat .
It Fl t Ar turns
How many refresh cycles to show each screen in
Sq all
display mode.
The default is 2.
It Fl w Ar wait
Set the screen refresh interval to
Ar wait
seconds.
Floating point numbers are accepted.
The default is 1\~second.
It Fl z
Display 0 instead of space when there is no data.
It Ar display
The
Ar display
argument expects to be one of:
Ic all ,
Ic bufcache ,
Ic df ,
Ic ifstat ,

It Ic \&:
Move the cursor to the command line and interpret the input
line typed as a command.
While entering a command the current character erase, word erase,
and line kill characters may be used.
El
Pp
The following commands are interpreted by the global
command interpreter.
Bl -tag -width Ic
It Ic help Op Ar key
Print the names of the available displays on the command line.
It will print long names as
Ql inet.* .
To print items under
Ic inet ,
give
Ic inet
as
Ar key .
It Ic load
Print the load average over the past 1, 5, and 15 minutes
on the command line.
It Ic quit
Exit
Nm  .
Pq This may be abbreviated to Ic q .
It Oo Ic start Oc Oo Ar number Oc
Start (continue) refreshing the screen.
If a second, numeric, argument is provided it is interpreted as a
refresh interval in seconds.
Supplying only a number will set the refresh interval to this
value.
It Ic stop
Stop refreshing the screen.
El
Pp
The available displays are:
Bl -tag -width Ic
It Ic all
Cycle through all displays automatically.
At each display, wait some
refresh-turns, then switch to the next display.
Duration of one refresh-turn is adjustable with the
Fl w
option, number of refresh-turns can be changed with the
Fl t
option.
It Ic bufcache
Display, in the lower window, statistics about the file system buffers.
Statistics for each file system that has active buffers include the number
of buffers for that file system, the number of active kilobytes in those
buffers and the total size of the buffers for that file system.
It Ic df
Lists disk usage statistics for all filesystems,
including the available free space as well as a bar
graph indicating the used capacity.

El
It Ic ifstat
Display the network traffic going through active interfaces on the
system.
Idle interfaces will not be displayed until they receive some
traffic.
Pp
For each interface being displayed, the current, peak and total
statistics are displayed for incoming and outgoing traffic.
By default,
the
Ic ifstat
display will automatically scale the units being used so that they are
in a human-readable format.
The scaling units used for the current and
peak
traffic columns can be altered by the
Ic scale
command.
Bl -tag -width Cm
It Cm scale Op Ar units
Modify the scale used to display the current and peak traffic over all
interfaces.
The following units are recognised:
Ic kbit , kbyte , mbit , mbyte , gbit , gbyte

Pp
Dl match re0, bge1
Pp
This will display
Li re0
and
Li bge1

the syscall.
El
It Ic vmstat
Take over the entire display and show a (rather crowded) compendium
of statistics related to virtual memory usage, process scheduling,
device interrupts, system name translation caching, disk I/O etc.
Pp
The upper left quadrant of the screen shows the number
of users logged in and the load average over the last one, five,
and fifteen minute intervals.
Below this are statistics on memory utilization.
The first row of the table reports memory usage only among
active processes, that is processes that have run in the previous
twenty seconds.
The second row reports on memory usage of all processes.
The first column reports on the number of physical pages
claimed by processes.
The second column reports the number of physical pages that
are devoted to read only text pages.
The third and fourth columns report the same two figures for
virtual pages, that is the number of pages that would be
needed if all processes had all of their pages.
Finally the last column shows the number of physical pages
on the free list.
Pp
Below the memory display is a list of the
average number of processes (over the last refresh interval)
that are runnable (`r'), in page wait (`p'),
in disk wait other than paging (`d'), sleeping (`s').
Below the queue length listing is a numerical listing and
a bar graph showing the amount of
system (shown as `='), user (shown as `>'),
nice (shown as `-'), and idle time (shown as ` ').
Pp
To the right of the process statistics is a column that
lists the average number of context switches (`Csw'),
traps (`Traps'; includes page faults), system calls (`SysCa'), interrupts (`Intr'),
network software interrupts (`Soft'),
page faults (`Fault').
Pp
Below this are statistics on memory utilization.
The first row of the table reports memory usage only among
active processes, that is processes that have run in the previous
twenty seconds.
The second row reports on memory usage of all processes.
The first column reports on the number of physical pages
claimed by processes.
The second column reports the number of pages of memory and swap.
The third column gives the number of pages of free memory and swap.
Pp
Below the memory display are statistics on name translations.
It lists the number of names translated in the previous interval,
the number and percentage of the translations that were
handled by the system wide name translation cache, and
the number and percentage of the translations that were
handled by the per process name translation cache.
Pp
At the bottom left is the disk usage display.
It reports the number of seeks, transfers, number
of kilobyte blocks transferred per second averaged over the
refresh period of the display (by default, five seconds), and
the time spent in disk accesses.
If there are more than five disks, and the terminal window has more
than 24 lines, the disks display will be flipped so that more
of the disk statistics are visible.
Pp
Under the date in the upper right hand quadrant are statistics
on paging and swapping activity.
The first two columns report the average number of pages
brought in and out per second over the last refresh interval
due to page faults and the paging daemon.
The third and fourth columns report the average number of pages
brought in and out per second over the last refresh interval
due to swap requests initiated by the scheduler.
The first row of the display shows the average
number of disk transfers per second over the last refresh interval;
the second row of the display shows the average
number of pages transferred per second over the last refresh interval.
Pp
Below the paging statistics is another columns of paging data.
From top to bottom, these represent:
Pp
Bl -tag -width Fl -compact
It Sq Ic forks
number of
Fn fork
calls
It Sq Ic fkppw
number of
Fn fork
calls where parent waits
It Sq Ic fksvm
number of
Fn fork
calls where vmspace is shared
It Sq Ic pwait
number of times fault had to wait on a page
It Sq Ic relck
number of times
Fn uvmfault_relock
is called
It Sq Ic rlkok
number of times
Fn uvmfault_relock
is a success
It Sq Ic noram
number of times fault was out of RAM
It Sq Ic ndcpy
number of times fault clears ``needs copy''
It Sq Ic fltcp
number of times fault promotes with copy (2b)
It Sq Ic zfod
number of times fault promotes with zerofill (2b)
It Sq Ic cow
number of times faulted for anonymous for Copy-On-Write (case 1b)
It Sq Ic fmin
min number of free pages
It Sq Ic ftarg
target number of free pages
It Sq Ic itarg
target number of inactive pages
It Sq Ic flnan
number of times fault was out of anonymous pages
It Sq Ic pdfre
number of pages daemon freed since boot
It Sq Ic pdscn
number of pages daemon scanned since boot
El
Pp
Note that the `%zfod' percentage is usually less than 100%,
however it may exceed 100% if a large number of requests
are actually used long after they were set up during a
period when no new pages are being set up.
Thus this figure is most interesting when observed over
a long time period, such as from boot time
(see below on getting such a display).
Pp
To the left of the column of paging statistics is a breakdown
of the interrupts being handled by the system.
At the top of the list is the total interrupts per second
over the time interval.
The rest of the column breaks down the total on a device
by device basis.
Only devices that have interrupted at least once since boot time are shown.
El
Pp
Commands to switch between displays may be abbreviated to the
minimum unambiguous prefix; for example,
Ic io
for
Ic iostat .
Certain information may be discarded when the screen size is
insufficient for display.
For example, on a machine with 10 drives the
Ic iostat
bar graph displays only 3 drives on a 24 line terminal.
When a bar graph would overflow the allotted screen space it is
truncated and the actual value is printed ``over top'' of the bar.
Pp
The following commands are common to each display which shows
information about disk drives.
These commands are used to select a set of drives to report on,
should your system have more drives configured than can normally
be displayed on the screen.
Drives may be specified as drive names or as patterns specified in the
notation described by
Xr fnmatch 3 .
Pp
Bl -tag -width Ar -compact
It Cm display Op Ar drives
Display information about the drives indicated.
Multiple drives may be specified, separated by spaces.
It Cm ignore Op Ar drives
Do not display information about the drives indicated.
Multiple drives may be specified, separated by spaces.
It Cm drives Op Ar drives
With no arguments, display a list of available drives.
With arguments, replace the list of currently displayed drives
with the ones specified.
El
Pp
The following commands are specific to the
Ic inet.* ,
Ic inet6.* ,
Ic syscall
and
Ic vmstat
displays; the minimum unambiguous prefix may be supplied.
Pp
Bl -tag -width Ar -compact
It Cm boot
Display cumulative statistics since the system was booted.
It Cm run
Display statistics as a running total from the point this
command is given.
It Cm time
Display statistics averaged over the refresh interval (the default).

Sh HISTORY
The
Nm
program appeared in
Bx 4.3 .
Sh BUGS
Consumes CPU resources and thus may skew statistics.
Pp
Certain displays presume a minimum of 80 characters per line.
Pp
The
Ic vmstat
display looks out of place because it is (it was added in as
a separate display from what used to be a different program).
Pp
The
Fl b
option requires a real terminal and could be converted to
simply output to standard output.
