.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Vmstat
reports certain kernel statistics kept about process, virtual memory,
disk, trap and cpu activity.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl b
Formatted numbers use a brief format which some may find
more readable with looped output.
.It Fl c
Repeat the display
.Ar count
times.
The first display is for the time since a reboot and each subsequent
report is for the time period since the last display.
If no repeat
.Ar count
is specified, and
.Fl w
is specified, the default is infinity, otherwise the default is one.
.\" .It Fl f
.\" Report on the number
.\" .Xr fork 2
.\" and
.\" .Xr vfork 2
.\" system calls since system startup, and the number of pages of virtual memory
.\" involved in each.
.It Fl i
Report on the number of interrupts taken by each device since system
startup.
.It Fl M
Extract values associated with the name list from the specified
.Ar core
instead of the default
.Pa /dev/kmem .
.It Fl N
Extract the name list from the specified
.Ar system
instead of the default
.Pa /boot/kernel .
.It Fl m
Report on the usage of kernel dynamic memory listed first by size of
allocation and then by type of usage.
.It Fl n
Change the maximum number of disks to display from the default of 2.
.It Fl o
Report the usage of kernel object cache.
It only works on the running system.
.It Fl p
Specify which types of devices to display.  There are three different
categories of devices:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It device type:
.Bl -tag -width 9n -compact
.It da
Direct Access devices
.It sa
Sequential Access devices
.It printer
Printers
.It proc
Processor devices
.It worm
Write Once Read Multiple devices
.It cd
CD devices
.It scanner
Scanner devices
.It optical
Optical Memory devices
.It changer
Medium Changer devices
.It comm
Communication devices
.It array
Storage Array devices
.It enclosure
Enclosure Services devices
.It floppy
Floppy devices
.El
.Pp
.It interface:
.Bl -tag -width 9n -compact
.It IDE
Integrated Drive Electronics devices
.It SCSI
Small Computer System Interface devices
.It other
Any other device interface
.El
.Pp
.It passthrough:
.Bl -tag -width 9n -compact
.It pass
Passthrough devices
.El
.El
.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 p
arguments may be specified on the command line.  All
.Fl p
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 p
argument will be included in the
.Nm
output, up to three devices, or the maximum number of devices specified
by the user.
.It Fl s
Display the contents of the
.Em sum
structure, giving the total number of several kinds of paging related
events which have occurred since system startup.
.\" .It Fl t
.\" Report on the number of page in and page reclaims since system startup,
.\" and the amount of time required by each.
.It Fl u
Output unformatted numeric values, suitable for field extraction and
numeric sorting.
Columnar output will not be nicely aligned.
.It Fl v
If specified together with
.Fl i ,
include IRQ numbers and IRQ target CPU numbers before device names.
.It Fl w
Pause
.Ar wait
seconds between each display.
If no repeat
.Ar wait
interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
.It Fl z
Report on memory used by the kernel zone allocator, by zone.
The information shown is the same as that returned by the
.Va vm.zone
sysctl variable.
.El
.Pp
By default,
.Nm
displays the following information:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It procs
Information about the numbers of processes in various states.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It r
in run queue
.It b
blocked for resources (i/o, paging, etc.)
.It w
runnable or short sleeper (< 20 secs) but swapped
.El
.It memory
Information about the usage of virtual and real memory.
Virtual pages (reported in units of 1024 bytes) are considered active if
they belong to processes which are running or have run in the last 20
seconds.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It fre
Approximate free and easily-freeable memory.
.El
.It page
Information about page faults and paging activity.
These are averaged each five seconds, and given in units per second.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It flt
total number of page faults
.It re
page reclaims (simulating reference bits)
.\" .It at
.\" pages attached (found in free list)
.It pi
pages paged in
.It po
pages paged out
.It fr
pages freed per second
.\" .It de
.\" anticipated short term memory shortfall
.El
.It disks
Disk operations per second (this field is system dependent).
Typically paging will be split across the available drives.
The header of the field is the first two characters of the disk name and
the unit number.
If more than three disk drives are configured in the system,
.Nm
displays only the first three drives, unless the user specifies the
.Fl n
argument to increase the number of drives displayed.  This will probably
cause the display to exceed 80 columns, however.
To force
.Nm
to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command line.
.Nm
defaults to show disks first, and then various other random devices in the
system to add up to three devices, if there are that many devices in the
system.  If devices are specified on the command line, or if a device type
matching pattern is specified (see above),
.Nm
will only display the given devices or the devices matching the pattern,
and will not randomly select other devices in the system.
.It faults
Trap/interrupt rate averages per second over last 5 seconds.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It int
device interrupts per interval (including clock interrupts)
.It sys
system calls per interval
.It ctx
cpu context switch rate (switches/interval)
.El
.It cpu
Breakdown of percentage usage of CPU time.
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
.It us
user time for normal and low priority processes
.It sy
system time
.It id
cpu idle
.El
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /dev/kmemxxx -compact
.It Pa /boot/kernel
default kernel namelist
.It Pa /dev/kmem
default memory file
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
The command:
.Dl vmstat -w 5
will print what the system is doing every five
seconds; this is a good choice of printing interval since this is how often
some of the statistics are sampled in the system.
Others vary every second and running the output for a while will make it
apparent which are recomputed every second.
.Pp
The command:
.Dl vmstat -p da -p cd -w 1
will tell vmstat to select the first three direct access or CDROM devices
and display statistics on those devices, as well as other systems
statistics every second.
