24 .SH DESCRIPTION
25 .LP
26 The \fBkstat\fR utility examines the available kernel statistics, or kstats, on
27 the system and reports those statistics which match the criteria specified on
28 the command line. Each matching statistic is printed with its module, instance,
29 and name fields, as well as its actual value.
30 .sp
31 .LP
32 Kernel statistics may be published by various kernel subsystems, such as
33 drivers or loadable modules; each kstat has a module field that denotes its
34 publisher. Since each module might have countable entities (such as multiple
35 disks associated with the \fBsd\fR(7D) driver) for which it wishes to report
36 statistics, the kstat also has an instance field to index the statistics for
37 each entity; kstat instances are numbered starting from zero. Finally, the
38 kstat is given a name unique within its module.
39 .sp
40 .LP
41 Each kstat may be a special kstat type, an array of name-value pairs, or raw
42 data. In the name-value case, each reported value is given a label, which we
43 refer to as the statistic. Known raw and special kstats are given statistic
44 labels for each of their values by \fBkstat\fR; thus, all published values can
45 be referenced as \fImodule\fR:\fIinstance\fR:\fIname\fR:\fIstatistic\fR.
46 .sp
47 .LP
48 When invoked without any module operands or options, kstat will match all
49 defined statistics on the system. Example invocations are provided below. All
50 times are displayed as fractional seconds since system boot.
51 .SH OPTIONS
52 .LP
53 The tests specified by the following options are logically ANDed, and all
54 matching kstats will be selected. A regular expression containing shell
55 metacharacters must be protected from the shell by enclosing it with the
56 appropriate quotes.
57 .sp
58 .LP
59 The argument for the \fB-c\fR, \fB-i\fR, \fB-m\fR, \fB-n\fR, and \fB-s\fR
60 options may be specified as a shell glob pattern, or a regular expression
61 enclosed in '/' characters.

177 Alternate method of specifying module, instance, name, and statistic as
178 described above. Each of the module, instance, name, or statistic specifiers
179 may be a shell glob pattern or a regular expression enclosed by '/'
180 characters. It is possible to use both specifier types within a single operand.
181 Leaving a specifier empty is equivalent to using the '*' glob pattern for that
182 specifier.
