The options are as follows:

-a Only display providers that are at least 0.1% busy.

-c Enable display of geom(4) consumers too. The de

operations.

onds. Adding a
suffix of s, ms, or us (the default) indicates that

the update

microseconds,
respectively.

EXIT STATUS SEE ALSO

systat(1), geom(4), iostat(8), vmstat(8)

HISTORY

A gstat utility appeared in FreeBSD 5.0.

BUGS

The gstat utility only works interactively. It should prob

ably detect
when it is run non-interactively and produce simple ASCII

text output.
Otherwise, this utility should probably be folded into sys

tat(1) which
only works interactively and is the obvious utility to run

for various
other forms of system statistics.
