.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|

|
|
.Pp
|
|

|
|
.It Fl c Ar count
|
|
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
|
|
.Ar wait

|
|
.Ar hashname .

|
List the UVM histories being maintained by the kernel.
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
List all the hashes supported for
|
|
.Fl h
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl H .
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Report on the usage of kernel dynamic memory listed first by size of
|
|
allocation and then by type of usage.
|
|
Followed by a list of the kernel memory pools and their usage.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display the contents of the
|
|
.Dv uvmexp
|
|
structure.
|
|
This contains various paging event and memory status counters.
|
|
.It Fl u Ar histname
|
|
Dump the specified UVM history.
|
|
.It Fl U
|
|
Dump all UVM histories.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Print more verbose information.
|
|
When used with the
|
|
.Fl i ,
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl m

|
options prints out all counters, not just those with non-zero values.
|
|
.It Fl w Ar wait
|
|
Pause
|

|
.Pp
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays the following information:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width memory
|
|
.It procs
|
|
Information about the numbers of processes in various states.

|
|
.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 abcd -compact
|
|
.It avm

|
|
.It fre
|
|

|
|
.El
|
|
.It page
|
|
Information about page faults and paging activity.
|
|
These are averaged every five seconds, and given in units per second.

.Bl -tag -width abcd -compact
|
|
.It flt
|
|

|
|
.It pi
|
|

|
|
.It po
|
|
pages paged out
|
|
.It fr
|

|
|
.It sr
|
|
pages scanned by clock algorithm, per-second
|
|
.El
|
|
.It disks
|
|
Disk transfers per second.
|
|
Typically paging will be split across the available drives.
|
|
The header of the field is the first character of the disk name and
|
|
the unit number.
|
|
If more than four disk drives are configured in the system,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
displays only the first four drives.
|
|
To force
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command line.
|
|
.It faults
|
|
Trap/interrupt rate averages per second over last 5 seconds.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -width abcd -compact

.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command
|
|
.Dq Li 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.
