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
|
|
.I wait
|
|
interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\-M

Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
|
|
instead of the default ``/dev/kmem''.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\-N
|
|
Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default
|
|
``/netbsd''.
|
|

|
|
\-w
|
|
Pause
|
|
.I wait
