30.Sh NAME
31.Nm gstat
32.Nd print statistics about GEOM disks
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Op Fl c
36.Op Fl I Ar interval
37.Sh DESCRIPTION
38The
39.Nm
40utility can be used to monitor I/O transactions of
41.Xr geom 4
42devices.
43.Pp
44The options are as follows:
45.Bl -tag -width indent
46.It Fl c
47Enable display of
48.Xr geom 4
49consumers too.
50The default is to show statistics only for
51.Xr geom 4
52producers.
53.It Fl I Ar interval
54Refresh the
55.Nm
56display every
57.Ar interval
58microseconds.
59Adding a suffix of
60.Cm s , ms ,
61or
62.Cm us
63(the default) indicates that the update interval is specified in
64seconds, milliseconds, or microseconds, respectively.

66.Sh DIAGNOSTICS

69.Xr geom 4
70.Sh HISTORY
71A
72.Nm
73utility appeared in
74.Fx 5.0 .
75.Sh BUGS
76The
77.Nm
78utility only works interactively.
79It should probably detect when it is run non-interactively and produce
80simple
81.Tn ASCII
82text output.
83Otherwise, this utility should probably be folded into
84.Xr systat 1
85which only works interactively and is the obvious utility to run for
86various other forms of system statistics.
