Clarify a few details about iostat(8) behavior:
- The default repeat count for iostat(8) is 1 unless there was a -w on the command line. - A -x display doesn't include TTY or CPU stats by default but they can be turned on with a -T or -C, respectively. Submitted by: arundel (initial version) Reviewed by: arundel MFC after: 1 week
