+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Iostat
+displays kernel
+.Tn I/O
+statistics on terminal, disk and cpu
+operations.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl c
+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
+interval is specified, the default is 1 second.
+.It Fl M
+Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core
+instead of the default
+.Dq Pa /dev/kmem .
+.It Fl N
+Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default
+.Dq Pa /vmunix .
+.It Fl w
+Pause
+.Ar wait
+seconds between each display.
+If no repeat
+.Ar count
+is specified, the default is infinity.

+.It tty
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It tin
+characters read from terminals
+.It tout
+characters written to terminals
+.El
+.It disks
+Disk operations (this field is system dependent).
+The header of the field is the disk name and unit number.
+If more than four disk drives are configured in the system,
+.Nm iostat
+displays only the first four drives.
+To force
+.Nm iostat
+to display specific drives, their names may be supplied on the command
+line.
+.Pp
