+.Dd February 1, 2022 +.Dt VMSTAT 1 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm vmstat +.Nd report virtual memory statistics +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.Nm +.Op Fl CefHiLlmstUvW +.Op Fl c Ar count +.Op Fl h Ar hashname +.Op Fl M Ar core +.Op Fl N Ar system +.Op Fl n Ar diskcount +.Op Fl u Ar histname +.Op Fl w Ar wait +.Op Ar disks +.Sh DESCRIPTION +.Nm +reports certain kernel statistics kept about process, virtual memory, +disk, trap, and CPU activity. +If +.Nm +is invoked without any options, it displays the summary of statistics since +boot and exits. +This is also referred to as the first line of +.Nm . +.Pp +The options are as follows: +.Bl -tag -width xxxhistname +.It Fl C +Report on kernel memory caches. +Combine with the +.Fl m +option to see information about memory pools that back the caches. +.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 +interval is specified, the default is 1 second. +.It Fl e +Report the values of system event counters. +.It Fl f +Report fork statistics. +.It Fl H +Report all hash table statistics. +.It Fl h Ar hashname +Report hash table statistics for +.Ar hashname . +.It Fl i +Report the values of system interrupt counters. +.It Fl L +List all the hashes supported for +.Fl h +and +.Fl H . +.It Fl l +List the UVM histories being maintained by the kernel. +.It Fl M Ar core +Extract values associated with the name list from the specified core +instead of the default +.Pa /dev/mem . +.It Fl m +Report on the list of the kernel memory pools and their usage. +.It Fl N Ar system +Extract the name list from the specified system instead of the default +.Pa /netbsd . +.It Fl n Ar diskcount +Display up to +.Ar diskcount +disks in the standard output, instead of the default 2. +.It Fl s +Display the contents of the +.Dv uvmexp +structure. +This contains various paging event and memory status counters. +.It Fl t +Display the contents of the +.Dv vmtotal +structure. +This includes information about processes and virtual memory. +.Pp +The process part shows the number of processes in the following states: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width abc -compact +.It ru +on the run queue +.It dw +in disk I/O wait +.It pw +waiting for paging +.It sl +sleeping +.El +.Pp +The virtual memory section shows: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width abcdefgh -compact +.It total-v +Total virtual memory +.It active-v +Active virtual memory in use +.It active-r +Active real memory in use +.It vm-sh +Shared virtual memory +.It avm-sh +Active shared virtual memory +.It rm-sh +Shared real memory +.It arm-sh +Active shared real memory +.It free +Free memory +.El +.Pp +All memory values are shown in number of pages. +.It Fl U +Dump all UVM histories. +.It Fl u Ar histname +Dump the specified UVM history. +.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 +Print more verbose information about kernel memory pools. +.It Fl w Ar wait +Pause +.Ar wait +seconds between each display. +If no repeat +.Ar count +is specified, the default is infinity. +The +.Nm +command will accept and honor a negative number of +.Ar wait +seconds. +.El +.Pp +By default, +.Nm +displays the following information: +.Bl -tag -width memory +.It procs +Information about the numbers of processes in various states. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width abcd -compact +.It r +in run queue +.It b +blocked for resources (i/o, paging, etc.) +.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 +active virtual pages +.It fre +size of the free list +.El +.It page +Information about page faults and paging activity. +These are averaged every five seconds, and given in units per second. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width abcd -compact +.It flt +total page faults +.It re +page reclaims (simulating reference bits) +.It pi +pages paged in +.It po +pages paged out +.It fr +pages freed per second +.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 +.It in +device interrupts per interval (including clock interrupts) +.It sy +system calls per interval +.It cs +CPU context switch rate (switches/interval) +.El +.It cpu +Breakdown of percentage usage of CPU time. +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width abcd -compact +.It us +user time for normal and low priority processes +.It sy +system time +.It id +CPU idle +.El +.El +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width eeenymeeny -compact +.It Pa /netbsd +default kernel namelist +.It Pa /dev/mem +default memory file +.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. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr fstat 1 , +.Xr netstat 1 , +.Xr nfsstat 1 , +.Xr ps 1 , +.Xr systat 1 , +.Xr iostat 8 , +.Xr pstat 8 , +.Xr kernhist 9 +.Sh BUGS +The +.Fl c , +.Fl n , +and +.Fl w +options are only available with the default output. +.Pp +The +.Fl l , +.Fl U , +and +.Fl u +options are useful only if the system was compiled with support for UVM +history. |
