  24 .SH DESCRIPTION
  25 .sp
  26 .LP
  27 The \fBkstat\fR utility examines the available kernel statistics, or kstats, on
  28 the system and reports those statistics which match the criteria specified on
  29 the command line. Each matching statistic is printed with its module, instance,
  30 and name fields, as well as its actual value.
  31 .sp
  32 .LP
  33 Kernel statistics may be published by various kernel subsystems, such as
  34 drivers or loadable modules; each kstat has a module field that denotes its
  35 publisher. Since each module might have countable entities (such as multiple
  36 disks associated with the \fBsd\fR(7D) driver) for which it wishes to report
  37 statistics, the kstat also has an instance field to index the statistics for
  38 each entity; kstat instances are numbered starting from zero. Finally, the
  39 kstat is given a name unique within its module.
