+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility examines the available kernel statistics, or kstats, on
the system and reports those statistics which match the criteria specified on
the command line. Each matching statistic is printed with its module, instance,
and name fields, as well as its actual value.
-.sp
-.LP
+.Lp
Kernel statistics may be published by various kernel subsystems, such as
drivers or loadable modules; each kstat has a module field that denotes its
publisher. Since each module might have countable entities (such as multiple
-disks associated with the \fBsd\fR(7D) driver) for which it wishes to report
+disks associated with the
+.Xr sd 7
+driver) for which it wishes to report
statistics, the kstat also has an instance field to index the statistics for
each entity; kstat instances are numbered starting from zero. Finally, the
kstat is given a name unique within its module.
-.sp
-.LP
+.Lp
Each kstat may be a special kstat type, an array of name-value pairs, or raw
data. In the name-value case, each reported value is given a label, which we
refer to as the statistic. Known raw and special kstats are given statistic
-labels for each of their values by \fBkstat\fR; thus, all published values can
-be referenced as \fImodule\fR:\fIinstance\fR:\fIname\fR:\fIstatistic\fR.
-.sp
-.LP
+labels for each of their values by
+.Va kstat ;
+thus, all published values can
+be referenced as
+.Ar module Ns : Ns Ar instance Ns : Ns Ar name Ns : Ns Ar statistic Ns .
+.Lp
When invoked without any module operands or options, kstat will match all
-defined statistics on the system. Example invocations are provided below. All
-times are displayed as fractional seconds since system boot.

+Displays an ISO 8601:2000 standard time format in the local timezone.
+.It Sy Z

+Note that when using normalized time formats, the accuracy of
+the result will depend on the resolution of the realtime clock (see
+.Xr clock_gettime 3C ),
+and in no case will be more accurate to absolute time than one microsecond.
+However, any offset error between timestamps will be the same for all values
+displayed within a single kstat snapshot.
