NAME

6       ifstat - handy utility to read network interface statistics
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ifstat [ OPTIONS ] [ INTERFACE_LIST ]
10
11       INTERFACE_LIST := INTERFACE_LIST | interface
12

DESCRIPTION

14       ifstat  neatly  prints  out  network interface statistics.  The utility
15       keeps records of the previous data displayed in history  files  and  by
16       default  only  shows  difference between the last and the current call.
17       Location of the history files defaults to /tmp/.ifstat.u$UID but may be
18       overridden with the IFSTAT_HISTORY environment variable. Similarly, the
19       default location for xstat (extended stats) is /tmp/.<xstat  name>_ifs‐
20       tat.u$UID.
