40.Nd kernel statistics server
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm /usr/libexec/rpc.rstatd
43.Op Ar interval
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm
46is a server which returns performance statistics obtained from the kernel.
47These statistics are read using the
48.Xr rup 1
49command.
50The
51.Nm
52daemon is normally invoked by
53.Xr inetd 8 .
54.Pp
55The
56.Ar interval
57argument specifies the number of seconds that
58.Nm
59should stay active, updating its internal statistics every
60second.  If no value is specified, 20 seconds will be used.  After
61.Ar interval
62seconds with no new RPC requests,
63if
64.Nm
65was invoked from
66.Xr inetd 8 ,
67.Nm
68exits.  Otherwise,
69.Nm
70loops, becoming dormant until it receives a new RPC
71request, and staying active until
72.Ar interval
73seconds pass with no new requests.
74.Pp
75.Nm
76uses an RPC protocol defined in
77.Pa /usr/include/rpcsvc/rstat.x .
