 7 control package (RCP).

10 Control arguments:
11 -all, -a
12    displays meters for both locks and devices.
13 -device STR, -dv STR
14    displays meters only for the device named STR.  This control
15    argument cannot be used with the -lock or -type control arguments.
16 -lock
17    displays only meters for locks.  The default is to display meter
18    information only for devices and not for locks.
19 -long, -lg
20    displays additional information about devices/locks (as selected by
21    the other control arguments) that is not otherwise printed (e.g.,
22    for -type, an assignment histogram; for -lock, four lines of
23    totals).
24 
25 
26 -report_reset, -rr
27    generates a full report and then performs the reset operation.
28 -reset, -rs
29    resets the metering interval for the invoking process so that the
30    interval begins at the last call with -reset specified.  If -reset
31    has never been given in a process, it is equivalent to having been
32    specified at system initialization time.
33 -type STR, -tp STR
34    displays meters only for devices of the type specified by STR.  This
35    control argument cannot be used with the -lock or -device control
36    arguments.  STR can be tape, disk, console, printer, punch, reader,
37    or special.

41 prints information for all devices only (no locks).

43 The following is a brief description of the variables printed if the
44 -lock control argument is specified.
45 % time locked
46    is the percentage of time spent locked.
47 % time waiting
48    is the percentage of time waiting for locks.
49 % number of waits
50    is the percentage of the number of attempts to lock that required a
51    wait.
52 
53 
54 If the -type control argument is specified, the following variables are
55 printed for that type only.  This same information is printed for all
56 device types if no control argument is given, and for the named device
57 if the -device control argument is given.
58 Total assignments
59    is the number of times the device has been assigned during the
60    metering interval.
61 Total errors
62    is the number of I/O transfer errors for the device during the
63    metering interval.
64 
65 
66 Total time assigned
67    is the time (in hours, minutes, and seconds) the device has been
68    assigned during the metering interval.
69 % time assigned
70    is the percentage of the metering interval that the device has been
71    assigned.
